Description:
Liquid product monitoring is the predominant method of external leak detection where the water table is within the zone of excavation. his paper discusses the use of liquid product monitors at new and old tank installations for detecting leaks from underground hydrocarbon storage tanks. his paper discusses the site conditions under which liquid product monitors can be effectively used, conditions which may mitigate or prevent the effective use of liquid product monitors, and the construction and placement of liquid product monitoring wells. iquid product monitors are not used to determine the rate of tank leak. he rate of tank lead can be determined by other methods such as inventory or internal monitoring methods. ffective use of liquid product monitors or any other method of leak detection requires training and experience on the part of the user.
