It chronicles the trends toward secondary containment, aboveground storage tanks, and corrosion-resistant underground steel storage systems. Written by over 20 leading experts in industry, this handbook discusses relevant fire safety and building codes, construction specifications, and environmental regulations, making it a valuable asset for chemical, pollution, environmental, industrial, mechanical, and civil engineers, to name only a few.

Underground thermal energy storage (UTES) provide us with a flexible tool to combat global warming through conserving energy while utilizing natural renewable energy resources. Primarily, they act as a buffer to balance fluctuations in supply and demand of low temperature thermal energy. Underground Thermal Energy Storage provides an comprehensive introduction to the extensively-used energy storage method. Underground Thermal Energy Storage gives a general overview of UTES from basic concepts and classifications to operation regimes. As well as discussing general procedures for design and construction, thermo-hydro geological modeling of UTES systems is explained. Finally, current real life data and statistics are include to summarize major global developments in UTES over the past decades. The concise style and thorough coverage makes Underground Thermal Energy Storage a solid introduction for students, engineers and geologists alike.

Growing demands for water in many parts of the nation are fueling the search for new approaches to sustainable water management, including how best to store water. Society has historically relied on dams and reservoirs, but problems such as high evaporation rates and a lack of suitable land for dam construction are driving interest in the prospect of storing water underground. Managed underground storage should be considered a valuable tool in a water manager's portfolio, although it poses its own unique challenges that need to be addressed through research and regulatory measures.

Ein praktischer Leitfaden zu technischen und gesetzlichen Aspekten von Installation, Wartung, Stillegung und Abbau von unterirdischen Flüssigkeitstanks (beispielsweise von Tankstellen). Der Autor schöpft aus seiner jahrelangen Erfahrung als Kursleiter und erklärt jedes Detail in gut verständlicher Form - auch für Manager und Bediener, die nur wenig technische Erfahrung mitbringen.
