This report summarizes the technical findings of an EPA study which evaluated the viability of volumetric tanks tests as a means of detecting leaks in underground storage tanks.

Here is the first book to deal with underground storage tanks and pipes-designed for beneficial use by anyone involved with leak detection and monitoring of underground storage systems. Underground Storage Systems gives a complete overview of how to detect a release, what equipment is required-and currently available, and how that equipment can be implemented effectively. In addition, it reviews the different techniques available to monitor an underground storage system and how to integrate these techniques to achieve a comprehensive monitoring program.

Steel tanks have been used for underground storage of petroleum products and derivatives for about 30 years. The oldest tanks have now exceeded their design life and product leaks related to corrosion problems are increasing. The length of the tank's life is one of several factors which could result in a petroleum product leak, which can contaminate soil and water in the immediate surroundings. This report summarizes the different recovery and treatment techniques applicable to hydrocarbon contaminated soil and water due to tank leaks. Detection and prevention are briefly discussed and some examples of available equipment are given.

A guide to the many variables affecting leak detection methods. Includes volumetric leak detection tests, nonvolumetric leak tests, inventory control, and leak effects monitoring.
