Waste Containment Systems
Roben, Mfg, Inc. designs and fabricates waste containment systems engineered for safe collection, storage, treatment, and handling of hazardous and non-hazardous waste streams. Our waste containment vessels meet EPA RCRA requirements, state environmental regulations, and facility-specific permit conditions with designs featuring secondary containment, leak detection, and materials compatible with diverse waste characteristics.
What Are Waste Containment Systems?
A waste containment system is a vessel or tank system designed to safely accumulate, store, or treat waste materials prior to disposal, recycling, or further processing. These systems address the specific challenges of waste containment including unknown or variable composition, corrosive constituents, mixed hazard classes, and long-term storage requirements. Designs incorporate secondary containment, monitoring provisions, and features facilitating proper waste characterization, treatment, and ultimate disposition.

Frequently Asked Questions About Waste Containment Systems
What EPA requirements apply to hazardous waste containment systems?
Roben Mfg designs waste containment systems meeting 40 CFR 264/265 requirements including secondary containment capacity equal to 100% of largest tank or 10% of total volume, leak detection with 24-hour response capability, compatible construction materials, and assessment procedures for integrity verification.
How are waste containment systems designed for unknown or variable waste compositions?
We specify materials providing broad chemical resistance such as high-quality stainless steels or specialized alloys, with protective linings available for severe service. Designs incorporate sampling provisions for waste characterization, segregation capability for incompatible wastes, and flexibility for changing waste streams.
What treatment capabilities can be integrated into waste containment systems?
Our waste containment systems can incorporate neutralization and pH adjustment, oxidation/reduction treatment, precipitation and flocculation, oil/water separation, filtration, and other treatment processes. Integrated treatment reduces disposal volumes and costs while potentially enabling waste recycling or reclassification.
