The Snyder Industries 250 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank is built for bulk chemical metering and day-tank duty, molded in cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) and rated to a 1.9 specific gravity. Common services this XLPE tank covers include DEF, urea solution, glycols, and the coagulant and acid set used in water treatment. The 1.9 rating is the number that matters when you store dense chemistries: at 250 gallons this tank holds 2,085 pounds of plain water, but it is engineered for contents up to 3,962 pounds, so heavy acids and concentrated salts stay within the design limit rather than overloading the wall. It stands 69 inches tall on a 62 by 76 inch footprint, in white.
Will it work for your application?
This is a Snyder chemical feed station tank in XLPE, the resin family chosen for aggressive oxidizers and concentrated chemistries where standard cross-link polyethylene earns its keep. Use the full and rated weights above when you plan the pad and tie-downs: size for the actual product density, not just gallons, and confirm your structure carries the loaded weight before fill. The 1.9 SG rating is the ceiling, and it covers essentially every aqueous treatment chemical on the list below; if your product exceeds 1.9 SG, call before ordering. If you are still deciding between capacities, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk you through matching volume and footprint to your space and feed rate.
Chemical compatibility
This tank is cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) with a 1.9 specific gravity rating. Compatibility is always concentration- and temperature-specific, so confirm your exact service against the OEM chemical-resistance chart before ordering fittings or gaskets. Based on that chart, this XLPE tank is suitable for chemistries including acetic acid (60%), aluminum sulfate (50%), calcium chloride (40%), DEF (32.5%), ethylene glycol (100%), ferric chloride (50%), ferric sulfate (60%), ferrous sulfate (20%), hydrofluosilicic acid (26%), magnesium chloride (30%), polyaluminum chloride, potassium carbonate (50%), potassium hydroxide (saturated), propylene glycol, sodium carbonate (30%), sodium thiosulfate (40%), and urea solution (50%). Ozonated water up to 10 PPM is also covered (see the Chemical Compatibility Database). Match the fitting and gasket material to the chemistry: most of these run PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets; acetic acid and urea solution call for PP/PVC with EPDM; hydrofluosilicic acid specifically requires PP/PVC with a Viton gasket, not EPDM; DEF requires 316 stainless with EPDM, not PVC; and propylene glycol runs polypropylene or 316 stainless with EPDM. Cross-check your full list of chemicals in the Chemical Compatibility Database before you commit to a fitting and gasket package.
The mistake to avoid
The costly error on a chemical feed tank is sizing to gallons instead of weight. A 1.9 SG product fills this 250-gallon tank to nearly its 3,962-pound rated contents weight, far above the 2,085 pounds of water it would hold, so a pad or stand built for "250 gallons of water" can be badly undersized. Verify the specific gravity of your actual product and plan the foundation and anchoring to the rated contents weight. The second trap is the gasket: EPDM covers most of the list above, but hydrofluosilicic acid needs Viton, and DEF needs 316 stainless fittings rather than PVC; the wrong elastomer or metal fails long before the tank does. For instrumentation and compliance, the level-gauge selection guide, the label and signage compliance guide, the chemical sampling protocol, and the Captor Plus containment comparison cover the details that keep a feed station compliant and safe.
