The number of things we take for granted in our homes is considerable, but nothing compares to the fuel oil storage tank that heats your home. There are about 10 million of these containment tanks in use throughout the northeastern United States. Most are between 25 and 40 years of age and each tank, with walls about as thick as a nickel, is expected to provide its service forever.

Until recently, it's been common practice to replace a tank only after it fails. While this may seem reasonable for a light bulb, it's unwise when the result can be an expensive environmental mess and especially when it could have easily been prevented.

As part of our commitment to providing comprehensive energy solutions services, Platinum Energy Group also offers digital ultrasonic oil tank testing. Our safe and non-invasive ultrasound technology measures your oil tank's internal corrosion to determine its remaining wall thickness. The instrument is specifically calibrated for the material thickness of above-ground residential steel tanks. If the wall of a tank's thickness falls below the new industry standard, our specific measurement tracking software will flag the tank for replacement. This predictability of failure enables the petroleum industry to offer homeowners environmentally friendly, proactive tank replacement.

This U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approved technology is widely used in industrial applications throughout the world. It can now be successfully applied to the testing of above-ground home heating, fuel oil storage tanks. All testing is performed by one certified technician that has over 15 years' experience on testing tanks of all sizes and containing many different petroleum products.
