Overview
Flameshield tanks are double wall steel aboveground storage tanks with interstitial monitoring capabilities. Flameshield tanks have been subjected to a 2 hour fire test. Flameshield tanks can be built in horizontal or vertical configurations. These tanks may be built with or without multiple compartments for multiple fuel storage. Flameshield tanks are built to UL-142 specifications and tested per Southwest Research Institute SwRI 97-04 requirements. Flameshield tanks are also built in accordance with the Steel Tank Institute's F-001-01 standard.
Modern is the only manufacturer in the world licensed to build a rectangular Flameshield tank with a height greater than 103 inches up to 168 inches and infinite length.
