Snyder's 1.9 rated 2,500 gallon chemical tank
The Snyder 5090300N45 is a 2,500 gallon white polyethylene chemical storage tank built for dense liquids: 96 inches in diameter, 98 inches tall, 620 pounds empty, with a wall rated for a specific gravity of 1.9. That rating means 39,615 pounds of contents at full, against 20,850 for the same volume of water, and it is what a treatment plant's caustic, ferric or alum needs. The 98 inch height keeps the tank under most chemical room ceilings, and it stands on an 8 foot circle.

What 620 pounds of resin buys
Compare the weights in the table below and the point of the 5090300N45 is clear: it carries 170 to 195 more pounds of polyethylene than the 90 inch tanks of the same volume, and that resin is all wall thickness. A 1.9 wall holds sodium hydroxide at delivered strength, ferric chloride, ferric and aluminum sulfate and sulfuric acid at most concentrations without creep. The list below is the resin's rated chemistry; the chemical compatibility database gives the rating for your liquid at its concentration, which is a different question from the weight. The 2,500 gallon vertical tank buyers guide compares the class across makers and ratings.
Ratings across the 2,500 gallon shapes
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5090300N45 (this tank, 1.9 SG) | 2,500 | 96 x 98 in | 620 lb |
| 5090000N39 (1.35 SG) | 2,500 | 90 x 107 in | 425 lb |
| 5090000C34 | 2,500 | 90 x 107 in | 450 lb |
| 5050000C26 | 2,000 | 90 x 88 in | 340 lb |
| 8390000C26 | 2,650 | 102 x 97 in | 510 lb |
If the liquid is under 1.35 specific gravity, the 5090000N39 does the job with 195 fewer pounds of resin on a base 6 inches narrower and a shell 9 inches taller. If the room is low and the liquid is water or close to it, the 8390000C26 puts 2,650 gallons at 97 inches on a 102 inch base. The 5090300N45 is the one for the liquid that is heavy.

Openings and instrumentation
- Outlet: 2 inch, at the bottom of the sidewall; hard-pipe through a flanged transition and an expansion joint, valve supported off the slab.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway; vent it to the outside on caustic and acid service.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Choose the level sender for the chemical with the level gauge selection guide; caustic and ferric each rule out some wetted materials. Size the containment to the tank: a berm around a 96 inch tank is a large one, and the Snyder Captor 110 percent containment comparison shows where a double wall tank is the smaller and cheaper footprint. The tank sizing calculator sizes the volume to feed rate and delivery interval, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve.
Put to use
Bulk caustic, coagulant and acid storage at water and wastewater plants; reagent storage on a process floor; and any 2,500 gallon vessel where the liquid is denser than water and the tank has to be right for decades. Fill through a dip tube to the floor so a tanker unload does not splash the lid, and keep the vent line clear of the pump's electrical gear.
Freight for a 2,500 gallon tank
The 5090300N45 is oversize freight (NMFC 156600) at 96 inches across, on a flatbed at a lane rate the freight cost estimator prices for your ZIP; the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks lifts 620 pounds onto the pad. Water-fill in stages with a hold, then drain and dry before the chemical delivery, and check the outlet fitting after the hold.
