Asahi/America, Inc., a leading manufacturer of engineered, thermoplastic fluid handling systems, offers its Poly-Flo® Piping System as a low cost solution to compliance with EPA regulations. Since 1984, the EPA has developed a stringent regulatory program for UST’s (underground storage tanks) storing petroleum or other hazardous materials. Owners and end users have been forced to find a viable way to comply with regulations. Ongoing inspections continue to uncover health and environmental violations, which result in penalties and shutdowns. Despite the December 22, 1998 compliance, many have not updated their systems. One of the main reasons that end users have failed to do so is cost.
Polypropylene (PP) piping systems are often marketed as an economical alternative to constructions of stainless steel or other metallics. At Asahi/America, PP and polyethylene (HDPE) are standard materials of construction for its Poly-Flo® Piping System. This dual-contained piping system is offered in a variety of materials, including PVDF, BPP, and HDPE. Featuring unitary construction, Poly-Flo® is marketed as a low-cost system for carrier pipe in diameter sizes of 6" or less. This unique system withstands pressures to 100 psi in carrier and containment applications. Double O-ring flanges, which maintain secondary containment, allow Poly-Flo® systems to be pre-assembled and then bolted into place in the field just like a single wall pipe. This low profile, compact system composed of high-impact, corrosion-resistant materials is easily installed into existing pipe racks. The Poly-Flo® Dual-Containment Piping System – which includes design review, engineering calculations, leak detection, installation, and installation certifications – is a cost-effective, yet sophisticated system that complies with the EPA’s regulations.
