ABSTRACT:
A double wall ribbed storage tank system is provided with the capability of independent monitoring of support rib areas and secondary containment areas of the tank system. The storage tank system comprises (a) an inner storage tank for primary containment of stored liquid with a set of support ribs for strengthening purposes, (b) an outer wall over the inner tank for secondary containment of the stored liquid, (c) rib communication means connecting together the support rib areas, (d) wall communication means connecting together secondary containment areas of the inner storage tank and outer wall, and (e) a monitoring station operably associated with the rib and wall communication means. Any structural damage to a support rib, inner storage tank wall or outer wall is detectable and generally located by the monitoring station.
