What is VLAREM?
VLAREM is short for Vlaams Reglement betreffende de Milieuvergunning, the Flemish regulations on environmental permits. Among other things, these regulations stipulate how companies must safely store liquids and hazardous substances.
For storage tanks, this often means requirements with regard to:
Why is VLAREM important for companies?
Non-compliant storage can lead to safety risks, environmental damage or observations recorded during inspections. For these reasons, many companies opt for a temporary tank solution that immediately satisfies the required norms.
Furthermore, VLAREM-compliant storage is often important for insurance and environmental permit purposes. It not only reduce risks in inspections, but also avoids potential problems in cases of damage or permit applications.

FAQ
No, VLAREM applies only in Flanders. Different regional regulations apply in Wallonia and Brussels. However, a VLAREM-compliant tank solution often provides a good foundation for meeting the applicable safety and environmental requirements in those regions as well.
That depends on the product being stored and its intended use. In many situations, double-walled tanks are required or strongly recommended to prevent leaks and environmental damage.
Yes, depending on availability and location, we can often act quickly and deliver on short notice.
Our tanks are used for a variety of applications, including chemicals, process fluids, wastewater, deionized water, and temporary buffering. We always assess which tank is best suited for your application.
Yes, we not only handle the delivery of the tank, but also advise you on its installation, connection, and safe commissioning on site.
Yes, that is permitted, provided that the tank and the installation meet the applicable VLAREM requirements (such as containment, inspection, and proper installation).
The tank must be constructed in accordance with the applicable code of good practice and must have a valid certificate of conformity or declaration of conformity. After installation, a commissioning inspection is required.
No distinction is made here based on time. In principle, therefore, there is no difference between a mobile and a stationary setup. If a container is to be filled and emptied at the same location, it must comply with VLAREM regulations.
The VLAREM regulations apply specifically to Flanders. However, the rules and practices are based on European standards, so there is significant overlap. Liqson also offers compliant solutions for other countries.
