Snyder Industries 15000 Gallon Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A fourteen foot circle and a sixteen foot roof

This is the 15,000 that goes indoors. At 184 inches to the manway it clears a sixteen foot roof with room for the vent, where the other 15,000 stands nearly twenty feet and needs open sky or a high bay. The price is the floor: a 165 inch circle, nearly fourteen feet, and full at the rating nearly one hundred nineteen tons on it, the heaviest load per square foot in this batch. A rotationally molded floor bears on the whole pad, so the slab is engineered to the concrete pad sizing guide and not poured by rule of thumb, level and in full contact, inside a berm sized to the tank, because a wide tank on a slab with a low corner puts its weight on that corner and works the outlet fitting every time the level changes. Outdoors, fifteen feet of empty white polyethylene on a fourteen foot base is a sail in a storm, so it is cabled to structure or to deadmen before the first fill, and the cables are checked after the first windy week and after the first full summer, because the wall grows in the sun and the cable that was tight in April is loose in August. The white wall shows the level in daylight and passes light to the liquid, so a light-sensitive chemical belongs in the black tank in the tall shell instead. Whether 15,000 gallons covers the draw between tankers is a question for the tank sizing calculator; the reserve and the headspace a dense liquid needs as it warms are in the tank sizing guide.

Wide or tall at 15,000, and the 12,500 and 16,500 beside them

Wide or tall. This tank and the 3030100C37 are the wide shell, 165 by 184 inches; the C37 is the lighter wall, rated as its own sheet says, for liquids that do not need 1.9. The 5370000C34 and 5370000C37-BLACK hold the same 15,000 gallons in black on a 142 inch base at 234 inches, fifty inches taller and nearly two feet narrower, for the site with sky and a light-sensitive load, each rated as its own sheet says. The 5350000C34 is the black 12,500 on the 142 inch base at 198 inches, and the 5380000C126 is the 16,500 at 257 inches, listed at 3,000 pounds, which the sheet gives and we print.

Three inches of stainless-bolted outlet

• Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene fitting with stainless steel bolting, at the base. Tell us the liquid at order and the fitting, gasket and bolting are matched to it; a flanged transition, a flexible connector to hard pipe, and the first valve supported off the pad, never hung on the tank wall.
• Access: 24 inch threaded, vented manway, 184 inches up; a platform with a rail for anyone who opens it. Fill through a dip tube to the floor, vent outdoors on a liquid that fumes, and size the vent to the delivery pump, because a tanker unloads fast into a tank this size.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

The sheet gives this tank a bolted fitting rather than a threaded bulkhead, and stainless bolting rather than plastic, which is what a fitting wants when there are nearly one hundred nineteen tons of dense liquid behind it and a tanker's pump on the other side. Three inches lets the tank drain in a shift and keeps a transfer pump flooded to the last few inches under fifteen feet of head. Mount the pump below the outlet where gravity primes it, fit a low-level float so it stops before it draws air, and keep the pipe run flexible at the wall, because a fitting this size with a rigid run on it carries every bit of thermal movement into the tank. The 24 inch manway is wide enough for a person and their gear, which is the point of it on a tank that will be cleaned between products; it stays shut between deliveries, the wall carries the name of the one chemical inside, and the headspace band gets a light at every opening. Where winters freeze, the valve and the first pipe run crack before the tank does; wrap or trace them.

Bulk chemicals by the tanker, under a roof

Coagulant or caustic at a water plant with a wide chemical building, brine at a food plant, sulfuric acid at a fertilizer or metals operation, and bulk process chemical at a plant that buys full tankers and stores in a bay. Where site rules call for a second wall, the Captor double wall freeboard guide works out what a contained tank gives up in usable volume at this size. A fire reserve is a water tank sized as the fire-water reservoir design guide describes, not a chemical wall, though water is far inside this rating. For a reuse train, the industrial water reuse tank topology article places a bulk chemical tank of this size between the storage stages.

Washington Court House, Ohio, class 300, a wide load

The 3030100C26 ships from Washington Court House, Ohio as freight at class 300 as the sheet lists it; at 165 inches across it rides outside a trailer on a permitted load, and the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, with the listed price before freight. A crane stands 4,400 pounds up with straps under the body, never through the manway, and the cables to structure go on before the crane leaves. Fill it with water to the manway once and hold it, watching the pad edge and the outlet fitting for movement or a weep, then drain and dry before the chemical arrives; after that the log takes the date and strength of every load. Look at the cable tension a week after the first fill. A tank this heavy settles a little, and the cable that was tight is loose. Tape a copy of the spec sheet inside the control panel door; the next person to touch the tank will not have the box it came in.
