The Chem-Tainer 500 Gallon Plastic Vertical Double Wall Liquid Chemical Storage Tank (MPN TC5971DC) is a vertical industrial chemical storage vessel rotomolded from cross-linked or high-density polyethylene per ASTM D1998, sized for dosing-station feed, batch staging, and day-tank service.
Design
- Wall thickness graduated by capacity per OEM engineering — specify SG and chemical service when verifying suitability
- White or natural color minimizes UV degradation of stored chemistry through wall translucency
- Self-supporting vertical-cylinder design — no internal cage, no external bracing in standard atmospheric service
- Compatible fitting and manway configurations vary by OEM — specify chemical and service when ordering
- Rotomolded one-piece construction with no welded seams or bolted joints in the wetted shell
Installation
Set on a level concrete pad or chemical-resistant containment dike sized for the full tank volume per EPA SPCC and applicable state-level secondary-containment rules. A filled tank at 500 gallons applies approximately 4,170 lb at SG 1.0 (multiply by the actual chemical SG for service load). Anchor per ASCE 7 Chapter 13 for seismic and wind exposures. Install a high-level alarm and overflow-containment arrangement before commissioning bulk-chemical service.
Common applications
- Caustic (sodium hydroxide) bulk storage for pulp-and-paper, metal-finishing, and water-treatment service
- Polymer and coagulant staging at wastewater plants and industrial pretreatment systems
- Agricultural fertilizer (UAN, ammonium thiosulfate, micronutrient) bulk staging at ag-retail and on-farm operations
- Semiconductor and electronics-fab ultra-pure-water (UPW) holding upstream of polish loops
- Metal-finishing plating-bath holding for chrome, nickel, zinc, and cadmium operations
- Pesticide and herbicide formulation staging at custom-blending and ag-retail formulation sites
Compatibility & compliance
Polyethylene shell construction meets ASTM D1998 standards for atmospheric polyolefin chemical storage. Specific-gravity rating must match the application chemistry — verify against the OEM chemical-compatibility chart before commissioning service. Not rated for pressurized service, gasoline, kerosene, jet-A, aromatic solvents (toluene, xylene, benzene), or chlorinated solvents.
