Demand for frac tanks is growing and we believe that a major reason for the increase is the service that comes along with a frac tank rental from Bodine.
Frac Tanks provide temporary storage of thousands of gallons of liquid material. At Bodine Environmental Services (BES), we can help you with storage and transportation of liquid waste.
Secondary spill containment berms add an extra measure of safety against spills. |

Bodine is unique and separates themselves from many other tank rental companies by providing more of a turn-key approach to meeting the client’s overall needs. For example, a client needed to rent a frac tank to store temporarily the contents of a permanent storage tank while it was cleaned and inspected. The various steps in the process included:
- Mobilization of a frac tank to the client’s facility
- Pumping the contents of the permanent tank into the temporary storage tank (equipped with portable spill containment berms)
- Confined space entry into the tank by a competent crew for the purpose of cleaning the tank
- Profiling, transportation and disposal of the residual product and wash waters
- Return of the stored product to the permanent tank after inspection by others
- Decontamination of the frac tank and
- Demobilization from the site.
This multi-step process typically requires the use of multiple contractors and coordination of schedules and activities. All of this demands management time on the part of the client. The likelihood of a problem goes up proportionately with the number of separate vendors involved. In the above real scenario, Bodine handled each step in the process. Once the call came in and the client approved the scope of work and proposal, Bodine did everything necessary to prepare for the inspection and everything required once the inspection process was completed.
