Spills at oil and gas sites are bad news. They can pose a significant risk to the team working on the site, contaminate the immediate environment, and even have the potential to create long-term health issues in the surrounding regions. That’s why the Environmental Protection Agency or EPA has strict regulations in place for oil […]
In 2018, Home Depot Inc agreed to pay over $27.8 million to settle charges of illegal hazardous waste disposal in California. Home Depot outlets were dumping hazardous waste like aerosol cans, waste batteries, and paints at local landfills that should not have received them in the first place. Large corporations are not the only ones […]
More oil and gas deposits, greater revenues, and a positive outlook are all setting the industry up for rapid expansion, which is helpful to the nation’s economy and creates job opportunities. However, more opportunities in the oil and gas industry lead to more workers facing risks at extraction sites that could result in accidents and […]
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. […]

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 […]
