The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank is built for liquids that ordinary water tanks cannot hold. Molded from High Density Linear Polyethylene (HDLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, this white vertical storage tank stands 90 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, giving you full-strength chemical service without the dead height of a wider tank. Empty of contents it carries 9,174 pounds at a full water fill, and with the 1.9 SG rating the tank is engineered to hold up to 17,431 pounds of dense contents - the number that actually matters when you are storing acids, brines, or coagulants heavier than water. At 1.9 SG this is the top density rating offered in the 1,100-gallon vertical class, so there is no heavier-rated step-up to chase for standard concentrated acids and brines.
Does it work for your application?
This is a dedicated vertical chemical tank, not a repurposed water tank. The 1.9 SG wall rating means it handles the high-density chemicals that crack a standard 1.0 or 1.5 SG tank over time. Use the full-water weight of 9,174 lb and the 17,431 lb max-rated contents figure to confirm your pad, ring wall, or saddle can carry the load before delivery. The 64 x 64 inch square footprint and 90 inch height let it fit through most plant doorways and under standard ceilings while still giving you 1,100 gallons of usable volume. Run your fill level and chemical density through the Tank Sizing Calculator, and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are choosing between vertical tank sizes. This tank is sold as the vessel; bulkhead fittings and gaskets are selected and ordered separately to match your chemical, and you can see the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and outlet positions.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is molded from HDLPE and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, so it is suited to a broad range of full-strength chemicals. Always confirm against the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific - the same chemical at a higher concentration or temperature can change the recommendation. Verified-compatible chemicals for this resin and SG rating include Sulfuric Acid at 98% (CPVC fittings, Viton gaskets), Hydrochloric Acid at 37% (PVC, Viton), Phosphoric Acid at 85% (PVC, Viton), Hydrofluoric Acid at 48% (PP/PVC, Viton), Sodium Hypochlorite below 16.5% (PVC, Viton), Ferric Chloride at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Aluminum Sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Hydroxide saturated (PVC, EPDM), Hydrogen Peroxide at 50% (PVC, Viton), Calcium Chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM), DEF at 32.5% (316SS, EPDM), Urea Solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM), Peracetic Acid at 30% (316SS, Aflas gaskets), and Acetic Acid at 60% (PP/PVC, EPDM). It is also rated for Ethylene Glycol, Propylene Glycol, Ferric Sulfate, Ferrous Sulfate, Hydrofluosilicic Acid, Magnesium Chloride, Polyaluminum Chloride, Potassium Carbonate, Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Carbonate, Sodium Thiosulfate, Zinc Orthophosphate, and ozonated water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM).

The mistake to avoid
The two failures that ruin chemical tanks are the wrong specific gravity and the wrong fitting and gasket material. The 1.9 SG tank covers the density side, but the wrong gasket on an aggressive oxidizer will fail long before the wall does. Match the fitting body and gasket to your chemical exactly - sulfuric, hydrochloric, phosphoric, and hydrofluoric acids, sodium hypochlorite, and hydrogen peroxide need Viton gaskets, peracetic acid needs Aflas, and the milder salts and glycols run on EPDM. The fitting bodies vary too: most chemicals run on PVC, sulfuric at 98% calls for CPVC, and DEF, peracetic acid, propylene glycol, and zinc orthophosphate are specified with 316 stainless steel.
