Ensuring Compliance: FDEP Mandate and Advanced Solutions for Hospital Fuel Systems

Updated: Mar 18

In the ever-evolving landscape of regulations, hospitals face a new imperative from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The focus is on underground fuel tanks and pressurized pipes, a critical aspect often overlooked due to the potential risks associated with generator failures.


The Challenge: Traditional Leak Detection

Many hospitals have either removed traditional mechanical line leak detectors or never installed them, primarily to mitigate the risks linked to generator failures resulting from fuel restrictions. The need for a more sophisticated solution has become evident as regulatory bodies seek to enhance safety measures in critical infrastructures.


FDEP Mandate: A Shift Towards Electronic Leak Detection

In response to this concern, the FDEP has mandated hospitals, especially those categorized under critical infrastructure, to adopt electronic line leak detectors. These detectors must possess the capability to alert operators 24/7, ensuring swift response and mitigation of potential hazards.
