Snyder Industries 200 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

The nurse tank and the yard tank

A 200 gallon black tank at 53 inches is what a spray contractor straps in a truck bed as the nurse tank, what a small plant stands beside a door for a chemical it takes by the tote, and what a job site keeps water in when a white tank would go green in the sun. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid, so water stays clear and a light-sensitive chemical keeps its strength; it runs warmer in the sun than a white wall, and it hides the level, so a sender or a sight tube does that work. The 1.9 wall covers the dense chemicals a tote holds. Full at the rating it puts 3,169 pounds on a 36 inch circle: a level slab per the concrete pad sizing guide, or continuous support under the floor and a strap over the top in a truck, with a berm or a spill tray when the liquid is regulated. The tank sizing calculator turns feed rate and delivery interval into a volume, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve to keep the pump wet between deliveries.

The 200 in every grade, and the sizes beside it

The C26 is this tank in white for indoors, where seeing the level through the wall matters more than sun. The N42 is the cross-linked one for hypochlorite and peroxide, and the N48 the other chemical grade. The 1012900C26 is the 210 two inches taller on this base, and the 1540400N42 lays 190 gallons down to 47 inches on a 42 inch base in the cross-linked resin.

Outlet and manway on a truck-height tank

• Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base; on a pad, a flexible connector to hard pipe with the valve supported off the pad; in a truck, a valve at the tank and a camlock so the hose comes off for the road.
• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 53 inches up, opened from the ground or from the truck bed; fill through a dip tube, and vent outside on anything that fumes.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

A black wall hides the level, so a sight tube off the outlet or a sender goes in with the tank, and on a truck the sight tube is the gauge that survives. A low-level float shuts a pump off before it draws air. Mount the pump below the outlet so it primes by gravity, keep the manway closed against vapor loss and road dust, and label the one chemical the tank holds. Where it freezes, drain the outlet valve and the first pipe run; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.

Where a black 200 goes

The nurse tank on a spray contractor's truck, a chemical supply beside a barn door, water on a job site trailer, the acid feed at a well site with no building, and a chemical tank at a lift station. Not a fire tank; the fire-water reservoir design guide sizes those in thousands of gallons and a water wall. Where a reuse system doses treatment chemical between storage stages, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a tank this size sits in the train.

Freight from Merced, and the first fill

The 1008000C34 ships from Merced, California as LTL freight at class 300; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. One person carries 65 pounds; it goes through a door on its side. Fill it with water to the manway once and look at the outlet fitting for a weep, then drain and dry before the chemical goes in. In a truck, do the same test parked level, then drive it around the block and look again. Chalk the full-water line on the outside after the first fill; it is the level every later reading gets checked against.
