Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with ASTM Certification

The middle wall, certified, under seven and a half feet

A water-rated wall is for water and nothing heavier; the chemical wall is what concentrated acid needs; a 1.5 wall is the middle, sized for brine, fertilizer solution and coagulant as delivered and every water application, with margin, and a 90 inch base under 88 inches keeps the manway within reach of a step and sits low enough that no strap is needed. The certification is to ASTM D1998, which is a wall-thickness standard at heart; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the sizing logic and why the headspace is where a wall ages, and the freeboard sizing guide works out the usable volume once thermal expansion is accounted for. At 2,000 gallons the vent has to keep up with the pump-out and the fill, so it is sized for them; the atmospheric vent capacity guide carries the API 2000 worked examples. Full, it puts 25,020 pounds on a 90 inch circle at the rating, which a slab in full contact carries. The tank sizing calculator tells you whether 2,000 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.

Grades on the 90 x 88 inch tank, and the sizes beside it

The N45 is the certified 1.9 wall, 60 pounds heavier, for ferric at strength and the heavy brines, and the N39 the certified 1.35 wall, 15 pounds lighter, for water and hypochlorite; the C34 and C37-BLACK are the general-grade tanks in white and black at this tank's weight. The 1780200N40 stands 1,900 gallons on a 72 inch base in cross-linked resin, and the 5090000C26 is the 2,500 gallon step up on this base, 19 inches taller.

Still deciding between these? Freight to your ZIP often settles it; the wider tanks ship differently. Or call 866-418-1777 and we will walk the table with you.

Access and outlet

• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; a dip tube takes the fill from a hose or a truck; a fuming liquid gets a vent line to the outside.
• Outlet: name the liquid when ordering so the bulkhead fitting matches it; a flexible connector between the bulkhead and hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
• Listing: ASTM certification.

The white wall shows the level in daylight; fit a low-level float switch so a pump never runs dry. The pump sits below the outlet so it primes by gravity; the manway stays closed; a light-sensitive liquid stays out of the sun. In a freezing climate insulate or drain the outlet valve and the first run of pipe.

Receiving a delivery

A delivery truck's pump moves liquid faster than a manway vent passes air, so the vent is sized for the unload rate or the fill comes in through a top bulkhead with its own vent line. Run the fill pipe to the floor so the liquid does not free-fall and foam. The first delivery into a new tank is watched from start to finish, with the outlet fitting checked as the level climbs, and every delivery after that goes in the log with a date and a strength.

Put to use

Brine for a softener bank, fertilizer solution on a farm, coagulant as delivered at a small plant that needs the certification on file, well storage, and one cell of a small fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. One liquid per tank, labeled.

How it ships

The 5050000N43 ships palletized as LTL freight (NMFC 156600-01) at a class rate; the freight cost estimator shows the lane to your ZIP; the listed figure is the price before freight. A forklift with long forks or four people roll 340 pounds onto the pad. One water fill to the manway, a hold, a look at the outlet fitting, and the certification goes in the project file. A strap that is checked once a season is a strap that holds; put it on the same calendar as the gutters.
