UST Fuel Tank Integrity Testing

Underground storage tanks are used across various industries to store fluids. However, leaks can pose serious risks, including soil and groundwater contamination. Regular inspections are essential for early detection and prevention. Australian regulations such as AS 4897-2008 require strict inspection standards to reduce these hazards.

At Pure Diesel Services, we provide modern solutions to help businesses meet these requirements, ensuring environmental protection and operational integrity.

Key Inspection Requirements

• Routine In-Service Checks: Monthly ground-level inspections to detect early signs of leaks.
• Tightness Testing: Conducted every five years to verify tank integrity and prevent leaks that could pollute surrounding areas.
• Internal Inspections: Occur every ten years (or as mandated) by emptying tanks for an in-depth professional evaluation.

Innovative Technology

We use acoustic leak detection to assess underground tanks without direct access. By transmitting sound waves, this non-invasive technique identifies cracks or leaks, helping to prevent spills. Benefits include:

• Accurate, cost-effective detection without emptying or cleaning the tank
• Simultaneous testing of tank and connected piping
• Minimal downtime; no need to disconnect piping
• Effective at various fluid levels up to 80 m³ capacity

Pure Diesel Services is dedicated to ensuring underground tank owners comply with safety standards through advanced inspection methods and industry best practices. Our goal is to reduce risks, enhance maintenance, and maintain fully compliant operations.

Diesel Fuel Polishing

Fuel polishing is vital for maintaining clean, high-quality diesel. Over time, stored fuel can collect water, sediment, and other impurities that affect performance. Polishing restores diesel to peak condition, ensuring essential systems operate smoothly.

Why Fuel Polishing Matters

• Clean, High-Quality Fuel: Essential for emergency systems and daily operations.
• Prevents Contamination: Water in fuel fosters bacteria, corrosion, and sludge.
• Reduces Downtime & Costs: Clogged components lead to breakdowns, but polishing helps keep equipment reliable.

By eliminating water, sediment, and other contaminants, fuel polishing boosts engine performance, cuts maintenance expenses, and prolongs equipment life.

How Fuel Polishing Works

The process starts by filtering large particles. Then, fuel is passed through finer filters to remove smaller impurities and water droplets. Finally, additives like biocides or antioxidants may be used to maintain long-term fuel quality.

Pure Diesel Services provides automated polishing systems that circulate and filter stored diesel at set intervals. This ensures your fuel remains clean and ready to power critical operations at any time.
