Snyder Industries 2500 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Twenty-five hundred gallons on a 90 inch circle is the farm and small plant workhorse: the liquid fertilizer tank beside the sprayer fill, the water reserve at a poultry house or a cattle barn, the rinse water tank at a gin or a processor, the week of treatment chemical at a small water system. At just under nine feet it stands under a shed eave or inside a steel building, and the 90 inch shell fits a small containment and rides any flatbed. Snyder lists a second 2,500 gallon black vertical tank; this one is moulded in Arkansas, which is the short lane for the Mid-South and the Gulf. The floor carries the load: a rotationally moulded tank bears on its whole floor, so the circle takes all 20,850 lb of water and more at the rating. Engineer the pad to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, with containment where the liquid is regulated, and strap the tank before the first fill; a Gulf wind on nine feet of empty black cylinder is enough to walk it. For a fire reserve, read fire water reservoir design for rural and remote sites; for collected water, industrial water reuse tank topology. Check the volume against the draw and the delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator and take reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

Openings and fittings

1. Outlet. A 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting low in the wall. Two inches suits a transfer pump and a hose fill; for fast gravity loading of a sprayer, ask us about the outlet at order. Fit a flexible connector to hard pipe and carry the first valve on a support off the pad, so the wall carries liquid and not hardware.
2. Manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway on top, for the fill hose, a float and a brush. Keep the vent clear; the pump draws air through it.
3. Liquid and temperature. Polyethylene handles water, most fertilizers and many common chemicals to 120 F. Check anything aggressive with us before the order; a liquid heavier than 1.5 times water needs a heavy duty wall, not this tank.
4. Drawing. Snyder's drawing, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, gives the outlet position and the footprint.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 400 from Snyder's plant in Marked Tree, AR, 90 by 90 by 107 inches on the deck and 450 lb. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Unload with a loader with long forks and slings under the body, never through the manway, onto the cured pad, and strap it down. Check 8140000C37-BLACK on the bill of lading, walk the shell for transit damage, then fill with water the first time and watch the pad before it carries anything else.
