Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Vertical Storage Tank

Eight feet each way

With the diameter and the height within inches of each other, this shell is the easy one to place: eight feet of slab, eight feet two inches to the manway, no ladder beyond a tall step, and the fill line and vent clear a normal ceiling. It suits a barn bay, a wash-down room, a greenhouse header tank or a bermed pad beside a building. The 1.5 wall covers water, rainwater, liquid fertilizer and the common farm and treatment liquids polyethylene handles. For a brine, a concentrate or anything denser than 1.5 times water, use the heavy duty 1.9 rated version of this shell, which we also list. Crosslinked polyethylene gives more chemistry margin than ordinary polyethylene; for anything beyond water and fertilizer, check the liquid in the chemical compatibility guide first.

Full of water the tank puts 20,850 lb on an eight foot circle, bearing on the whole floor, so the slab must be level and in full contact. Build it to our concrete pad sizing guide and anchor the tank while it is empty. Leave freeboard for thermal expansion rather than filling to the rim; our note on freeboard sizing and the real volume you can actually use has the method. If the tank is one stage in a rainwater, grey water or condensate reuse system, our guide to industrial water reuse tank layout covers how the storage train is sequenced. For a fire water reserve, read the fire water reservoir design guide. Size the order with the tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide.
