The Snyder Industries 2000 Gallon XLPE Vertical Double Wall Liquid Chemical Storage Tank in White is a containment-ready vertical tank built from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity, which is what qualifies it for aggressive chemical service rather than water duty alone. It holds 2,000 gallons inside a near-cube 102 in. x 102 in. footprint and stands 103 in. tall, with the outer wall providing integral secondary containment so the primary tank and its catch basin arrive as one double-wall unit. This is the configuration that answers SPCC and 40 CFR 112 secondary-containment questions without building a separate dike.
Will it work for your application?
The 1.9 SG rating is the number to check first: it tells you the XLPE shell is engineered to carry liquids up to 1.9 times the weight of water, and on this Snyder XLPE line 1.9 is the top-density build for these chemicals, so there is no heavier-rated step-up tank to wonder about. Filled with plain water it carries about 16,680 lb, and at its maximum rated contents it is engineered to hold roughly 31,692 lb across that 102 x 102 base. Pair those numbers when you plan: a 102 x 102 footprint, 103 in. tall, at up to 31,692 lb of load is what your concrete pad, anchoring, and any seismic or wind detail have to be specified for, not the lighter water weight. The drawing for this vertical XLPE double-wall tank shows the standard fitting set: a flange, an 18 in. PE threaded/vented fitting, and a manway with 15 in. access. That 15 in. access opening is the inspection and cleanout port that makes recurring chemical service practical on a 103 in. tall double-wall unit, so a person or tool can reach the primary tank. Confirm all fitting positions against your fill, vent, and outlet plumbing on the technical drawing on this page before you order, and run your volume and turnover through the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide if you are still settling on a size.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is XLPE at a 1.9 specific-gravity rating, the higher-density wall most chemical service requires and the ceiling for this Snyder XLPE line. Compatibility is always concentration- and temperature-specific, so verify your exact chemical against the OEM chemical-resistance chart and our Chemical Compatibility Database before committing. Note that the standard penetrations ship in PE; the fitting and gasket materials below are what the chemical demands, so any bulkhead requiring PVC, PP, 316SS, or a Viton gasket must be specified or upgraded at order. Common chemicals this XLPE/1.9 SG build supports include: Acetic Acid at 60% (PP/PVC fittings, EPDM gasket; acetic acid), Aluminum Sulfate at 50% (PVC, EPDM; aluminum sulfate), Calcium Chloride at 40% (PVC, EPDM; calcium chloride), DEF at 32.5% (316SS fittings, EPDM gasket; DEF), Ethylene Glycol at 100% (PVC, EPDM; ethylene glycol), Ferric Chloride at 50% (PVC, EPDM; ferric chloride), Ferric Sulfate at 60% (PVC, EPDM; ferric sulfate), Ferrous Sulfate at 20% (PVC, EPDM; ferrous sulfate), Hydrofluosilicic Acid at 26% (PP/PVC fittings, Viton gasket; hydrofluosilicic acid), Magnesium Chloride at 30% (PVC, EPDM; magnesium chloride), Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM; polyaluminum chloride), Potassium Carbonate at 50% (PVC, EPDM; potassium carbonate), Potassium Hydroxide saturated (PVC, EPDM; potassium hydroxide), Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS fittings, EPDM; propylene glycol), Sodium Carbonate at 30% (PVC, EPDM; sodium carbonate), Sodium Thiosulfate at 40% (PVC, EPDM; sodium thiosulfate), Urea Solution at 50% (PP/PVC, EPDM; urea solution), and Ozonated Water up to 10 PPM (PVC fittings, EPDM gasket). For DEF and urea or ozonated service, the gasket and fitting metallurgy noted above are not optional details, they are the difference between a sealed system and a slow failure at the bulkhead.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a double-wall chemical tank is matching the fitting and gasket to the tank instead of to the chemical. The XLPE shell handles a wide range, but a fitting in the wrong polymer or a gasket in EPDM where the chemical demands Viton (as with hydrofluosilicic acid here) is where leaks start. Specify each penetration to your specific chemical, and if your application runs at a different concentration or temperature than listed, confirm against the OEM chart first.
