2000 Gallon 30 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank in White

The 2000 Gallon 30 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Tank in White (SKU SII-5070000N43) is a Snyder Industries polyethylene cone bottom tank built for full-drain processing where you need the entire contents to discharge through the bottom apex.It holds 2,000 gallons, stands 101.75 inches tall, and carries a 1.5 specific gravity rating - the spec that governs which chemicals it can safely hold.The 30-degree cone keeps solids and sediment moving toward the outlet, which is why this size and angle is a workhorse for batch mixing, settling, and chemical dosing.

Will it work for your job?

A cone bottom tank discharges through its bottom apex, so it cannot stand on its own base - it requires a support stand (quoted separately).Plan for the 90 x 90 inch tank-and-stand envelope plus the 101.75 inch height clearing your structure; this is the most common surprise on a cone tank, so confirm your space before you order.Sizing then comes down to weight, not just gallons.Filled with water this tank carries 16,680 lb; at its maximum rated 1.5 specific gravity it carries up to 25,020 lb of contents.Your stand and floor must be engineered for the rated load you actually plan to run, not the water number.Fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page include a flange, an 18-inch polyethylene threaded and vented lid, and a manway with 15-inch access - that manway supports cleanout, inspection, and agitator or mixer mounting, which matters for the batch-mixing and settling duty this cone is built for.Confirm your inlet, outlet, and vent layout against the technical drawing before you order.If you are still narrowing size, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through capacity and weight together.

Chemical compatibility

This is a polyethylene tank with a 1.5 specific gravity rating.The resin designation is not yet confirmed here - verify the polyethylene type (linear versus cross-linked) with us before putting any chemical into service, because cross-linked and linear polyethylene resist different chemistries.At the 1.5 SG rating, the following are listed as compatible in our chemical compatibility database (always confirm at your exact concentration and service temperature): Acetic Acid at 60% (PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM), DEF at 32.5% (316SS, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate at 20% (PVC, EPDM), Magnesium Chloride at 30% (PVC, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate at 30% (PVC, EPDM), Urea Solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM), and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM).Match the fitting and gasket material to the chemical, not just the tank.For DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) at 32.5%, use 316 stainless fittings with EPDM gaskets - note the stainless requirement, as PVC is not specified for DEF here.

Chemicals that need a higher-SG tank

Several common process chemicals exceed this tank's 1.5 SG rating and require a 1.9 specific gravity tank instead - do not run them in this 1.5 SG model: Ethylene Glycol, Ferric Chloride, Ferric Sulfate, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Hydrofluosilicic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Peracetic Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Polyaluminum Chloride, Potassium Carbonate, Potassium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Hypochlorite (bleach), Sodium Thiosulfate, Sulfuric Acid, and Zinc Orthophosphate.Many of these also require Viton or Aflas gaskets rather than EPDM.The single most expensive mistake on a cone-bottom chemical tank is matching the chemical to the gallons but ignoring the specific gravity - storing a 1.5 SG fluid in a 1.5 SG tank overloads the wall.If your chemistry is on this list (for example sulfuric acid, sodium hypochlorite/bleach, or ferric chloride), you need a 1.9 specific gravity cone-bottom tank instead of this model - call 866-418-1777 and we will match you to the correct SG rating before you buy.Check the full Chemical Compatibility Database at your concentration first.
