Natural disasters, such as hurricanes, can have a significant impact on industrial facilities, particularly those with above-ground chemical storage tanks. Hurricanes often bring torrential rains, strong winds, and flooding that can cause structural damage to these tanks, leading to potential leaks, spills, and contamination. When such damage occurs, managing the remaining chemicals within these tanks becomes a crucial concern. At Altiras Chemicals, we offer solutions to recover value from remaining products, understanding the challenges involved.
The Impact of Hurricanes on Chemical Storage Tanks
Above-ground chemical storage tanks are designed to withstand various weather conditions, but hurricanes present unique challenges. High winds can compromise the structural integrity of tanks while flying debris can puncture or dent the exterior. Prolonged exposure to water during flooding can cause rusting and corrosion, potentially leading to leaks or contamination of the stored chemicals. A damaged tank poses environmental and safety risks, requiring immediate attention to safely manage the remaining contents.
Recovering Value from Damaged Tanks
Altiras Chemicals specializes in beneficial reuse and chemical recycling. We are equipped to help companies recover value from the remaining chemicals in damaged storage tanks. If your facility has experienced damage due to a hurricane, our team can assess the remaining chemical product to determine its potential for reuse or recycling.
We purchase chemicals in bulk, including expired, co-products, surplus, and mixtures. Even when products aren’t suitable for their original use, they often still hold value for alternative applications. Altiras Chemicals offers sustainable, cost-effective solutions for remaining products, reducing waste and preventing environmental liabilities.
