Protecting Our Water - Keep Chemicals In The Tank

摘要

With an instrumentation and monitoring system, spills and leaks are detected at multiple levels - with tank monitors, HMI software and receiver testers providing redundancy. In the petroleum industry, the American Petroleum Institute (API) has recommended practices for preventing and responding to spills (API 2350 recommended practices for aboveground storage tanks). In the chemical industry, most facilities that manufacture chemicals are required to have a Spill Prevention Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plan in place.
