Fabric Solutions of Australia Products for Containing and Disposal of Waste Fluids

March 29, 2012 - PRLog -- Fabric Solutions of Australia offers a wide assortment of tanks, bladders, liners and other devices for private and industrial liquid containment needs. Some of their products are used in industry to contain and dispose of waste fluids, caustic chemicals and other substances that would otherwise enter the environment and pose a hazard. Other FSA products are suitable for the containment of drinkable water and are being widely used for the growing field of water harvesting.

Many industries produce liquid waste products. Sometimes this consists of a slurry of dirty water containing solid particles. At other times, the waste may be of a corrosive or caustic nature that could cause property damage, injury or even death. In the short term, the containment of these substances is necessary so the work can be safely completed and cleanup can happen. In the long term, containment is critical for the environment because harmful chemicals can remain in the soil for years and cause ongoing health problems for future residents on the site.

Sometimes a spill has already occurred and containment facilities are needed on very short notice. FSA’s containers can literally be unfolded and put into use instantly, allowing the containment job to proceed as quickly as possible. When these collapsible containers are flat on the ground, they can be driven over without damage.

Sometimes there are standing tanks for containing the waste from an industrial operation, but these can corrode in time and develop small leaks. Given the extremely hazardous nature of much industrial waste, it is in the company’s best interests to hedge their bets by installing tank liners, flexible membranes to keep the liquid in the tanks. When small cracks or corroded spots appear in the metal outer tank, the liner will prevent leakage until personnel have a chance to repair the problem.

The pillow tanks made by Fabric Solutions of Australia have found many applications in military and disaster relief work. They can be folded and stacked for easy transport, then filled and deployed atop vehicles or on the ground. In addition to transporting drinking water, FSA’s products can be used to contain firefighting chemicals, fuel and other liquids used in emergency operations.

FSA’s containers are composed entirely of non-toxic materials, so they are safe for all forms of marine life. Pond liners can be used to create ornamental water features filled with plants and fish. Installation is easier and quicker than with old-style concrete pond linings.

Harvesting rainwater is a growing interest for households and agricultural businesses. FSA offers a host of pillow tanks, onion tanks and other containers in various shapes and sizes, allowing farmers and homeowners to take advantage of this abundant resource.
