The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon Cone Bottom Tank (SKU 5070000N49) is a black polyethylene cone tank molded by Snyder Industries in Lincoln, Nebraska, and built for full-drain batch processing and bulk chemical storage. It stands 102 inches tall on a 90 x 90 inch footprint and ships LTL freight from Lincoln, NE - quoted live to your ZIP. Before you commit, check your door, ceiling, and dock clearance against that 102-inch height: along with freight cost, vertical clearance is the thing that most often derails an order on a cone tank this size.

The cone bottom geometry drains completely to the outlet, which is why operators choose this tank for blending, settling, and dosing duty where leftover heel in a flat-bottom tank is a problem.
Will it work for your application?
Filled with water (1.0 SG), this tank carries roughly 16,680 pounds; loaded to its 1.5 maximum rated specific gravity, contents can weigh up to 25,020 pounds. To self-qualify your liquid, multiply 2,000 gallons x 8.34 lb/gallon x your liquid's specific gravity - if that result exceeds the 1.5 SG rating, step up to a higher-rated tank rather than over-fill this one. The tank ships with the fittings shown on the technical drawing on this page: a flange for plumbed connections, an 18-inch PE threaded and vented fitting that lets the cone breathe during fill and batch-drain, and a manway with 15-inch access. That 15-inch manway is what makes this cone bottom tank cleanable and inspectable in chemical service, a real advantage over closed-top tanks. Because a loaded cone bottom tank carries its full weight on the cone, it needs a matching stand or steel structure rated for the job; see our Cone Bottom Tank Stand Compatibility Matrix before ordering the support frame, and use the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide to confirm the 2,000-gallon working volume fits your batch.
Chemical compatibility
This tank carries a 1.5 SG rating. Confirm the tank resin (HDLPE vs XLPE) and rating for your exact service before committing it to chemical duty, since resin type changes what the tank can hold. At 1.5 SG, this tank is rated for the following chemicals when paired with the correct fitting and gasket materials: Acetic Acid at 60% (PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gasket, see acetic acid); Aluminum Sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM, aluminum sulfate); Calcium Chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM, calcium chloride); DEF at 32.5% (DEF); Ferrous Sulfate at 20% (PVC, EPDM, ferrous sulfate); Magnesium Chloride at 30% (PVC, EPDM, magnesium chloride); Sodium Carbonate at 30% (PVC, EPDM, sodium carbonate); Urea Solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM, urea solution); and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC, EPDM). Note the fitting-material exceptions: DEF at 32.5% requires 316 stainless steel fittings, not the PVC default most of this list uses, so a DEF buyer should not reach for PVC out of habit. Always verify against the OEM chemical-resistance chart for your exact concentration and temperature - temperature is the hard gate that silently voids most of this compatibility list, so treat it as a requirement, not a footnote. Full data lives in our Chemical Compatibility Database.
Chemicals that need a higher-SG tank
Several common process chemicals exceed what a 1.5 SG tank should hold and require a 1.9 SG tank instead: Ethylene Glycol, Ferric Chloride, Ferric Sulfate, Hydrochloric Acid, Hydrofluoric Acid, Hydrofluosilicic Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Peracetic Acid, Phosphoric Acid, Polyaluminum Chloride, Potassium Carbonate, Potassium Hydroxide, Propylene Glycol, Sodium Bisulfate, Sodium Bisulfite, Sodium Hypochlorite, Sodium Thiosulfate, Sulfuric Acid, and Zinc Orthophosphate. If your service is on that list, do not under-spec this tank - step up to a 1.9 SG unit and match the fitting and gasket materials, which for several of these run to Viton or Aflas rather than EPDM (and 316 stainless or CPVC fittings rather than PVC on Peracetic Acid and Sulfuric Acid). Each chemical's page in the database shows the required pairing. The most expensive mistake on a cone bottom this large is buying the wrong SG rating and discovering it after the tank is plumbed and full.
