Snyder Industries 10500 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

This is a tanker-drop tank for a water plant, a chemical plant or a co-op storing a dense liquid: ferric and the other heavy coagulants, concentrated acid, brine. Full at the rating it puts 166,383 lb on a 142 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on all of it, so the slab is engineered, not guessed; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design, and a chemical this size goes inside a berm. A black tank 169 inches tall grows in the sun and shrinks at night, so the cables to structure or deadmen go on while it is empty and get checked after the first windy week and the first full summer, and the pipe leaves the outlet through a flexible connector, never a rigid run. Black runs warmer than white, so shade it if the chemical must stay cool. Where site rules call for a second wall, the Captor double wall freeboard guide works out what containment costs in usable volume at this size. Check the volume against your draw between tankers with the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the warm-weather headspace from the tank sizing guide.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.9 specific gravity and 120 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide and name the chemical and concentration when you order so every wetted part of the fitting matches it.
2. The outlet. Give us the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. Fourteen feet of a dense liquid is a real head on the fitting, so the first valve sits on its own support, the connector to hard pipe is flexible, the pump sits below the outlet, and a low-level float stops it before it draws air.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 169 inches up, opened from a platform with a rail. Fill through a dip tube to the floor, size the vent to the tanker's pump, and run it outdoors on anything that fumes.

Shipping and receiving

The 5330000N51 ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, whichever is nearer, strapped to a skid at 142 by 142 by 169 inches and 3,100 lb. At this size it is an oversize load; the estimator will likely hand you to the phone, so call us with the ZIP and the access route. A crane stands it up with straps under the body, never through the manway, and the cables go on before the crane leaves. Check the part number 5330000N51 on the bill of lading, look over the shell for transit damage, and fill it with water to the shoulder first, holding it while you watch the pad edge and the outlet fitting, then drain and dry it before the chemical arrives. Photograph the base full on day one; every later inspection is compared against it.
