Many on-site fuel / chemical storage tanks and silos are protected by concrete or brick bunds to minimize spillage and environmental damage. However, these structures can be damaged, corrode, and prone to cracking if not lined correctly. Bunds that are leaking or contaminated risk breaching Environment Agency pollution guidelines potentially leading to costly site repair works and hefty fines for the operator. Adding a protective lining to your bund can ensure it remains fluid-tight for the lifetime of the tank, and offers additional protection if a leak occurs.

The type of Bund Lining Systems required will depend on the chemicals stored within the bund and the liquid handling / storage environment. Different linings have different chemical-resistant properties so it is important to get this right for legal adherence and to avoid potential contamination and spillage.

Guardians of Containment: Understanding the Essentials of Bund Lining Systems

Typically the best option is a GRP or Polyurea material lining. These offer a combination of strength, chemical resistance and elasticity that is ideal for a concrete/brick structure. They are generally hot spray applied and cured in seconds so that the structure is quickly back to service / operation.

Other lining options include epoxy resins. These tend to be hard and rigid but are good for a wide range of “normal” chemicals and do deal with corrosion well. However, they are not suited to areas where movement stress cracking is likely to occur. Polyurethane and polyurea are much more flexible, so work well as a bund liner for oil or other non-aggressive chemical environments.

Creating a social media marketing strategy takes time, but it can be made easier by following these tips:

Lenostube by figuring out your goals. Once you have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve, you can make the most of your budget and resources by creating content that will get you closer to those goals.

Next, take a look at the types of content that your audience will respond to. Whether it’s engaging photos, fun TikTok videos, or informative podcasts, pumping out a variety of post types is a great way to keep your followers engaged.

Finally, it’s important to run competitor research to see what types of content your competitors are putting out and when they’re most active. Using this information will allow you to create a strategy that will help set you apart from the competition and reach your target audience at the right times.

Once you’ve developed your strategy, it’s crucial to measure your performance over time. Make sure you’re setting up social media analytics dashboards that will provide you with insights into your engagement and the overall success of your campaigns. Keeping track of these metrics will allow you to refine your efforts as needed and continually improve over time.

With growing economies leading to more intensive industry and manufacturing as well as terrorist threats, the need for fire service, emergency response and maintenance workers to be equipped with portable multi-gas detector has increased. Most environments where a team may enter need to be tested for a combination of toxic gases including carbon monoxide, hydrogen sulfide and oxygen depletion/enrichment as well as combustible gases including LEL (lower explosive limit) and UEL (upper explosive limit).

A standard multi-gas detector uses one sensor technology that ionizes the gas molecules with the help of a heated metal oxide semiconductor. The ionized molecules then pass through two charged plates creating an electric current between the plates that is proportional to the amount of gas present. This output is converted into a display reading for the user and is also logged for future reference.

Most confined space entry instruments use this sensor but some use electrochemical sensors or PID (photometric infrared) sensors as well. For specialized applications, such as spraying a confined space with high concentrations of CO2 to drive out or euthanize pests such as rodents, bed bugs and cockroaches, a different type of carbon dioxide multi-gas detector is used. This instrument uses a highly accurate CO2 sensor and can record the data for future reference.

Many of these multi-gas detectors offer a range of optional accessories to allow customization to the specific needs of users such as a holster with pouch, a metal belt clip or an English manual. In addition, some instruments feature a backlight to illuminate the display in low light conditions and are equipped with alarm settings that take the presence of other combustible gases into consideration when alarming.
