ABSTRACT:
A double containment and leak detection apparatus and method including a tank having a bottom and a surrounding shell, with a containment baffle above the bottom and a leak detector in a containment space between the containment baffle and the tank bottom. The containment baffle includes a baffle plate sealingly joined to the interior of the shell to form a sealed containment space between the containment baffle and the bottom. The leak detector is installed in the containment space to detect the presence of stored material held in the tank in the event such material leaks into the containment space. The leak detection means is connected, through a leak-proof access, to means external to the tank for responding to such leaks of stored material so detected inside the containment space. The invention further includes a primary containment, made of liner material, located inside the tank above the containment baffle and within the shell, capable of containing such stored material. A suitable flushing mechanism is provided so as to remove any leaked fluids from the containment space.
