Regulations

Stainless steel tanks compliant with WHG standards

Maximum focus on environmental safety and regulatory compliance

Overview of WHG standards

The WHG standards (Wasserhaushaltsgesetz), established by German federal legislation on the protection of water resources, represent an essential reference for the construction of tanks intended for the storage of hazardous substances. Steeltech of Corato, thanks to its experience and technical expertise, is able to design and manufacture stainless steel tanks fully compliant with WHG requirements, ensuring maximum protection of water resources and the environment.

What does it mean to build according to WHG standards

To ensure full compliance with WHG requirements, Steeltech integrates into its tanks: – High-quality materials: use of stainless steels resistant to corrosion. – Overfill protection systems: devices that prevent the maximum level from being exceeded. – Leak prevention: double-wall configurations and advanced sealing systems. – Detection systems: active monitoring devices for leak detection. – Structural robustness: resistance to impacts, stresses and thermal variations. – Testing and inspection plans: tests on pressure, tightness and material integrity. – Periodic checks: five-year inspections by notified bodies. – Document traceability: complete technical documentation for each phase.
