FIREGUARD® double‐wall fire‐protected aboveground storage tank features an inner and outer steel tank with a unique lightweight thermal insulation material that exceeds the UL 2‐hour fire test. Insulating material is 75% lighter than concrete, reducing shipping, installation and relocation costs.

• Insulates product in tank from ambient temperature variations, reducing emissions to the environment

• Primary and secondary tank can be tightness tested on site with standard testing procedures, unlike other designs

• Steel outer wall provides low cost maintenance and protection from weathering

• Primary storage tank and secondary containment compatible with a wide range of fuels and chemicals, including biodiesel and ethanol

• Support designs available for all seismic requirements

• Interstitial space can be monitored for leak detection

• Meets temperature requirements when the furnace test was extended to 4 hours

FIREGUARD® SPECIFICATIONS

CYLINDRICAL DESIGN

RECTANGULAR DESIGN

*Dimensions and weights are sample sizes. Individual manufacturers may have alternate dimensions.

• Secondary containment is testable on‐site using standard, economical testing procedures

• Impermeable, crack resistant steel outer tank which encloses the concrete encased primary tank

• Steel secondary containment provides added strength, security and is easily recycled

• The lightweight monolithic thermal insulation material Fireguard® uses is a specialized concrete that is part of a patented process resulting in a lighter material weight than concrete alone

• Both the primary and secondary tanks are fitted with emergency vents that will open in an emergency at a minimum pressure of 2.5 psi

• The secondary containment on certain designs may require elaborate and expensive procedures to be tested on‐site

• Exposed concrete outer wall is susceptible to cracking, spalling and weathering ‐ problems that are expensive to correct and are typically not covered by warranty

• Polyethylene sheeting depends on concrete for strength and takes years to decompose

• An average 12,000 gallon concrete‐encased tank weighs approximately 100,000 pounds ‐ increasing costs in transporting and setting the tank in a new location

• Primary tank is fitted with an emergency vent, but the secondary encasement is designed to fail in an emergency
