The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank in white is built for full-strength chemical duty: a 1.9 specific-gravity rating across the full 1,100-gallon volume, molded in high density linear polyethylene (HDLPE). It is a vertical storage tank intended for chemical feed and storage rather than potable water. Confirm the exact dimensions against the technical drawing on this page before you pour a pad or size an enclosure - the listed figures are 86 x 86 in for the footprint with a 55 in dimension, and you will want the drawing's verified height and diameter for a vertical of this volume.
Will it hold your chemical and your volume
The 1.9 SG rating is the number to design around. Water fills this Snyder vertical storage tank at roughly 9,174 lb when brimmed (1,100 gal x 8.34 lb/gal), but the tank is rated to carry contents up to 17,431 lb - that works out to 1,100 gal x 8.34 lb/gal x 1.9 SG, the headroom that lets it safely hold liquids heavier than water such as concentrated acids and sulfate solutions. One caution: a 1.9 SG ceiling is referenced to standard conditions and de-rates with temperature, so a 1.85 SG liquid stored hot is not automatically inside the envelope. Confirm your chemical's specific gravity at your actual storage concentration and service temperature before you fill. To match tank volume to your draw-down and refill cycle, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded in HDLPE and carries a 1.9 SG rating, which puts a wide range of municipal and industrial chemicals in scope. Compatibility depends as much on your fittings and gaskets as on the tank wall, so the materials below are the starting point - always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart at your specific concentration and temperature before committing.
- Acetic Acid (60%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Aluminum Sulfate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Calcium Chloride (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- DEF (32.5%) - 316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ethylene Glycol (100%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Chloride (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferric Sulfate (60%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ferrous Sulfate (20%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Hydrochloric Acid (37%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluoric Acid (48%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Hydrogen Peroxide (50%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Peracetic Acid (30%) - 316SS fittings, Aflas gaskets
- Phosphoric Acid (85%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Polyaluminum Chloride - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Carbonate (50%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Potassium Hydroxide (saturated) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Propylene Glycol - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfate - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Bisulfite - PVC/PP fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Hypochlorite (<16.5%) - PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sulfuric Acid (98%) - CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Zinc Orthophosphate - PP/316SS fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
Watch the gasket and fitting call-outs closely. Oxidizers like hydrogen peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, and the concentrated acids want Viton, peracetic acid is the only line item that calls for Aflas, and 98% sulfuric acid is the one service that requires CPVC rather than PVC. Most salts and bases run on EPDM. Every chemical in the table above is within this tank's 1.9 SG rating, so no heavier-rated tank is required for these services.

The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a chemical tank this size is matching the wall but not the wetted hardware. The tank is rated to 1.9 SG, but a PVC bulkhead on a 98% sulfuric-acid service - which needs CPVC - or a standard EPDM gasket where the chemical demands Viton or Aflas, will fail long before the polyethylene does. Spec the fitting and gasket material to the chemical, not to the tank, and do not default-order the standard PVC/Viton kit for the outlier services. For instrumentation, the level-gauge selection guide walks through radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic, and magnetostrictive options for aggressive media, and if you need secondary containment, the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment comparison covers SPCC sizing.
