Snyder Industries 250 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank

The stand and the wall, chosen together

Take the stand 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 under the vessel before a weep becomes a puddle. Take the cross-linked wall when the chemistry is aggressive or the service is hard, or when your specification already calls for it. Take both, which is this part, when the duty is a demanding chemical dosed every hour of the day. What the combination asks in return is clearance and an anchor. Eighty-six inches has to pass a doorway and clear a duct on the way to the chemical room, so measure the route before the truck is booked. Set the stand on a flat, level, continuous surface carrying the whole 76 by 62 inch base and fix it before the first fill rather than after the first vibration; 2085 lb of water stands higher here than anywhere else in the 250 gallon line. Confirm the working volume in the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

What goes in it

Check the chemical in our chemical compatibility guide before the order. Buyers of the cross-linked 250 look up ferric chloride, ferrous sulfate, potassium hydroxide and sodium thiosulfate most. Hold it at or below 120 F and under 1.9 specific gravity. On a lifted tank the level is read from the floor, not through the lid, so the level gauge selection guide for chemical service is worth ten minutes, and the labelling and signage guide covers the placards and pipe marking the room will need.

Openings and what to confirm

1. Lid. 14 inches on top, at 86 inches once the tank is on its stand. Plan a fill line or a platform.
2. Outlet. Not listed for this part number. Give us the pump suction size and we confirm before shipping.
3. Stand. Included. Snyder publishes no separate stand height or load rating here; the assembly is 86 inches and 253 lb.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for 5730104CFWS-42 is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The 250 gallon family

The same stand-mounted station in linear polyethylene is the 250 gallon chemical feed station, part 5730104CFWS45. The floor-standing versions are the 250 gallon XLPE station, part 5730103CF42 and the 250 gallon linear polyethylene station, part 5730103CF45. One size down is the 200 gallon XLPE feed station; one up is the 275 gallon XLPE feed station. Where containment is part of the scope, the Snyder Captor containment comparison is where that gets argued honestly.

Shipping and receiving

LTL from Snyder's Marked Tree, Arkansas plant, 76 by 62 by 86 inches and 253 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the cost to your ZIP. Check 5730104CFWS-42 against the bill of lading, inspect the stand and the lid, and water-test before the chemical goes in.
