Snyder Industries 130 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Why the taller 130 and not the shorter one

The other 130 gallon shell we list is two inches shorter on the same 29 inch circle, lists an eight inch lid, and comes out of Lincoln, Nebraska; this 1007300 shell is 51 inches tall, four feet three inches to the top, carries no lid field on its sheet, and comes out of Merced. Pick this one for a West Coast site, and for a specification that will name its own top opening rather than take the one the other shell lists. Within the 1007300 family the choice is the wall: the 1007300C34 is the black tank at the same 45 pounds for a liquid that light degrades; the 1007300N42 is the natural cross-linked tank by its name and the 1007300N48 the black cross-linked tank by its name, each rated as its own sheet says; and this C26 is the natural linear wall rated 1.9, the pick when the operator reads the level through the wall and the specification does not ask for cross-linked. At 130 gallons and 1.9 the linear wall already carries a dense liquid. Full at the rating it puts 2,060 pounds, a ton, on a 29 inch circle, so a slab or a rated steel stand carries it, flat and level so the tank does not rock on its fitting, with a tray or berm sized to the tank where the liquid is regulated; the concrete pad sizing guide was written for tanks that weigh tons empty, and its full-contact rule is what carries over. Four feet of tank on a 29 inch base is strapped to the wall before the first fill. Natural polyethylene passes light, so the level reads by eye and the liquid sees the sun. Check 130 gallons against the dose rate and the refill interval in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the warm-weather headspace from the tank sizing guide.

From the low 120 to the 150, around this 130

The four 1007300 rows are one molding in four walls, each rated on its own page. The 1540200N51 lays 120 gallons down to 39 inches on a 32 inch circle, a black tank at this tank's own 45 pounds, which the sheet gives and we print, for a bench with a shelf close above. The 1012800C26 stands 150 gallons at 59 inches on a 30 inch circle, the next step up when 130 gallons runs out between refills.

Vent sizing at 130 gallons, with the opening specified at order

• Vent and fill: the sheet lists no lid or manway field, and we print what it gives; tell us at order how the tank is filled and drawn down, and the top opening is specified to breathe it. A 130 gallon tank fills from a drum pump, a tote or a hose, and the opening passes the air that rate displaces; a pump drawing the tank down against a sealed top pulls a vacuum and caves the wall, so the opening is never closed tight. Put the hose end below the rim so a dense liquid does not fall four feet and beat the headspace band.
• Headspace: stop at the shoulder. The band above the liquid line is the one vapor works on; through a natural wall it can be seen from outside and it gets a look at every fill.
• Outlet: 1 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting at the base. Name the liquid at order and the fitting, gasket and bolting are matched to it, with a flexible connector to hard pipe and the valve supported on the stand.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

Four feet of head over a 1 inch outlet gravity-feeds a metering pump or a transfer line; set the pump inlet below the outlet so it runs flooded to the last inch, and fit a low-level float so it never pumps air. The pipe run must never carry its movement back into the wall, so the connector is flexible and the valve sits on the stand. Keep the top covered, the chemical's name on the wall, and the strap tight. A tank this size freezes through in a cold night outdoors, so it lives indoors, or the valve and line are traced and the tank is drained before a hard cold.

Contained feeds, dose tanks and stock solutions

A chemical feed tank beside a metering pump at a small water plant, a fertilizer stock tank at a greenhouse, a process or rinse tank in a shop, and the dose tank a reuse system keeps between its storage stages; the industrial water reuse tank topology article places a tank of this size in that train. Where site rules ask for a second wall at this size, the Captor double wall freeboard guide works through what a contained tank gives up in usable volume, and why a small tank gives up a larger share. It holds water without complaint, but a fire reserve is a different tank; the fire-water reservoir design guide explains what that reserve needs.

Class 300 on a pallet out of Merced

The 1007300C26 ships from Merced, California as freight at class 300 as the sheet lists it; at 29 inches across and 51 inches tall it rides on a pallet inside the trailer, and the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, with the listed price before freight. Two people carry 45 pounds by the body, never by the fitting, and it goes through a standard door standing up. Fill it with water to the shoulder once and hold it, watching the base fitting for a weep, then drain and dry it before the chemical goes in. Mark the shoulder line on the natural wall with a marker on that first water fill; every fill after it stops at the same line. Keep the delivery paperwork with the tank; the serial number on the shell is what a warranty claim starts from.
