Fireguard® Tanks

FIREGUARD^® features:

• lnsulates product in the tank from ambient temperature variations, reducing emissions to the environment
• The primary and secondary tanks can be tightness tested on-site with standard testing procedures, unlike other designs 
• Steel outer wall provides low-cost maintenance and protection from weathering.
• Primary storage tank and secondary containment compatible with a wide range of fuels and chemicals, including biodiesel and ethanol.
• Support designs available for all seismic requirements 
• lnterstitial space can be monitored for leak detection.
• Meets temperature requirements when the furnace test was extended to 4 hours

The only tank that meets all of these standards:

• UL 2085 Listed “Protected” tank
•  Ballistics and impact protection per UL 2085
• Both the inner and outer steel tanks are built to UL standards
• National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) 30 & 30A
• International Fire Code (lFC)
• California Air Resources Board (CARB) Standing Loss Control testing requirements for air emissions
• Steel Tank lnstitute (STl) Standard F94Lfor Protected Aboveground Storage Tanks

Additional features:

• Capacities range up to 75,000 gallons
• Steel construction allows for recycling
• Low-cost compartments and customization
• Built to nationally-recognized STI standards with strict third-party quality control inspection program

Is your aboveground tank everything it’s cracked up to be?

Fireguard® vs Concrete Encased

Fireguard®

• Secondary containment is testable on-site using standard, economical testing procedures
• lmpermeable, crack resistant steel outer tank which encloses the concrete-encased primary tank
•  Steel secondary containment provides added strength, and security and is easily recycled
• The lightweight monolithic thermal insulation material Fireguard’ uses is a specialized concrete that is part of a patented process resulting in a lighter material weight than concrete alone
• The secondary containment on certain designs may require elaborate and expensive procedures to be tested on-site
• The exposed concrete outer wall is susceptible to cracking, spalling, and weathering – problems that are expensive to correct and are typically not covered by a warranty
• Polyethylene sheeting depends on concrete for strength and takes years to decompose
• An average L2,00O gallon concrete-encased tank weighs approximately 100,000 pounds – increasing costs in transporting and setting the tank in a new location
