To the newsgroup:
Has anyone come across this before? At the local refinery where I do some
work for they have storage tanks with containment walls just in case there
is a leak out of the tank. They could be concrete or mounds of dirt and
stone. These were installed long ago. In some cases they have conduits going
through the sides of the containment walls for electrical power or
instrument signals.They have seals on the conduits for going from one area
classification to another area classification to meet the explosion proof
requirements. Is there anything out there that could prevent liquid seeping
through the conduits going through the containment walls in case of a tank
leak? Would the explosion seals be suffient? Any feedback would be greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Dave
