Leak Tightness Testing of Underground Tank Systems

摘要

One hundred fifty underground tanks and sumps used to contain petroleum products and potentially contaminated process wastewater have given Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory an unusual opportunity to experiment with a variety of leak tightness test methods and compare applicability of each method. Five types of commercially available Precision Test leak-test equipment have been used: Associated Environmental Systems (AES), Hunter Leak Lokator, Horner Ezy-Check, Heath Petro-Tite, and Tank Auditor.
