Choosing the Right Chemical Storage Tank

Choosing the right storage container for chemicals is critically important especially when those chemicals are corrosive or pose safety risks to people or the enviroment if exposed. 

START WITH THE CHEMICAL SOLUTION

The first place to start when deciding on the right storage container is with designating the chemical solution to be contained. If you don’t consider the chemical first when designing a tank, you risk expensive equipment failure, human injury, property damage, and disruptions in production. Equipment failures are costly and potentially dangerous.  

Chemical Tanks are used for storing solutions that are too reactive or too unstable to be safety contained any other way.

From Municipal to Industrial and Commercial, Premier Production Equipment is a national supplier a variety of types of tanks used for chemical storage. We have an impressive track record serving customers in the water and wastewater, automotive, consumer goods, food & beverage, oil and gas, and energy sectors. These companies trust PPE Tanks to consult, design, and deliver the best custom solutions for their projects.

We can help you decide which type of tank is the most suitable for your chemical containment based on numerous factors like safety, durability, budget, and function of tanks in the project. 

There are several types of chemical storage tanks, each designed for specific uses and suitable for certain types of chemicals. The most common types of chemical storage tanks for industrial and commercial use are the following:

Fiberglass Tanks (FRP): These tanks are made of fiberglass reinforced plastic, and are ideal for storing a wide range of chemicals at low to moderate temperatures. They are extremely strong and durable, lightweight and resistant to corrosion. There are a variety of specialty resins available that are ideal for highly-corrosive environments. 

Stainless Steel Tanks: These tanks are made of stainless steel, and are suitable for storing a variety of chemicals at high temperatures. They are resistant to corrosion and are easy to clean.

Steel Tanks: These tanks are made of steel, and are suitable for storing a variety of chemicals at low to moderate temperatures. They are strong and durable, but may be prone to corrosion if not properly coated or treated.

Poly Plastic Tanks: These tanks are made of polyethylene or polypropylene, and are suitable for storing a variety of chemicals at low to moderate temperatures. They are lightweight, easy to install, and resistant to corrosion.

Concrete Tanks: These tanks are made of concrete, and are suitable for storing a variety of chemicals at low to moderate temperatures. They are strong and durable, but may be prone to cracking if not properly constructed. 

It is important to select a chemical storage tank that is suitable for the specific chemical or chemicals being stored, as well as the temperature and pressure conditions of the storage environment.

There are several critical factors to consider when choosing a material to safely and effectively contain chemicals. 

By carefully considering these factors, you can choose a chemical storage tank that meets your specific requirements for safety, reliability, and compliance. Consulting with our experts in chemical storage and tank design can also provide valuable guidance in the selection process.
