Compliance with EN 13341: How Kingspan Titan oil tanks meet and exceed Industry Standards

Kingspan Titan tanks meet EN 13341 standards for polyethylene fuel storage, which require detailed production controls, including:

• Material Testing: Verifies durability and consistency in raw materials.
• Melt Flow Rate: Confirms material uniformity, essential for reliable tank performance.
• Weight, Visual Appearance, and Wall Thickness: Every tank’s weight, appearance, and wall thickness are closely monitored to ensure consistent quality.
• Leak Tightness: Ensures tanks maintain their structure and remain leakproof under pressure.

This rigorous control and testing make Kingspan tanks a trusted choice for professionals, meeting the demanding standards required in commercial and residential environments.

Bunded Tank Requirements in the UK and Ireland

Pollution control regulations across the UK and Ireland are designed to protect natural resources from oil spills by ensuring effective containment in the unlikely event of leaks or accidental overfills. To achieve this, a tank bund must hold at least 110% of the tank’s capacity, providing robust protection against environmental contamination, especially in sensitive areas or near water sources. Compliance with bunded tank regulations is crucial for protecting natural resources from oil spills. Here’s an overview of the specific requirements in each region:

• Northern Ireland: Under the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2010, bunding is mandatory for domestic tanks above 200 litres and all commercial tanks in high-risk locations, such as near waterways.
• Wales: The Water Resources (Control of Pollution) (Oil Storage) (Wales) Regulations 2016 apply to oil tanks over 200 litres and set specific bunding standards to protect water resources.
• England: According to the Control of Pollution (Oil Storage) (England) Regulations 2001, bunded tanks are required for commercial storage over 200 litres and domestic tanks above 2,500 litres, as well as for installations near watercourses, wells, or boreholes.
• Ireland: While bunding standards in Ireland vary by county, EPA guidelines recommend bunded tanks for larger commercial installations or areas near water supplies.

By meeting or exceeding these requirements, Kingspan Titan tanks offer customers reliable protection and compliance with regional standards, supporting best practices in environmentally responsible fuel storage.
