Snyder Industries 290 Gallon Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

The outdoor day tank

A chemical feed at a well site or a remote pump station rarely has a building, and a white tank on a pad in the open ages from the outside and grows green inside; a black one does neither. The price of a black wall is that it runs warmer in the sun than a white one, which matters for a liquid that must stay cool and argues for a shade roof over the pad, and it shows no level line, so the sender does that work. The 1.9 wall on top of that covers the dense chemicals a tote does. Full at the rating it puts 4,595 pounds on a 36 inch circle: a level slab per the concrete pad sizing guide, inside a berm when the liquid is regulated, and strapped to a post at the top third, because six feet of empty polyethylene on a three foot base is a sail. The tank sizing calculator turns feed rate and delivery interval into a volume, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve to keep the pump wet between deliveries.

The 290 in every grade, and its neighbors

The C26 is this tank in white for indoors, where seeing the level through the wall is worth more than a wall that shrugs off sun. The N42 is the cross-linked one for hypochlorite and peroxide, and the N48 the other chemical grade. The 5740100N42 lays 275 gallons down to 59 inches on a 47 inch base in the cross-linked resin, and the 1011200C26 stands 300 gallons on a 35 inch base at 82 inches.

Fittings, and reading a black tank

• Outlet: 2 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base; a flexible connector to hard pipe, the valve supported off the pad, and the reducer to the pump's suction at the pump.
• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 72 inches up, reached from a step; fill from a tote or a truck through a dip tube, and vent outside on anything that fumes.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

A black wall hides the level, so this tank gets a sender read at ground level or a sight tube off the outlet as part of the install, not as an afterthought, and a low-level float shuts the pump off before it draws air. Mount the pump below the outlet so it primes by gravity, keep the manway closed against vapor loss and rain, and label the tank so whoever comes to the site after you reads the same thing. Where it freezes, wrap or trace the outlet valve and the first pipe run; the body takes ice from the top down without harm, and a black wall thaws first in the morning sun.

Sites without a roof

A well site's chlorine or acid feed on an open pad, a chemical tank at a lift station, the coagulant supply at a package plant in the open, a spray-mix supply on a farm, and a water tank for a remote cabin or a job site where algae would otherwise take it in a month. If the liquid is one that warrants a second wall, the Captor double wall freeboard guide explains what a contained tank gives up in usable volume at this size. A fire reserve is a bigger tank's job, as the fire-water reservoir design guide makes plain, and where a reuse system needs a small tank on the treatment stage, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where it sits.

What the carrier needs from you

The 1013000C34 ships from Philippi, West Virginia as LTL freight at class 300; the freight cost estimator quotes it to your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. One person carries 80 pounds and stands it on the pad. Fill it with water to the manway once and look at the outlet fitting for a weep, then drain and dry before the chemical goes in; on an outdoor tank, check the strap after the first windy week, because a full tank and an empty one move differently. Tape a copy of the spec sheet inside the control panel door; the next person to touch the tank will not have the box it came in.
