When Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel exploded due to a static spark in this aboveground fuel storage tank, the concrete shell of the ConVault absorbed the energy protecting the rest of the installation. |
|
|
 A
high speed impact with this ConVault totaled this car, leaving
the ConVault unharmed. |
|
|
This
250 ton silo collapsed onto a ConVault. Thanks to ConVault's patented
design, no fuel leaked. This was particularly important as an
arc welder fire occurred next to the tank as a result of the silo
collapse. |
|
|
A
warehouse fire occurred next to two ConVault ASTs. Firefighters
actually used the tanks as a barrier position from which to battle
the blaze. Although the metal buildings were consumed by the intense
heat, the tanks were completely undamaged and remain in service
today. |
|
|
Flooding in
an area containing some 3,000 ASTs resulted in dozens of UST wash-aways.
ConVault Tanks survived without a single failure. |
|
|
Seven
crew members died in a dramatic, fiery crash of a C-130 Hercules.
The fire could have been worse as the plane landed on an AST.
Because it was a ConVault, the tank continue to supply fuel to
a standby generator. The tank survived the incident. |
