Snyder Industries 130 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with ASTM Certification

Tall, narrow, certified

A 29 inch base under 51 inches is the tank that stands in the gap between a dosing skid and the wall, and at nearly twice its width in height it is bracketed to something. What it shares with the largest tanks in the same line is the wall, sized for a liquid nearly twice as dense as water and certified against ASTM D1998, the standard rotationally molded polyethylene tanks are specified to; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the D1998 sizing logic and why the vapor headspace is where a wall fails first, at any size. Full, it puts 2,060 pounds on a 29 inch circle, which a slab or a paver pad supports. The 130 gallon vertical tank buyers guide compares the shapes at this volume across makers; the tank sizing calculator sizes a day tank to the pump's rate and the refill schedule, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve, which at this size is refilled from a drum or a tote.

Snyder's 110 to 150 gallon verticals

The N42 is cross-linked polyethylene for hypochlorite and the other oxidizers, and the C26 is the general grade, both at this tank's weight in the same shell. The 8010000N45 is the certified 110 laid down to 41 inches on a 33 inch base for a floor without a bracket, the 1540200N51 is the squat 120, and the 1012800C26 holds 150 gallons 8 inches taller on a base an inch wider.

Bulkheads and lid

• Access: 8 inch threaded lid; filled by hose, drum pump or funnel.
• Outlet: name the chemical when ordering so the bulkhead fitting matches it; a flexible line to the pump suction and a valve supported off the floor.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
• Listing: ASTM certification.

Bracket the tank to a wall or the skid frame so a snagged hose cannot pull it over, and mount the dosing pump below the outlet so it primes by gravity, with a union and a check valve in the suction line. A white 51 inch tank shows its level at a glance; a low-level float switch protects the pump. Keep the lid closed against vapor loss and the tank out of direct sun where the chemical is light-sensitive; a 29 inch tank fits a standard spill pallet.

Day-to-day duty

Day tanks at small water systems and well houses, chemical feed skids, lab and pilot plants, brine for a small softener, and, with water in it, one cell of the small reserve the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. One chemical per tank, labeled, rinsed at every changeover.

From the plant to your site

The 1007300N45 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-02) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and what is listed here is the price before freight. One person carries 45 pounds. Check the lid and the outlet fitting, fill it once with water to prove the seal, bracket it, and keep the certification paperwork with the project file. Write the fill date on the manway with a paint marker; it answers the first question anyone asks about a tank.
