The Snyder Industries 1100 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank is built from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating, which is what separates it from a standard water tank and lets it hold dense chemical solutions full to its rated line. The white tank stands 90 inches tall on a 64 x 64 inch footprint, so before you finalize a spot, confirm your pad and any doorway or roof clearance against those dimensions and the technical drawing on this page. At 1.9 SG this vertical storage tank handles contents up to roughly 17,431 pounds at maximum rated density; the same tank filled with water (SG 1.0) carries about 9,174 pounds. Size your concrete pad, anchor pattern, and any secondary containment to the heavier of those two numbers for the liquid you actually plan to store.
Will it work for your application
This is a Snyder XLPE vertical tank rated for 1100 gallons. Cross-linked polyethylene gives this tank a higher chemical-resistance ceiling than standard linear (HDLPE) polyethylene, which is why it is specified for aggressive chemical service rather than plain storage. At a 1.9 SG rating this is already the heavy-density XLPE tier, so for the chemicals listed below there is no higher-SG tank to step up to - you are at the top of the density range here. Fitting and outlet configuration is confirmed at order rather than pre-installed, so tell us your bulkhead, outlet, and vent needs when you quote so the tank arrives plumbed for your job. Use the full-water and max-rated-contents weights above to spec the slab and tie-downs, and if you are not sure 1100 gallons fits your draw-down and refill cycle, run the numbers through our Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide before you order.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is XLPE resin with a 1.9 SG rating. Because the resin field is confirmed as XLPE, it is suited to chemical service, but always verify the specific chemical, concentration, and temperature against the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific, before committing. The following chemicals are listed as compatible at the noted concentrations, each paired with the fitting and gasket material it calls for:
- 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
- Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%) - PP/PVC fittings, Viton gaskets
- Magnesium Chloride (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM 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 Carbonate (30%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Sodium Thiosulfate (40%) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Urea Solution (50%) - PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
- Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM) - PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets
EPDM gaskets cover most of the list, but the exceptions are where jobs go wrong: hydrofluosilicic acid needs Viton rather than EPDM, DEF calls for 316 stainless wetted parts instead of the standard PVC kit, and propylene glycol calls for PP or 316SS. If you ever switch this tank to a different chemical, re-spec the fittings and gaskets for the new service - do not reuse the original kit. For the full picture, including chemicals not listed here, check our Chemical Compatibility Database, and pair the right level instrumentation using our guide to level gauge selection for chemical service.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a tank like this is matching the SG rating to water instead of your actual chemical. At 1.9 SG this XLPE tank is built to hold heavy solutions, but your slab, anchors, and any containment must be sized to the max-rated-contents weight (about 17,431 lb), not the lighter full-water figure. If you are weighing containment options, our comparison of the Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment versus UL-142 and SPCC walks through what regulators expect. For additional sizing and configuration detail on other 1100-gallon vertical configurations, see our buyer's guides for the 42591 and 40070 vertical tanks (note those are separate part numbers with their own dimensions - confirm against this tank's spec table above).
