What Is A Bund?
Bund, Bund Wall, Bunding & Tank Bunds
A bund or bund wall, is a constructed barrier or retaining wall that surrounds storage tanks, vessels, or processing areas, in industrial settings.
It is designed to capture spills or leaks of potentially polluting or hazardous substances, such as oil or chemicals, and contain them for safe recovery and disposal.
Bunds are built to hold a capacity greater than the volume of the primary container, usually up to 110%, to ensure any accidental spills are adequately contained.
Why Does A Bund Need Regular Cleaning & Emptying?
Maintain Bund Effectiveness, Regulatory Compliance & Safety
Regular maintenance, cleaning, and emptying, is vital to ensure bunds effectively serve their purpose of containing spills, protecting the environment, and ensuring safety and compliance.
- Regulatory Compliance: Many regulations mandate that bunds must be properly maintained and kept in a functional state. Regular cleaning and emptying are part of these maintenance practices, ensuring compliance with environmental and safety laws.
- Maintaining Capacity: Bunds are designed to contain spills up to a specific volume, typically 110% of the tank they surround. If the bund becomes partially filled with accumulated substances or rainwater, its capacity to contain spills is reduced. Regular emptying ensures that the bund can hold the required volume in the event of a major spill.
- Preventing Contamination: Over time, bunds can accumulate debris, dirt, and residues from minor spills or leaks. If not cleaned, these contaminants can mix with any future spills, complicating clean up efforts and increasing the risk of environmental contamination.
- Ensuring Structural Integrity: The accumulation of chemicals and waste can lead to corrosion or other damage to the bund's materials, especially if they are not resistant to the stored substances. Regular cleaning helps in inspecting the condition of the bund and addressing any repairs needed to maintain its integrity.
- Health & Safety Concerns: Residues from hazardous materials can pose risks to personnel working around the bund. Cleaning removes these hazards, contributing to a safer work environment.
- Preventing Blockages: In the case of bunds with drainage systems, regular cleaning is essential to prevent blockages that can impede the proper functioning of the bund, especially during an emergency spill event.
