Chemical storage and handling are subject to strict regulations. Internal transport, tanks, and piping must be carried out in accordance with regulations. This includes:
- Location of tanks
- Construction and choice of materials
- Barriers to prevent overfilling
- System for automatic notification of leaks
- Reliable solutions for pumping and piping/hoses
ArcticFlow has a thorough knowledge of current legislation and regulations that stipulate requirements for the design of your plant for chemical storage and chemical handling. Section 18 of the Pollution regulations, also referred to as the “Tank regulations”, contains specific requirements about how chemical storage tanks should be handled. The team at ArcticFlow is extremely familiar with these regulations.
Other requirements also need to be met. When it comes to sodium hypochlorite handling and storage or storing and handling other chemicals, one of the most important considerations is HSE, which must be complied with to protect the safety of the operators.
