Snyder Industries 200 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank

Take the stand when the pump has to live underneath

Against its own family this part answers one question and it is not a capacity question. The 200 gallon group is four parts on one 76 by 62 inch plan: two listed at 57 inches and 198 pounds with no stand, two listed at 74 inches and 242 pounds with one. Buy a standing part when the pump has to sit below the tank's low point and stay flooded, when the drain has to reach a carboy or a sump without a transfer pump, or when you want to see the underside of the vessel and find a weep before you find it with your boot. Buy a floor-mounted part when the ceiling is low, when the fill point is fixed at a height the stand would beat, or when the pump is already in a pit. Within the standing pair the remaining choice is the wall, and this one is the cross-linked wall. Set it on a flat, level, continuous surface that carries the whole base, and anchor it before the first fill: 1,668 pounds of water and 3,169 pounds at the rating are standing higher here than they would on a floor-mounted station, and everything above a stand has more to say about how the load is carried. Confirm 200 gallons is the right working supply in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the freeboard from the tank sizing guide rather than from whatever the last station held.

Same 200 gallons, two heights on the sheet

The first two rows are the standing pair and the sheet lists them identically at 76 by 62 by 74 inches and 242 pounds, separated only by the wall: this one is cross-linked, SII-5720104CFWS45 is the linear one. Rows three and four are the same plan without a stand at 57 inches and 198 pounds. Note what does not change anywhere in those four rows: the plan stays 76 by 62 inches, so the pad, the kerb and the aisle are the same whichever you take, and only the height above that pad and the weight on it move. That makes the stand a plumbing decision rather than a floor decision, which is unusually clean. SII-5730103CF42 is the 250 gallon step on the same plan at 69 inches and 209 pounds, worth a look if the delivery interval is the thing that hurts. The bottom row, SII-6370424N95402, is a Flowmaster dry hopper bin of 25 cubic feet recorded at 190 gallons, 48 by 48 by 57 inches and 330 pounds; it handles dry material and no liquid duty is claimed for it here.

Air in and liquid out at 74 inches

• Breathing: this sheet names no vent fitting, so the 14 inch lid carries the air as well as the fill. On a standing station that matters more than usual, because the lid is now at 74 inches and nobody checks what they cannot reach. Keep the path open and put the lid on the routine, not on the list of things somebody will get to.
• Filling at height: at 74 inches the opening is above chest height for most people, so bring the fill to a coupling at working level and open the lid from a step or a platform with a rail. A drum-top fill into an opening at this height is how a spill starts.
• The reason for the stand: the low point stands clear of the floor, so the pump goes underneath on its own base with a short falling run into the suction and stays flooded through the batch. The drain can run to a container without a transfer pump. The sheet lists no outlet or inlet size, so we confirm the fitting on your part before the pipework is made rather than printing a size it does not give.
• Under the tank: the one thing a stand adds that nobody costs is visibility. Light the space under the base, keep it clear, and look at it on the same round as the gauge; a weep found under a standing station is a wipe, and the same weep under a floor-mounted one is found by a boot.
• Reading and marking: gauge and label as the chemistry requires, using the level gauge selection guide and the tank label and signage guide.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C, and the sheet gives no warranty term.

Carry every pipe, valve and fitting on its own support off the floor, never on the tank or the frame, with a flexible connector at the first joint. Tell us the chemical and the wetted parts are matched to it.

Metering work where the suction must stay flooded

Standing feed stations go where a pump runs continuously and a lost prime is a real cost: hypochlorite and caustic at water and wastewater plants, polymer and coagulant ahead of a clarifier, acid feed on a cooling loop, a day tank on a finishing or plating line, detergent at a wash or a laundry, a dosing point in a mine or a generating station. In all of that the tank is a small part of the system and the pump is the part that fails, so the job of the station is to keep the pump fed and the operator informed. Keep the label current when the chemical changes, and keep the fill coupling marked; it is the single cheapest defence against the wrong delivery going into the right tank.

Arkansas freight on a 74 inch pallet

Molded at Marked Tree, Arkansas, this station ships from a single plant with the freight class given as LTL under NMFC 156600-01, shipping at 76 by 62 by 74 inches. That is a tall and wide pallet, so measure the door, the aisle and any low beam on the route before the truck is booked rather than after. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP and the listed price is before freight. Take the 242 pounds off with a forklift under the base, never with a sling around the tank body and never by the lid. Set it on the finished floor or pad, anchor it, then water-fill it once and hold it while you read the base, the lid seal and the floor around the feet, and drain it dry before the chemical comes. Check the anchors again a week after the first fill; a station that was tight when it was empty is not always tight after it has been loaded. Once it is full and holding, leave it alone for a day before the plumbing goes on; a settled tank is a quiet one.
