Poly Processing Storage Tanks

Poly Processing tanks store compatible industrial chemicals in water treatment, manufacturing, and other process applications. Selection includes the chemical, storage conditions, capacity, and complete containment arrangement.

The range includes vertical, horizontal, cone-bottom, double-wall, and secondary-containment options. Available accessories and configurations should be reviewed against the chemical and installation requirements.

Cross-linking joins polymer chains into a network that changes the material's properties. For chemical storage, use the manufacturer's resin and tank recommendations for the specific application.

SAFE-Tank is Poly Processing's double-wall tank system, combining primary storage with surrounding containment. Confirm capacity, monitoring, fittings, and installation requirements for the selected model.

Secondary containment provides a place for escaped liquid if primary storage leaks. Its design must account for the chemical, stored volume, site arrangement, and applicable project requirements.

Consider delivery size, normal consumption, reserve needs, and operating levels. Leave the manufacturer's required free space and account for minimum usable volume and any mixing or temperature effects.

Different concentrations can change compatibility, density, and vapor behavior. Specify the actual concentration and expected variations rather than requesting a tank based only on the chemical's name.

Denser liquids place greater loads on the tank wall and base. The tank's rating must suit the liquid at the operating temperature, not merely the nominal storage volume.

No. Tank resin, fittings, gaskets, and accessories must all be compatible. Review any intended chemical change before reusing a tank for a different product.

Poly Processing's Integrally Molded Flanged Outlet is an outlet design incorporated into selected tanks. Review the chosen configuration for drainage, piping connection, and support requirements.

Filling and emptying displace gas, while some chemicals release vapors. Venting must address the actual rates and chemistry; an atmospheric tank should not be treated as a pressure vessel.

Outdoor suitability depends on the selected tank, chemical, temperature, and site conditions. Evaluate sun exposure, wind, freezing, foundation support, and any required restraint or protection.

Use a foundation and support arrangement meeting the manufacturer's requirements for that tank geometry. Uneven support or concentrated loads can compromise the installation despite correct chemical compatibility.

Piping must accommodate tank movement and avoid imposing excessive loads on fittings. Follow manufacturer guidance for independent supports and flexible connections appropriate to the chemical and installation.

Inspect tank surfaces, fittings, supports, containment, and monitoring devices according to the manufacturer's guidance. Track changes in condition and service history rather than assuming a fixed lifetime for every application.
