The Snyder Industries 150 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank is a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) vessel built for bulk chemical service, rated to 1.9 specific gravity so it carries dense liquids that a standard 1.5-SG tank cannot. Molded in white, it stores a true 150 gallons of chemical feed inventory in a compact footprint. Key dimensions and load planning numbers at a glance: 62 in H x 43 in W x 56 in L, footprint 43.0 x 56.0 in, full water weight 1,251 lb, and a maximum rated contents weight of 2,377 lb at the 1.9 SG rating — that last number is what should drive your pad, anchoring, and forklift planning before delivery.
Will this Snyder XLPE tank work for your application?
XLPE is the resin you want for aggressive chemistry: the cross-linked structure resists stress cracking and chemical attack, which is why this tank carries a 1.9 specific-gravity rating instead of the typical 1.5. With water in it the tank weighs 1,251 lb, but chemical feed liquids are heavier than water, so plan to the 2,377 lb maximum rated contents figure. Confirm your operating liquid's specific gravity stays within the 1.9 rating before you fill it. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match this 150 gallon capacity to your feed rate and refill cadence.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is XLPE rated to 1.9 specific gravity, suited to the chemicals below at the concentrations and seal materials listed. Always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific, before committing a fill. Compatible chemistries include Acetic Acid at 60% (PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gaskets), Aluminum Sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Calcium Chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM), DEF at 32.5% (316SS, EPDM), Ethylene Glycol at 100% (PVC, EPDM), Ferric Chloride at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Ferric Sulfate at 60% (PVC, EPDM), Ferrous Sulfate at 20% (PVC, EPDM), Hydrofluosilicic Acid at 26% (PP/PVC, Viton gaskets), Magnesium Chloride at 30% (PVC, EPDM), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM), Potassium Carbonate at 50% (PVC, EPDM), Saturated Potassium Hydroxide (PVC, EPDM), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), Sodium Carbonate at 30% (PVC, EPDM), Sodium Thiosulfate at 40% (PVC, EPDM), and Urea Solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM). Ozonated Water is rated up to 10 PPM with PVC fittings and EPDM gaskets — note that 10 PPM is a trace-oxidant limit, not a 10% solution, so size your dosing accordingly and refer to the OEM chart for that service. The listed fitting and gasket materials matter as much as the tank resin: Hydrofluosilicic Acid calls for Viton gaskets, and DEF wants 316 stainless wetted hardware.
The mistake to avoid
The most common error on a chemical feed tank is matching the resin and ignoring the seals. The XLPE shell and its 1.9 SG rating cover the wall, but a fill fails at the fittings and gaskets if those don't match the chemistry. Choose the seal material from the list above, not by habit. For instrumentation and labeling, the level gauge selection guide and the tank label and signage compliance guide walk through gauge technology and NFPA 704 placarding for bulk poly storage, and the chemical sampling protocol guide covers representative sampling once the tank is in service. See the technical drawing on this page for fitting locations and overall geometry.
