A view of a pumping unit (pomperie) http://www.aria.developpement-durable.gouv.fr/ressources/fd_...

The pumping unit is found in some sort of enclosure (retention). That's the normal way of storing hudrocarbons. A hydrocarbon tank is supposed to be be placed in such a retention so as to contain any spills or leakages. The same is true for transporting and storing drums or gallons containing hydrocarbons. The are to be placed on a mobile retention during transport.

Fire may eventually breakout in the retention in case of leakage. We will then talk of fire in the retention or retention fire.

Agree, this would really be difficult to fathom without more context.

Context There are a number of things this might mean and more context is required to know which it is.

I think Feu de rétention has something to do with Feu au centre de rétention or something in that light

Or better still, FEU DANS LA RETENTION

DDO and HVO are fuels, so leakage may lead to fire outbreak at the retention.

neutral Alison Sparks (X) : don't think so. Did you Google or Linguee it? More context would be helpful anyway!

I googled and lingueed to noavail. I am however quite sure of the answer based on my knowledge on the storage of hydrocarbons. Retentions are used to prevent spilled hydrocarbons from contaminating the environment. A spill can eventually cause fire
Something went wrong...
