TPU Diesel Bladder Tank for Mining Camps

A TPU diesel bladder tank is a collapsible fuel store for mining camps — a 5,000–50,000 L polyester TPU pillow tank that holds diesel and engine oil at remote mine sites, where a rigid fuel tank is too slow to install.

Recommended capacities

Capacities that suit mining camps best

Setting up at a remote mine

A diesel tank that fills on site, where the mine is

A diesel bladder arrives folded, is laid on level ground prepared with a sand bed or ground sheet, and filled on site. No concrete base is needed. A second containment bund is recommended around the tank, and local regulations for fuel storage must be checked before the tank is sited.

Level ground

Flat, firm ground, cleared of sharp stones, with a sand bed or ground sheet under the tank.

Secondary containment

A bund or secondary containment around the tank is recommended.

Check local regulations

Check the local rules for fuel storage before siting the tank.
