Our sulfuric acid tank is corroded and leaking,a problem made even worse because our plant is located in a swamp next to wetlands of a major river.We're desperate because the inspectors give us two years and we are squeezed against a creek.The only economically viable location is 100 ft from the creek.I am proposing a 12-ft diameter,50,000-gal.double-walled storage tank without a diked-in containment area as the replacement.Corporate is concerned about not having a containment area.However,water bubbles out of the ground in our current diked areas.Moreover,a typical secondary containment area only lasts about 30 years before pipe suction lines buckle because the pumps are mounted on the area floors;we've tried re-lining dike floors without much success.
