INNOVATIVE INSTALLATIONS:Creating a Smaller Carbon Footprint
The Earth sustains life. We want to protect it.
We want to protect itfrom oil pollution.
SPCC 40 CFR 112 mandates the prevention of oil spills from polluting navigable waters
of most SPCC-compliantsecondary containment solutions
consume a LOT of energy & leave a large
CARBON FOOTPRINT
Problem 1: The MANUFACTURING, TRANSPORTATION & INSTALLATION
Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions resulting from construction materials, construction activities, lifespan
operation and eventual demolition
Carbon Footprint? What’s that?
From SKANSKA Case Study 76: “Carbon Footprinting in Construction – examples from Finland, Norway, Sweden, UK and US” (November 2010)
[http://skanska-sustainability-case-studies.com/pdfs/76/76_Carbon_Footprinting_v001.pdf]
for full containment of largest oil-filled vessel and to contain precipitation from a 25-year,
24-hour storm event
Problem 2: NO SPACE FOR “SUFFICIENT FREEBOARD”
SOLUTION: CORRUGATED HDPE PIPES
- Reduce the carbon footprint- Take up less space while increasing
capacity

NOTE: Corrugated HDPE pipes increase the volume of oil capacity exponentially!
HOW? LET’S DO THE MATH
LET’S DO THE MATH
Calculating containment capacity for C.I.Agent Polyvinyl Liner or Barrier Boom System:
1 cubic foot = 7.5 gallons of capacity
1 cubic foot of stone = 3 gallons of capacity at 40% void
LET’S DO THE MATH
Calculating containment capacity for C.I.Agent Polyvinyl Liner or Barrier Boom System using corrugated HDPE pipes
TOTAL CONTAINMENT VOID SPACE!!
A= p x r2
Diameter of pipe (area of circle) length of pipe
gallons/liters (volume) oil
LET’S DO THE MATHExample: 138/69kV
(THAT’S 48% SMALLER!!)
STONE BACK FILLContainment Dimensions:
31’ x 47’ x 42”
Pad Dimensions:12’ x 22’
Gross Cubic Feet = 4,176
STONE & HDPE PIPE BACK FILLContainment Dimensions:
26’ x 48’ x 24”
Pad Dimensions:9’ x 18’
Gross Cubic Feet = 2,172

WANT MORE INFO ABOUT OUR INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS?
C.I.Agent Solutions® is a global leader in solutions for SPCC secondary containment compliance, vault and manhole
maintenance, and hydrocarbon filtering needs. Our secondary containment systems, the Barrier Boom and Polyvinyl Liner
System, utilizes our C.I.Agent® polymers which solidifies oil into a recyclable rubber-like mass on contact and then acts as a barrier
to prevent oil from leaving the containment area.
