At Diesel Tank Testing Australia (DTTA) we offer a number of testing options for your safety, compliance and convenience.
Testing of the tank integrity will indicate whether the tanks require cleaning, repairs or further treatment. Upon testing your diesel tanks we provide you with a certificate of tank integrity that you can then use for insurance purposes and for peace of mind.
Please refer to the topic that is most suits your needs.
This tank is not visible to the naked eye; they are located underground usually beneath a car park basement. As these tanks are not visible they are easily suppressed.
The ramifications of not servicing/maintaining these kinds of tanks can be both environmentally and mortally damaging. Issues only become evident apparent once integrity tests have been performed. These tests can detect any leaks, rusting, corrosion or issues with the integrity of the tank or its context.
This tank is located above ground within the confines of a bund.
A visible inspection of the tank exterior will clearly display signs of weathering or leaking.
Day tanks, also known as Auxiliary tanks, are a secondary fuel tank located between the main fuel tanks and the pump/generators.
It is essential that day tanks are well maintained and regularly serviced as they are a key component in the successful functioning of the diesel generator system.
Upon any tank integrity test a fuel sample will be taken for testing.
A simple scheduled 3 test will show water, fungal and bacterial contamination, moisture content and clarity. A comprehensive scheduled 3 can confirm the complete quality of the diesel. This will then indicate if it requires further attention.
Pipeworkâs are the pipes that run the diesel from the main tanks, to the day tank and into the generator. They are also the ventilation pipes and disposal pipes.
It is essential that integrity tests are performed on pipework to check for any leakage, blockages and rust corrosion.
Transfer systems are unique to each facility installation and are the main issues of diesel generator failure. This is mainly due to mismanagement and poor maintenance causing system failure due to no provision of back-up fuel to the generating facility.
