Install / Failure Note

SAFE-Tank's double-wall design is specifically built for chemicals like sulfuric acid that react dangerously — exothermically — with water, which means the secondary containment basin needs to stay dry in service; introducing water to a contained acid spill is itself a hazard, not just a containment nicety.

Single-wall tanks put the entire burden of containing a sulfuric acid spill on a separate concrete berm; SAFE-Tank's 110% secondary containment is molded into the tank system itself and is explicitly engineered for chemicals — like sulfuric acid — that react dangerously with water. Liberty CES defaults to dual containment on chemistries with a documented water-reactivity hazard, not just where a customer happens to request it.
