2000 Gallon Plastic Vertical Liquid Storage Tank

The same Arkansas plant, the same lane, and a sheet that publishes its limits

Marked Tree is the whole freight story on this tank and it is a good one for anyone east of the Ozarks and north of the Gulf. The plant sits in the Arkansas Delta, which puts Memphis, the Missouri Bootheel, west Tennessee and north Mississippi on a short oversize run, and the run is what you pay for: at 90 inches across the tank is wider than ordinary freight allows, so it moves as a permitted load with a route, a stop and a lift arranged around it rather than as a rate off a table. Everything after that is the pad. A rotationally molded floor bears on the whole surface it touches, so the 31692 pounds the sheet allows arrive on a 90 inch circle and are carried by whatever is under that floor, hollows and low corners included. Engineer the slab to the framework in the concrete pad sizing guide, poured level, in full contact and wider than the tank, and take the overflow away from the pad edge. Band the shell while it is empty at 475 pounds, because that is the window when weather moves tanks. What the published limit buys you is the ability to write the number down: where a specification, an insurer or a plant standard demands a stated service temperature, this is the sheet that gives one, and 120 F / 48 C is the figure it gives. It is a ceiling, not a target, and a liquid that arrives warm should be given headspace to expand into rather than filled to the rim. Size the volume against the duty in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the thermal freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

Two listed weights in the 90 inch shell, and the slim 1900 beside it

Four part numbers share this silhouette and the sheet gives two empty weights for it, 475 pounds for this tank and 340 pounds for the three 5050000 moldings, which is what it says and what we print. Against those three, the case for this one is the paperwork: a service limit and a warranty term the sheet actually publishes, in a white wall. Two of the three are black walls and belong on a liquid that daylight spoils. Outside the shell the choice is geometry rather than grade. 1780200N40 is the crosslinked tank that holds 1900 gallons on a 72 inch base and stands 119 inches, which is the buy where floor is scarce and the roof is high; 5090000C26 keeps this 90 inch base and adds 500 gallons by standing 107 inches, which is the buy when the pad is already poured and the ceiling allows another foot and a half. Take this one when the base has to stay at 90 inches, the height has to stay under seven and a half feet, and somebody needs the limits in writing.

Seven feet four inches to the lid, and what that changes about the fill

• Access: an 18 inch threaded vented manway 88 inches up. Seven feet four inches is a step or a short platform rather than a climb, and it means a delivery hose can be lifted to the rim by hand if it has to be, which is exactly the habit worth breaking. Bring the fill down inside the tank on a dip tube to the floor so a delivery does not free fall onto the liquid, aerating it and throwing whatever is on the wall back into the load.
• Vent discipline: keep the vent clear at all times and size it for the pump that fills the tank rather than for the one that empties it, because inbreathing and outbreathing are different numbers. The atmospheric vent capacity guide shows the worked cases for a vertical this size. A blocked vent and a running pump will pull the wall in.
• Headspace: because the lid is within reach, this is the tank people open too often and inspect too rarely. The vapor saturated band above the liquid line is where trouble starts, and the headspace wall thickness article explains why a liquid-side look misses it.
• Outlet: a 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base. Tell us the liquid at order so the fitting, gasket and bolting are matched to it, break the first joint with a flexible connector, and carry the first valve on its own support off the pad.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C, and a 3 Year Warranty, both as the sheet gives them.

Seven feet four inches of standing liquid is modest suction head, so the layout has to respect it: pump below the outlet, on its own base, with a short falling run into the suction port, and a strainer that can be cleaned without breaking the line. A pump lifted to bench height beside a tank this low will lose prime at the tail of every draw and sound like a failing pump instead of a bad install. A low level float or run-dry cut-out stops it with liquid still over the fitting. Read the level from a gauge at the ground rather than by opening the lid, and log the strength and date of every delivery on the wall of the tank where the operator can see it.

Dosing and process duty where the paperwork has to name a temperature

Specifications drive this tank as much as sites do. A municipal water or wastewater plant writing a stated service temperature into a submittal, a manufacturing plant whose standard requires a published limit and term on a stored chemical vessel, a co-op or blender handling a crop input solution that arrives warm in summer, a food or beverage plant holding a wash or clean-in-place chemical near the point of use, a laboratory or pilot line that needs a bulk day tank rather than a pallet of totes. In all of those the tank is bought for a duty that someone has to sign off, and a sheet that publishes 120 F / 48 C and a three year term is easier to sign off than one that publishes neither. The shape suits the same buyers: 88 inches keeps the whole vessel under a low eave and inside a machine shed. If the work is a fire reserve rather than a process duty, read the fire-water reservoir design guide first, because draw rate, connection and freeze protection decide whether stored water is a reserve or just water. For the shape argument across this capacity, the guide to the tall, narrow 2000 gallon shell and the guide to the low, wide 2000 gallon shell are both worth reading; each carries the figures its own shell publishes and this page claims none of them.

Marked Tree to your pad, oversize at class 400

The SII-8130000C37 is molded at Marked Tree, Arkansas and ships at class 400 as the sheet lists it, shipping at 90 inches by 90 inches by 88 inches and moving as an oversize load. The lane out of the Delta is short into Tennessee, Mississippi and Missouri and long into the far west, and on a permitted load the lane is the larger number on the invoice. Confirm the gate, the turn and the place a wide trailer can stop before the truck is booked, because a refused delivery is charged both ways. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. Unload with slings under the body or forks long enough to carry the whole floor, never a hook through the manway, and set it on the cured pad rather than beside it. Fill it with water to the manway once, hold it, and read the pad edge and the outlet bulkhead through the hold before the real liquid arrives. Write the service limit and the warranty term on the equipment record the day the tank lands, because the sheet publishes both and the sheet is not what anyone will be holding in three years. Photograph the outlet fitting from below before the pipe goes on; a slow weep is easier to compare against than to describe.
