The Chem-Tainer TC3036AA is a 110-gallon open top batch storage tank in natural white polyethylene, built for operators who batch, mix, and dispense water on a steady cadence. It stands 36 inches tall on a 30 x 30 inch square footprint, and its cylindrical body with a fully open top gives you unobstructed access for filling, manual additions, stirring, and cleanout. If you have been searching for a white open top tank you can load from above and empty without fighting a small fill port, this is that storage tank.
At a glance
Capacity 110 gallons | 36"H x 30" x 30" | footprint 30 x 30 in | loaded water roughly 917 lb | maximum rated contents roughly 1,743 lb at 1.9 specific gravity. The 1.9 SG figure is the wall rating of this tank itself, not an upgrade path you need to go hunt for, so a 110-gallon open top tank like this already carries the headroom to hold water batched with dissolved solids or heavier additives up to that density.
Will it work for your job?
This is a true open top tank, sized by what you pour in and what you do at the surface rather than by a narrow lid opening. Filled with water it carries about 917 lb of contents, and at its maximum rated density it holds up to roughly 1,743 lb. That said, the open top design is best for ambient-temperature water-service batching, day tanks, and rinse or makeup stations. One thing to set expectations on up front: this is a bare open-top vessel. No outlet, no bulkhead fitting, and no gasket are included, so it is built to be filled and emptied from the top, not plumbed for gravity drain out of the box. Use the technical drawing on this page to confirm wall geometry and the rim before you set it under a fill line or mixer. If you are weighing this 110-gallon size against other capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide will help you match volume and footprint to your space and turnover rate. If you instead need fast, complete bottom drainage and solids handling, the cone-bottom 30 vs 45 degree drainage comparison covers the path an open top batch tank does not give you.
Placement and the mistake to avoid
The 30 x 30 inch footprint makes this tank easy to place on a bench, a stand, or a pad, but a filled open top tank concentrates real weight on a small area. Set it on a flat, fully supported, level surface that can carry the loaded weight without flexing. The common mistake is treating an open top tank like a sealed storage tank: it is not. An open top invites evaporation, airborne contamination, and overflow if you overfill it, so plan a freeboard margin and a cover if your batch sits. For any above-ground install over a slab, the concrete pad sizing guide walks through supporting these loads correctly. If your water program runs grey-water, rainwater, or condensate streams, the industrial water reuse topology guide shows where an open top batch tank fits in a larger storage train.
