Steel tanks have been used for underground storage of petroleum products and derivatives for about 30 years. The oldest tanks have now exceeded their design life and product leaks related to corrosion problems are increasing. The length of the tank's life is one of several factors which could result in a petroleum product leak, which can contaminate soil and water in the immediate surroundings. This report summarizes the different recovery and treatment techniques applicable to hydrocarbon contaminated soil and water due to tank leaks. Detection and prevention are briefly discussed and some examples of available equipment are given.
