Potent Waste Storage
& Transfer System

Overview

All potent waste storage systems are designed to meet the highest level of safety and are customized to meet the requirements of various industries. Ranging in sizes from several gallons to over 25,000 gallons and available in different materials from thermoplastic, stainless, FRP and alloy materials, each system can be tailored to the specific application. Systems are available in both sanitary and industrial configurations, with options for containerization and built for both indoor and outdoor storage. With a number of different pump out and transfer options, each system is custom designed to be integrated into the building waste system. Able to handle the different waste streams form hazardous, carcinogenic, volatile, flammable waste as well as OEB (Occupational Exposure Band) waste, these units are fully designed and optimized for operator safety as well as handling requirements.

Key Design Features

  • Safely manage and store high-potency liquid waste with corrosive and/or volatile characteristics.
  • Operate reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments.
  • Provide redundant safety instrumentation, precise metering, and complete system modularization.
  • Allow automated  transfer of waste to offsite trucks without cross contamination or operator exposure.
  • Seamlessly integrate with the facility’s automation platform for real-time control and alarms.
  • Monitoring safety of operations and aligning all components.
  • Catwalk and access grating.

Storage Design Features
