Snyder Industries 2650 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

The low tank for a low ceiling

At 97 inches tall this tank clears a ceiling that most tanks of its volume would not, and it pays for that with a 102 inch circle on the floor. Measure to the lowest joist, not the ceiling. Crosslinking ties the polymer chains of the wall together, which gives it more resistance to stress cracking and to many chemicals than a standard linear polyethylene wall, so this is the material to choose when the liquid is harder on plastic than water is, even at the standard 1.5 rating. A rotationally moulded tank carries its load on the whole floor, so up to 33,150 lb bears on the full 102 inch circle. Pour the slab to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, with a berm where the liquid is regulated. Strap the empty tank to structure or to anchors in the slab the day it lands; 510 lb of shell on a wide base is stable in a breeze but not in a storm. Run the volume against your draw and your delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator and take the freeboard advice from the tank sizing guide.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Polyethylene suits water, most liquid fertilizers and many common chemicals, and the crosslinked wall widens that list. The 1.5 rating covers liquids up to one and a half times the weight of water. If yours is heavier, or warmer than 140 F in service, tell us; Snyder makes this same shell in a heavy duty wall.
2. The outlet. This page lists the manway, not a bottom fitting. Tell us the liquid and the draw-off you want and we will confirm what this tank takes, in what size and material, before anything is drilled.
3. The manway. 18 inch threaded and vented, 97 inches off the pad. A tied-off platform ladder reaches it; a fixed platform is better if anyone opens it weekly. Bring the fill line to the manway.
4. The drawing. Snyder's drawing for this tank is linked under Technical Drawing on this page and shows the manway position and the base.

Sizes and shapes nearby

Snyder makes this shell in several walls. If the liquid is dense, the heavy duty crosslinked version of this same tank is rated higher; ask us for it by size. Other 2,650 gallon tanks: the 2650 gallon heavy duty vertical tank 8390000C26, the 2650 gallon black heavy duty vertical tank and the 2650 gallon vertical tank 8390000C37. One step down: the 2500 gallon heavy duty vertical tank 5090000C26. One step up: the 3000 gallon black heavy duty vertical tank 5130000C34. Pick the shape by the room, then the wall by the liquid.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 400, 102 by 102 by 97 inches on a skid, 510 lb, from Snyder's plant at Marked Tree, Arkansas. At 102 inches across it fills the full width of the trailer, so the lane is priced by the route as much as the miles. The listed price is before freight; the freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP. Unload with a forklift and straps under the body, never a sling through the manway. At the tailgate, check the part number against 8390000N40 on the bill of lading and walk round the base for transit damage. Fill it with water the first time, let it stand, and look at the pad edge and the base fitting before the working liquid goes in.
