Every industry that manufactures or treats hazardous materials requires primary containment solutions. Whether you’re using hazardous chemicals, oil, diesel, or processing waste, any unplanned or uncontrolled release of these materials can cause severe environmental hazards. Primary containment measures ensure that the material does not react with its immediate surroundings. Effective containment systems reduce direct contact […]
Fracking is a term used to describe hydraulic fracturing, a process developed to extract oil and gas from shale rock. Shale is a soft clay and mud-based sedimentary rock known for holding pockets of natural gasses and oil. The process of oil and natural gas fracking involves injecting liquids at high pressure into subterranean rock. […]
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought industries across the world to a grinding halt. All non-essential verticals have been struck, chief among them the oil and gas industry. With people across the globe staying at home and travel restrictions in place, the demand for petrol, diesel, and jet fuel has drastically reduced. The Impact of COVID-19 […]
Based on past events, it has become clear that inland spills are costly and damaging to the environment. The Keystone Pipeline oil spill in South Dakota in November 2017 resulted in a leak of about 210,000 gallons of oil. Incidents like this can and should be prevented, and prevention can be only done with adequate […]
Hydrochloric acid (HCI) is powerful, toxic, and highly corrosive. According to research, HCl is responsible for at least one-third of the fatal accidents caused by chemical spills. For this reason, the most commonly recommended solution for storing hydrochloric acid is a robust poly storage tank with secondary containment. HCl, also known as muriatic acid, is […]
Are you working on a construction project? Do you own a commercial site? Roll-off containers can keep your job site well organized and save you from multiple trips to dump yards for waste disposal or recycling. Thanks to their mobility and various sizing options, roll-off containers are a safe and convenient way to discard debris. […]
What is Groundwater Remediation? Groundwater can be defined as any natural water present below the surface. Most often, it is found in underground layers or the subsurface of water-bearing permeable rock, rock fractures or unconsolidated materials known as aquifers. This resting state leaves groundwater susceptible to common pollutants such as gasoline, oil, road salts and […]
Attracting hefty fines from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the last thing your small business needs. Businesses across industries must stay up to date when it comes to proper hazardous waste disposal. Take pharmaceuticals, for instance. In February 2019, the EPA prohibited “down-the-drain” hazardous waste disposal by pharmas, along with other changes. Why is […]
