The Snyder Industries 120 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank is purpose-built for bulk chemical storage and metering, molded from cross-linked polyethylene with a 1.9 specific gravity rating - meaning it is rated to hold liquids up to 1.9 times the density of water without the resin reaching its limit. At 51 inches tall on a 43 x 56 inch footprint, this white Snyder chemical tank holds 120 gallons and is engineered as a dedicated home for the heavy, aggressive chemistries that a standard water tank cannot safely contain.
Will this tank work for my application?
Confirm the weight before you confirm the spot on your slab. Filled with water, this tank carries roughly 1,001 lbs; filled to its maximum rated contents at 1.9 SG, it carries up to 1,902 lbs - about 90% more mass than water alone. That is the whole point of the rating: 120 gallons of a 1.9 SG liquid is roughly 120 x 8.34 x 1.9, or about 1,902 lbs, a load a 1.0 or 1.5 SG tank is not built to hold. Size your pad, pump skid, and any containment to the 1,902 lb figure, not the water number. The 43 x 56 inch footprint and 51 inch height define the space and clearance you need for fill, mixing, and metering equipment. Fitting sizes and outlet configuration are not specified in this listing - call 866-418-1777 to confirm bulkhead and outlet sizing before you finalize your plumbing, and review the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and dimensional detail. To convert your dosing rate and day-tank turnover into the right capacity, run the Tank Sizing Calculator or read the Tank Sizing Guide.
Chemical compatibility
This is an XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) tank rated to 1.9 specific gravity, which is what makes it suitable for dense, oxidizing, and corrosive chemistries that exceed a 1.0 or 1.5 SG tank. Compatibility always depends on concentration and temperature, so verify your exact service conditions against the OEM chemical-resistance chart before ordering, and match your fittings and gaskets to the chemical - the tank shell is only one part of a leak-free system. Chemistries commonly stored in a tank of this resin and SG rating, with the fitting and gasket pairing to specify, include:
- 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
Watch the elastomer and wetted-metal exceptions. Hydrofluosilicic acid requires Viton gaskets in place of EPDM. DEF and urea solution call for 316 stainless or polypropylene wetted parts on the fittings, run with EPDM gaskets. Full concentration- and temperature-specific data lives in the OEM chemical-resistance chart and in our Chemical Compatibility Database.
The mistake to avoid
The most expensive error on a chemical feed station is treating XLPE and the SG rating as interchangeable with a water tank. XLPE is a cross-linked resin chosen specifically for chemical resistance and impact strength - it does not get rerated upward, and you should not push it past its 1.9 rating. Just as critical, do not reuse generic fittings or off-the-shelf gaskets: a Viton-service acid on an EPDM gasket, or a metal fitting where PVC was specified, is how feed systems leak. Match every wetted component to the chemical, and label the tank to the chemistry it holds - see our guides on tank label and signage compliance, level gauge selection for chemical service, and chemical sampling protocol. If secondary containment is on your radar, compare approaches in our Snyder Captor Plus 110% containment vs UL-142 comparison.
