Case Study - SuperVault

Design Brief

• Provide safe storage above ground  tanks for 270,000 litres of methanol of varying capacities over 5 sites
• Environmentally preferable, minimising pollution risk. Proven accredited specification
• Minimum installation work, and long life

Project Details

• 5 sites  comprising 3, 2 & 2 x 35,000litres 2 x 11,000 and 1 x 5,500 litres tanks.
• Free standing  bespoke security fill cabinets housing specified valves and equipment
• Access walkways and stairs

Ledbury Welding & Engineering licensed manufactuers of the 4hr fire rated & multi hazzard accredited Supervault were selected to supply these tanks as part of Southern Water's capital scheme for nitrate removal. Five sites were selected for methanol (a bacteria nutrient source) for the dosing process which therefore required bulk storage. Methanol with similar characteristics to petrol needed a proven above ground environmentally acceptable storage solution. The Supervault answered this challenge easily with its unique performance specification, 100% safety record and with the added bonus of reduced civils works by eleiminating the requirement of a bund.
