Abstract
An environmentally secure weather containment system for at least one chemical container comprising a primary container significantly nested within and sealingly mated with a secondary container, the primary tank having an exposed portion, the secondary container providing a housing for at least one pump and at least one port for at least one a power line or signal line above a 110% containment level.
Claims16
An environmental containment system for at least one approximately 25 to 500 gallon chemical tank and pump, the system comprising:
- at least one primary tank of approximately 25 gallon to 500 gallon capacity, structured for substantial nesting within, and sealingly mating with, a secondary tank, the sealing mating being against weather;
- the primary tank having an exposed portion;
- and
- the secondary tank structured and sized to accommodate at least one pump and to provide, in conjunction with the primary tank, at least 110% containment of primary tank capacity.
A method for environmentally containing at least one approximately 25 to 500 gallon chemical tank and associated pump, the method comprising:
- nesting at least one primary tank of approximately 25 gallon to 500 gallon capacity within a secondary tank;
- sealingly mating a portion of the primary tank with the secondary tank, against weather penetration, such that a portion of the primary tank is exposed;
- locating at least one pump within the secondary tank, sealingly protected against weather;
- and
- structuring the secondary tank of sufficient size to provide, in conjunction with the primary tank(s), at least 110% containment of primary tank capacity.
