Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) are commonly identified with industrial processes. When people mention USTs they usually associate them with service stations. Everyone who owns a car, motorbike or truck that is powered by a combustion engine visits a service station at least once a week to fill up on petrol or diesel that is stored within a UST.
USTs are however far more widespread than you may have initially imagined. USTs may be found at telecommunication towers, universities, hospitals, transport depots, railways, residential houses and schools to name a few locations. The following pie chart reflects the breakdown of UST ownership by category.
As you can imagine, with so many differnt owners of USTs there are also many different industrial processes that they are used in. As such, USTs contain many different hydrocarbon fuel variants including (but not limited to) the following:
* Diesel;
*Petrol;
* Heating oil;
* Waste oil;
* Kerosene; and
* Aviation fuel.
