The Enduraplas 10000 Gallon Green Cone Bottom Tank is built for bulk chemical batching, mixing, and full-drain dispensing where sediment cannot be allowed to settle in the bottom of the vessel. This is a 10,000-gallon cone bottom tank molded in green polyethylene, standing 193 inches tall on a 144 x 144-inch footprint, and carrying a 1.9 specific gravity rating. At 1.9 SG this is the densest-liquid rating offered in this size, which is exactly what most heavy chemical service requires.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with water this tank weighs roughly 83,400 lbs, and at its full 1.9 specific gravity rating it is built to carry up to 158,460 lbs of contents. Use those two numbers when you design your support, because specific gravity governs structural load, not chemical resistance. A cone bottom tank of this size requires a properly engineered steel stand rated for the loaded weight, and the stand has to match the cone angle so the tank is fully supported. Walk through the math on our Cone Bottom Tank Stand Compatibility Matrix and the 10000 Gallon 30 Degree Cone Bottom Tank Buyer's Guide before you order steel. To confirm this capacity is right for your throughput and batch volume, run your numbers through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and cone dimensions, and call us at 866-418-1777 if you need outlet placement or stand details confirmed before purchase.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded in polyethylene with a 1.9 SG rating. Chemical resistance is governed by the resin and your wetted hardware, not by the SG number, so confirm whether you need a high-density linear (HDLPE) versus a crosslinked (XLPE) resin before committing this tank to chemical service, since the two behave differently with aggressive oxidizers and solvents. Always check the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact concentration and storage temperature, then specify fittings and gaskets in the matching material. The chemistries below are compatible with EPDM gaskets and standard plastic fittings: Acetic Acid 60% (details, PP/PVC), Aluminum Sulfate 50% (details, PVC), Calcium Chloride 40% (details, PVC), Ferric Chloride 50% (details, PVC), Ferric Sulfate 60% (details, PVC), Ferrous Sulfate 20% (details, PVC), Magnesium Chloride 30% (details, PVC), Sodium Carbonate 30% (details, PVC), Sodium Thiosulfate 40% (details, PVC), Potassium Carbonate 50% (details, PVC), Potassium Hydroxide saturated (details, PVC), Ethylene Glycol 100% (details, PVC), Urea Solution 50% (details, PP/PVC), and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC). Several more are compatible with concentration to be confirmed for your application: Polyaluminum Chloride (details, PVC), Propylene Glycol (details, PP/316SS), Sodium Bisulfate (details, PVC/PP), Sodium Bisulfite (details, PVC/PP), and Zinc Orthophosphate (details, PP/316SS).
The chemistries that need a special gasket or fitting
Several common chemistries are compatible but demand something other than the EPDM default, and getting that wrong is the most expensive mistake on a tank this size. The following require Viton gaskets: Sodium Hypochlorite below 16.5% (details, PVC), Hydrogen Peroxide 50% (details, PVC), Phosphoric Acid 85% (details, PVC), Hydrochloric Acid 37% (details, PVC), Hydrofluoric Acid 48% (details, PP/PVC), and Hydrofluosilicic Acid 26% (details, PP/PVC). Sulfuric Acid 98% (details) needs CPVC fittings with a Viton gasket. DEF at 32.5% (details) requires 316 stainless fittings with EPDM, and Peracetic Acid 30% (details) requires 316 stainless fittings with an Aflas gasket. Because the right stand, level-gauge, and hazard labeling all change depending on which of these you store, see our guide on tank level gauge selection for chemical service and the tank label and signage compliance guide. Verify your specific chemical, concentration, and temperature in our full Chemical Compatibility Database before you commit.
