A Design Option We Would Like To Share
SSCI incorporates an Axillary AST and redesign of generator belly-tanks to increase emergency power run-time from 21 hours to 165 hours – 6.9 days.
Key Achievements:
The first step: Increase backup fuel capacity from 21 to 37 hours at 50% load by doubling the existing generator belly-tank capacity.
The second step: Implemented a strategic and flexible fuel storage design by incorporating a new 5,000-gallon AST, automatic refill systems, and emergency backup power connections extending generator run-time to an impressive 165 hours (6.9 days) at 50% load.
Detailed Scope:
1. Needs analysis, full PE-sealed engineering drawings, permit preparation, and regulatory document submissions.
2. Design and installation of a six-inch reinforced concrete pad and retaining wall, increasing storm resilience.
3. Installation of a remote fill-box with pump, overfill valves, and fuel level sensors, improving serviceability.
4. System Installation and Start-Up, including regulatory inspections and approvals; preparation and filing of regulatory paperwork upon completion, training sessions and a comprehensive operations manual for our client.
This successful project reflects our commitment to delivering top-tier solutions and optimizing operational resilience for our clients.
Compliance Tip Reminder
SPCCs: One of EPA's top 5 areas of citation!
Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) plans have been required by EPA for over 40 years, but the lack of a proper SPCC remains one of the top environmental citations. The plan must be written kept on-site at all times, signed by a licensed professional engineer (quantity based), and re-evaluated every 5 years!
