Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

A bulk day tank for a treatment room

2,500 gallons on a 90 inch circle at 107 inches tall is a common bulk size for a water or wastewater plant, a metal finishing line or a farm chemical shed: enough to take a partial tanker load, low enough to fit most mechanical rooms. The 1.9 wall is for concentrated acids, ferric and alum coagulants, heavy brines and the dense, aggressive liquids a 1.5 rated tank is not built for. Cross-linked polyethylene resists stress cracking and impact better than linear resin; our guide to when cross-linking matters for chemistry duty explains where the line falls. Check the liquid in our chemical compatibility guide before you order, and ask us about anything not listed. Full at the rating, the tank puts 39,615 lb on a 90 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on the whole slab, so the pad is sized per our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, inside secondary containment where the liquid is regulated. Anchor the empty tank before the first fill, indoors or out. For a water reserve instead, the fire water reservoir design guide applies. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide check 2,500 gallons against your delivery size and the headspace a dense liquid needs as it warms.

Openings and fittings, and what to confirm before you buy

1. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, 107 inches off the pad. Plan a platform or a rolling stair, and vent outdoors for a liquid that fumes.
2. Outlet and fittings. Tell us the outlet size, thread, material and position you need and the chemical going through it. We confirm what 5090000N48 ships with and what Snyder can add at the plant.
3. Drawing. Snyder's drawing for this shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page; set pipe runs from it before the pad is poured.
4. Temperature. 140 F (60 C) is the service limit. Exothermic dilutions and heated lines need a check against it.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, whichever is nearer your ZIP, as one piece of freight 90 by 90 by 107 inches weighing 560 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Have a forklift with long forks or straps and a loader at the site; this is not a liftgate delivery. At arrival, check the part number against 5090000N48 on the bill of lading, walk the shell for transit damage before signing, and fill it with water the first time before it carries anything else.
