Snyder Industries 275 Gallon XLPE Chemical Feed Station Tank with Stand

The only 275 that arrives standing

Further down this family a stand can be had in either wall material. At 275 gallons the sheet gives one standing part, and this is it, so the family decision here is simpler and starker than it is further down the range: if you want 275 gallons with the tank lifted, this is the part, and if you do not want it lifted you are choosing between the two floor-mounted 275s at 59 inches. Buy the stand for one reason above all others, which is the pump. A metering pump fed from a lifted tank draws from a flooded suction instead of pulling a lift, it holds prime through the batch, the drain runs to a carboy or a sump without a transfer pump, and the underside of the vessel is somewhere you can see rather than somewhere you find out about. Against that, the station is listed at 76 inches, so the lid is above head height and the route in has to clear it, and the listed plan is 72 by 62 inches where the floor-mounted parts are 76 by 62, which is worth confirming with us before a kerb or a bund is poured to a fixed size. No sheet in this family publishes a stand height on its own, a stand load rating or a frame material, so none is stated here. Set it on a flat, level, continuous surface carrying the whole base and anchor the frame before the first fill; 2,294 pounds of water and 4,358 pounds at the rating stand higher on this part than on any other 275 in the group. Size the working volume against your dosing rate and delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and freeboard from the tank sizing guide.

The 275 trio, and the acid-service 330 above it

Three 275 gallon parts, and the top row is the one that stands. Rows two and three are the same floor-mounted shell in two walls, listed identically at 76 by 62 by 59 inches and 226 pounds. The honest reading of the table is that this standing part is listed on a different plan and at a different weight from the floor-mounted pair, and that the sheet does not say why; if your layout depends on the exact plan, confirm it with us before the concrete is poured. Below the trio, SII-5730103CF42 holds 250 gallons at 69 inches and 209 pounds, which is taller than the floor-mounted 275s and lighter, again as the sheet gives it. Above them, SII-5750103CF30 is a 330 gallon station the maker names for sulfuric acid with a containment basin, listed at 76 by 62 by 68 inches and 238 pounds; that is Snyder's own naming and this page asserts nothing beyond it about concentration, temperature or service. If acid is your duty, start the conversation with the chemical and the strength you actually run and let the tank follow from that.

Top layout inside a 72 by 62 inch plan

• The air path first: this sheet names no vent fitting, so the 18 inch lid is the only opening it publishes and it breathes as well as fills. On a station standing 76 inches that opening is the least convenient part of the tank to check, which is exactly why it belongs on the inspection round. A pump drawing against a closed top pulls the wall in.
• Getting the top right the first time: fill, vent path, level device and any return line all compete for one 72 by 62 inch top, and rearranging them later means draining the station. The top fitting placement guide sets out the order to decide them in, and it is an hour well spent before anything is drilled.
• Filling at height: the lid is above head height on a level floor at 76 inches, so bring the fill to a coupling at working level, sample from a dedicated point, and give anyone opening the lid a platform with a rail rather than a boot on the frame.
• What the stand is for: the low point stands clear, so the pump sits underneath on its own base with a short falling suction run and keeps a flooded prime. The sheet lists no outlet or inlet size, so we confirm the fitting on your part before pipework is fabricated instead of printing one it does not give.
• Level device: choose it for the chemistry rather than the catalogue with the level gauge selection guide, and put it where the operator stands, not where the pipe fitter found room.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C, the only limit this sheet publishes, and it carries no warranty term.

Every pipe, valve and instrument is carried on its own support off the floor, never on the tank or the frame, with a flexible connector at the first joint. Tell us the chemical when you order and the wetted parts are matched to it.

Pump-fed dosing where the floor is the constraint

A standing station goes in where the pump has to be under the tank and the room has height to spare: hypochlorite, caustic or acid feed at a water or wastewater plant, polymer and coagulant ahead of a clarifier, cooling water treatment at a campus plant, a day tank beside a process line in a food, paper or finishing works, a dosing point in a small chemical building at a mine or a generating station. The tank is the cheap part of that system and the pump is the part that gets replaced, so a station that keeps the suction flooded and the drain reachable pays for its own height over a few years rather than a few months. Keep the label current the day the chemical changes.

Rated chemistries for this tank

The manufacturer lists these liquids for this resin at the concentrations noted, with the fitting and gasket material to specify. Check the concentration and temperature you actually run on the linked page or in the chemical compatibility database before ordering.

• DEF (32.5%, 316SS fittings, EPDM) and
• Urea Solution (50%, PP/PVC, EPDM) each need only a 1.35-SG tank, while
• Acetic Acid (60%, PP/PVC, EPDM)
• Aluminum Sulfate (50%, PVC, EPDM)
• Calcium Chloride (40%, PVC, EPDM)
• Magnesium Chloride (30%, PVC, EPDM)
• Ferrous Sulfate (20%, PVC, EPDM)
• Sodium Carbonate (30%, PVC, EPDM), and Ozonated Water (up to 10 PPM, PVC, EPDM) call for 1.35-1.9 SG.
• Ethylene Glycol (100%, PVC, EPDM)
• Ferric Chloride (50%, PVC, EPDM)
• Ferric Sulfate (60%, PVC, EPDM)
• Hydrofluosilicic Acid (26%, PP/PVC, Viton)
• Polyaluminum Chloride (PVC, EPDM)
• Potassium Carbonate (50%, PVC, EPDM)
• Potassium Hydroxide (saturated, PVC, EPDM)
• Propylene Glycol (PP/316SS, EPDM), and
• Sodium Thiosulfate (40%, PVC, EPDM) each require a 1.9-SG tank, so do not under-buy.Watch the gasket metals and elastomers: DEF wants 316 stainless, and Hydro

Reading the sheet before the truck is booked

Marked Tree, Arkansas is the plant, the freight class is given as LTL under NMFC 156600-01, and the station is listed at 72 by 62 by 76 inches and 150 pounds. Two things follow from that. The height has to clear the door, the aisle and anything hanging over the last few feet, so walk the route before the delivery is scheduled. And because this part's listed plan and weight sit differently from the floor-mounted 275s, confirm the dimensions with us before you pour a kerb or fabricate a bund to a fixed size. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP and the listed price is before freight. Take it off the truck under the base with a forklift, never by the lid and never with a sling around the body, set it on the finished floor, anchor the frame, water-fill it once and hold it while you read the base, the lid seal and the floor around the feet, then drain it dry. When the station is finally standing where it will live, measure it yourself and write the numbers on the drawing; the drawing is what the next person will believe. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
