One of the most popular set of groups which uses Surge Busters are in city and county organizations:
Organizations such as Parks Departments, Road Departments, Irrigation Districts, and Department of Transportations (DOTs) are increasingly using Surge Busters to protect their poly and/or steel liquid cargo tanks.
The US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has been testing the effectiveness of these products in various settings to ensure that they provide the necessary protection against surges and other issues which can damage or destroy these tanks. By using Surge Busters, organizations can rest assured that their liquid cargo tanks will remain safe from potential harm due to unexpected surges or other factors.
Much of the time they are doing activities like roadside spraying, dust abatement, anti-icing, landscape watering, and fuel hauling. As you can imagine, each of these activities involves at some point during the operation driving around partially filled liquid loads.
Unfortunately, there have been numerous accidents and deaths resulting from loadshift of unstable liquid cargo.
According to statistics from the U.S. Department of Transportation, liquid surge due to sudden, unexpected load shifts are a leading cause of tanker truck accidents. In 2019 alone, roughly 1 in 4 fatal accidents involving tanker trucks were caused by liquid surge. Additionally, these types of accidents result in an average of 16 deaths and 110 injuries each year in the United States. In order to reduce the risk of truck accidents related to liquid surge, drivers must properly secure their cargo and ensure their loads are not overloaded.
Because of this, the USDA conducted testing on Surge Busters, as they provide the only surge mitigation solution possible within poly tanks (and are superior to welded baffles in steel tanks).
The USDA issued a memo regarding this testing, which you can read about here: https://www.liquidsurgecontrol.com/files/usda_testing.pdf
