Austin, TX — Tanknology Inc., the world’s largest provider of environmental compliance testing and inspection services, that the company will honor employees that are veterans of the armed forces with a donation to Folds of Honor, a charity that provides scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service-members.

To show appreciation to armed forces veterans currently working with Tanknology, the company has made available special-issue Tanknology apparel that will display the logo of each individual service tech or inspector’s branch of the military, alongside the Tanknology logo.

Tanknology’s commitment to veterans of the armed forces is longstanding. More than 30 percent of the company’s current employees are veterans, and Tanknology’s field technician training program is recognized by several national and state agencies for its proficiency in developing post-military career skills.

“We truly appreciate our veterans and cannot thank them enough for their service, both to our country and to Tanknology,” said Allen Porter, Tanknology CEO and President.

“Over the years, veterans have proven to be some of our most dedicated and valuable employees and we feel a donation to Folds of Honor is an appropriate and well-deserved step in honoring the armed forces veterans that have served both our nation and our company with the utmost integrity.”

Founded in 2007, Folds of Honor is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service-members.

Austin, TX — Tanknology Inc., the world’s largest provider of environmental compliance testing and inspection services, has announced a partnership with the Diesel Fuel Quality Council, part of the Virginia-based Fuels Institute, to collect diesel samples as part of a nationwide fuel quality study.

Tanknology was chosen to partner with the Fuels Institute for their nationwide reach, highly-trained technician base, and previous field study experience. In 2016, Tanknology worked with Battelle, under the direction of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), to collect fuel samples for a study on Severe Corrosion of Metal Components in Underground Storage Tanks (USTs) Storing Diesel Fuel.

Tanknology’s scope of work for the Fuel Quality study is a customized process that utilizes their existing technician base to extract fuel samples. Tanknology technicians will use ASTM procedures to collect the samples from nearly 200 geographically diverse fueling sites.

Nozzle samples will be tested for non-microbial physical and chemical properties and tank samples will be tested for microbial contamination and water. In-tank samples will be drawn from the tank bottom and the middle of the tank.

The study has two goals: First, to understand the quality of diesel fuel coming out of the nozzle by evaluating fuel properties that affect engine operations; and second, to understand the quality of fuel sitting in storage tanks by evaluating properties that contribute to corrosion and product contamination. Sample collection will begin in April and continue throughout May.

“We are honored to partner with the Fuels Institute on this important effort,” said Allen Porter, Tanknology CEO and President. “Our strengths, and that of the Fuels Institute are highly complementary, and we feel that this study could help the industry better understand the fuel quality issues that are plaguing the industry today.”

“We chose to partner with Tanknology due to their breadth of experience with national sampling studies, the diversity and size of their current customer base, and their reputation for quality and excellence,” said Amanda Appelbaum, Director of Research for the Fuels Institute.

“We are hopeful this project will provide the Council a snapshot of diesel fuel quality in the U.S. such that we may begin to understand exactly what in the fuel may be causing increased engine issues and what (if anything) we are able to do about it.”

I am reaching out today to confirm to you, our valued client, our commitment to the health and safety of our employees and yours, during the ongoing coronavirus situation. While this remains an ongoing development, as an essential service provider, Tanknology will continue to be your compliance and testing expert during this uncertain time.

Like many of you, we are closely monitoring the spread and impact of the coronavirus. This is first and foremost a health crisis, and our thoughts go out to those who have been directly affected by the virus and to the health care workers who are on the front lines in managing it. As a national company operating in all 50 states, we’re taking all necessary measures to protect our customers, employees and business.

We’ve tweaked our logistics, transportation and the way we work. We’re providing a vital service to people everywhere and we understand that people, communities and the environment are depending on us. No matter the need, we are here for you, our valued clients.

There is no instruction manual for how to feel at a time like this, and I know this causes stress for everyone. My list of worries right now — like yours I’m sure — is long: from my children, parents, family, friends, to the safety our colleagues and to the harm that will be caused by the economic fallout.

Please take care of yourselves and your loved ones. I know that we’re going to get through this, together.

Assisting Our Employees

We are in continuous communication with our employees reminding them about the importance of good hygiene, providing them with health education and support whenever needed.
