Abstract

Procédé de fabrication d'un réservoir de stockage à double paroi (10) consistant à appliquer un agent de séparation perméable au gaz (19) à un réservoir de stockage (10), à appliquer une couche de matériau de renforcement fibreux sur l'agent de séparation (19) et à appliquer ensuite une double paroi résineuse (17). La double paroi qui en résulte (17), couvrant au moins 40% de la surface du réservoir de stockage (10) a une structure indépendante du dit réservoir. La double paroi (17) forme ainsi un compartiment secondaire de contenance réelle. Un système de réservoir de stockage à compartiment de contenance dont l'étanchéité n'est pas totale est obtenu par l'utilisation d'un dispositif de détection de fuite (27) destiné à régler l'espace fermé situé entre le réservoir de stockage (10) et la double paroi (17), afin de contrôler la fuite du réservoir ou de la double paroi.
