Storage products are widely used in various fields today, and their use in emergency situations has become more prevalent. Underground water tank varieties are used for various purposes, especially in matters such as firefighting. Storage products positioned underground are used not only for fire but for various purposes. While they are generally used to keep contents safe, they also provide a suitable solution for emergencies. To protect against fire and other emergencies, the following measures can be taken:
1) Preventing the spread of fire
Fire tubes can be placed inside and outside some tanks. These tubes can be used to extinguish a fire with water in case it occurs. Additionally, preventing the spread of fire will be the first choice. Because storage products are generally kept for initial intervention rather than for the fire extinguishing process. Initial intervention usually helps prevent fires. However, if a fire cannot be stopped through initial intervention, it will allow the firefighting teams to arrive at the scene before the fire spreads too much.
2) Alarm systems
Alarm systems make the use of tanks much more effective. An alarm system connected to the tank will initiate the first intervention in case of a fire. This allows the early detection of emergencies through the operation of the alarm when a fire breaks out. Since firefighting systems are connected to tanks, a much more effective intervention will take place. These systems can automatically operate in case of a fire, assisting in extinguishing the fire.
Which tanks should be used in emergencies?
Storage products can be produced with various raw materials. Among these raw materials, polyethylene, polyester, and stainless steel are the most effective. Tanks produced using polyethylene raw material are a suitable option for preserving products due to its airtight and watertight nature. Being a polymer, polyethylene is very durable and resistant to wear, making tanks produced with it long-lasting. Additionally, it is a lightweight material, making tanks made of polyethylene easy to transport. It is, in fact, the lightest among other storage products.
Another material is polyester, which is obtained by combining glass fiber and polyester resin. Storage products made with this material have high chemical resistance. Among water tank models, those produced using polyester are the most suitable for industrial use. Polyester is a wear-resistant material and can be used as wear-resistant tanks. Like polyethylene, polyester is lighter than other materials, making it easy to transport. Polyester is a long-lasting material, and tanks produced with it can have a long lifespan.
Lastly, stainless steel is used as a raw material in the production of storage products. Stainless steel is a very durable and wear-resistant material. Tanks produced with stainless steel can be long-lasting. Tanks made of stainless steel are considered the most durable storage products. Stainless steel is resistant to corrosion, making it suitable for use as corrosion-resistant tanks. It is also thermally conductive, allowing it to be used as a thermally conductive tank. Moreover, it has the highest operating temperature ratio among storage products, reaching up to 80 degrees. Tanks produced with stainless steel, due to their durability, are considered long-lasting products. Both stainless steel and polyester storage products can be produced on-site. Polyethylene tanks are produced in series.
