Pillow Tank and Spill Berm Protecting the Fragile Antarctic Ecosystem

PRLog (Press Release) - Jan 15, 2009 -
Basic Concepts now has Environmental Spill Containment Products deployed on all seven continents with this most recent Sentry Quickberm and pillow tank installation at a site in Antarctica.  The spill berm: http://www.basicconcepts.com/products/quickberm.asp  pictured above was constructed of heavy-duty 32 oz. polyurethane with an 18” tall wall that is constructed to withstand the harsh environment and sub-freezing temperatures of the polar region.  The Quickberm was designed to provide secondary spill containment for a 10,000 gallon fuel bladder.  The customer had two 10,000 gallon hydrocarbon flexable storage bladders or pillow tanks http://www.basicconcepts.com/products/products_bladders.asp requiring two spill berms.

This was our customer’s comments upon deploying the two spill berms: “… the berms were a breeze to set up and looks like they are going to work out well.”  After well over a year in service the spill berms have performed so well that additional spill berms have been purchased.  

Basic Concepts’ Environmental Spill Containment Products have been proven in the harshest environments.  The ecosystem of the polar region is vulnerable to oil spills, so when the need arose Basic Concepts is who was entrusted.  Basic Concepts’ engineered spill containment berms and related products can be customized to solve almost any customer requirement.  Remember that Sentry is always on guard against environmental oil spills.
