Snyder Industries 1500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Six feet tall, rated for a dense liquid

At 72 inches tall this tank goes under a ceiling that most tanks of its volume would not, and the manway is reachable from a step rather than a platform; it pays for that with an 86 inch circle on the floor. The 1.9 rating is for the liquids that make a standard tank the wrong buy: brines, concentrated acids and bases, dense fertilizer solutions and anything else well above the weight of water. Crosslinking ties the polymer chains together, which gives the wall more resistance to stress cracking and to many chemicals than a standard linear polyethylene wall; our note on when crosslinking matters for chemistry duty covers how to decide. A rotationally moulded tank carries its load on the whole floor, so up to 23,769 lb bears on the full 86 inch circle. Pour the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, with a berm where the liquid is regulated. Where the rules call for containment, the Captor double wall freeboard guide works out what a contained tank leaves usable at this volume. Run the volume against your draw and your delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard advice from the tank sizing guide.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. The 1.9 rating covers liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water. Check the liquid against polyethylene before you order, and if it is heavier than 1.9 or runs warmer than 140 F in service, tell us; that is a different tank.
2. The outlet. This page lists the manway, not a bottom fitting. Tell us the liquid and the draw-off you want and we will confirm what this tank takes, in what size and material, before anything is drilled.
3. The manway. 18 inch threaded and vented, 72 inches off the pad, so a short step reaches it. On a liquid that fumes, run the vent to where the fumes should go, and keep the lid closed between deliveries.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and shows the manway position and the base.

Whatever is plumbed at the base sits on its own support off the pad, with a flexible connector to hard pipe, so the wall carries liquid and not the weight of a valve and a pump.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 400, 86 by 86 by 72 inches on a skid, 270 lb, from Snyder's plant at Marked Tree, Arkansas. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Unload with a forklift and straps under the body, never a sling through the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number against 8120100N42 on the bill of lading and walk round the base for transit damage. Fill it with water the first time, let it stand, and look at the pad edge and the base fitting before the working liquid goes in.
