The Chem-Tainer 2925 gallon open top batch storage tank (SKU TC9597AA) is a natural white polyethylene vessel built for open-top water batching, mixing, and bulk storage where you need easy top access for filling, monitoring, and manual dosing. If you are shopping for a large white open top tank to hold and stage process water, this is the size that anchors a batch train without stepping up to a closed vertical.
Will this tank work for my batch?
The open top design gives you a full-diameter opening at the top, so you can see the water line, drop in a mixer, and add material by hand rather than working through a small lid. Rated at 2,925 gallons, this is a storage tank sized to hold and stage process water for a full batch cycle. Filled with water it carries a substantial standing load: at capacity the water alone weighs about 24,394 pounds. That number drives the pad and site work under the tank far more than the empty shell weight, so size the batch to the water level you actually run, not just the nameplate gallons. If you are staging grey water, rainwater, or reclaimed process water, our guide on industrial water reuse tank topology covers how a vessel like this fits a quality-banded storage train, and our Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide help you match tank volume to your throughput.
Site, foundation, and open-top setup
An open top tank of this size needs a flat, fully supporting foundation. With roughly twelve tons of water bearing down when full, the tank must sit on a continuous, level pad that supports the entire base, not spot footings or an uneven slab. Our guide on concrete pad sizing for above-ground polyethylene tanks covers the ACI 360R-10 framework for getting that base right before the tank arrives. Because this is an open top vessel, plan for how you will keep debris and contamination out of the water in your setting, and confirm the cover and fitting or outlet configuration on the technical drawing on this page rather than assuming a standard connection is in place.
How it ships
This tank ships LTL freight from the Chem-Tainer plant in Pennsylvania, quoted live to your ZIP code. Freight is priced on the empty polyethylene shell's cube, dimensions, and the delivery access at your site, not on the 24,394 pound full-water figure, so there is no need to fear freighting twelve tons. Get a real number for your delivery address with our Freight Cost Estimator, or call us at 866-418-1777 and we will quote it and confirm delivery details. Review the technical drawing on this page for exact dimensions and confirm your placement and access before you order.
