ECONAD Temporary Tanks for Petroleum Products are portable containment systems designed for the temporary collection and storage of oil, fuels and other petroleum products during emergency response, maintenance and field operations.
Their collapsible construction allows the tanks to be transported compactly, rapidly assembled on site and put into operation without the need for complex installation equipment.
The tanks are particularly suitable for storing petroleum products recovered from the water surface during oil spill response operations.
ECONAD temporary tanks can be used for:
- Emergency oil spill response
- Temporary storage of recovered oil
- Fuel and petroleum product storage
- Ports and marine terminals
- Oil terminals and refineries
- Industrial facilities
- Environmental cleanup operations
- Remote and field operations
- Temporary collection of contaminated liquids
- Oil spill response bases
The tanks can be incorporated into a complete oil recovery system together with skimmers, pumps, hoses and oil containment booms.
The tanks are designed for quick assembly directly at the operating site.
Their prefabricated construction allows the system to be installed in a short period of time without specialised tools, making it particularly suitable for emergency oil spill response operations where rapid deployment is essential.
After use, the tank can be emptied, cleaned, dismantled and prepared for transportation or storage.
The liquid-containing section is manufactured from strong synthetic fabric with a double-sided PVC coating.
The material is selected for resistance to:
- Oil and petroleum products
- Seawater
- UV radiation
- Outdoor environmental conditions
- Repeated industrial use
The fabric density is at least 900 g/m², providing the strength required for temporary storage applications.
The structural seams of the flexible tank are manufactured using high-frequency welding technology.
This method provides strong and reliable joints suitable for containing petroleum products during temporary storage operations.
Depending on the tank configuration, the system can incorporate a supporting steel structure.
For additional wall stability, the construction can also be reinforced with 6 mm moisture-resistant plywood panels protected by polyethylene foam.
This provides additional structural support while maintaining the advantages of a transportable and rapidly deployable system.
Depending on project requirements, the tank can be supplied with additional protective elements, including:
- Ground protection layer
- Polyethylene protective flooring
- Covering canopy
- Access ladder
- Additional structural reinforcement
These components help protect the tank during operation and can be selected according to the installation area and expected operating conditions.
ECONAD temporary tanks are designed for storage and operation at ambient temperatures from approximately -30°C to +60°C.
This allows the system to be used in a wide range of climatic and operating environments.
Temporary tanks can be used as part of a complete oil spill recovery system.
Recovered oil can be transferred directly from:
- Disc skimmers
- Weir skimmers
- Drum skimmers
- Vacuum recovery units
- Oil transfer pumps
- Temporary collection points
The tanks provide temporary intermediate storage until the recovered liquid can be transported for treatment, recycling or disposal.
Different oil spill response operations require different storage capacities and installation arrangements.
ECONAD can provide temporary storage solutions according to:
- Required tank capacity
- Type of stored liquid
- Available installation area
- Required operating temperature
- Transportation limitations
- Pump and hose configuration
- Required accessories
- Duration of deployment
- Rapid Installation: Prefabricated construction allows the tank to be assembled quickly without specialised tools.
- Compact Transportation: Collapsible construction reduces storage and transportation requirements compared with rigid tanks.
- Petroleum-Resistant Materials: PVC-coated fabric is suitable for temporary storage of oil and petroleum products.
- Large Capacity Range: Different tank sizes allow the system to be adapted to small and large oil spill response operations.
- Durable Construction: Reinforced materials and welded seams provide reliable performance during temporary storage.
- Reusable Design: The tanks can be cleaned, dismantled and reused for future emergency response or industrial operations.
- Flexible Configuration: Capacity, reinforcement and accessories can be adapted according to project requirements.
