Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Buy this tank when the liquid is heavy, light-sensitive and the room is low. At 96 inches it stands under an 8 foot ceiling with the manway reachable from a step, the 1.9 rating covers acids, coagulants and brines, and the black wall keeps light off a chemical that loses strength to it. Full at the rating it puts 47,538 lb on a 102 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on all of it, so the slab is poured level and in full contact; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design, and a regulated chemical goes inside a berm. Eight feet tall on an eight and a half foot base is a stable shape, but strap it anyway; a chemical room has a door and a forklift. Black runs warmer than white, so shade it if the chemical must stay cool. Where a reuse system doses a dense chemical between its stages, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a low 3,000 belongs. Check the volume against your dose and delivery interval with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. For a fire reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide before buying a chemical wall for it.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.9 specific gravity and 120 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide and name the chemical and concentration when you order so every wetted part of the fitting matches it.
2. The outlet. Give us the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. On a low tank the suction head is short, so mount the pump below the outlet on the containment floor, fit a low-level float, carry the first valve on its own support, and connect to hard pipe through a flexible connector.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 96 inches up, reached from a step. Fill through a dip tube to the floor and run the vent outdoors on anything that fumes. A Snyder drawing for the 7410000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

The same 3,000 gallons on a slimmer, taller shell: the 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank, the 3000 gallon black tank and the 3000 gallon 1.35 SG black tank. A little smaller on nearly the same footprint: the 2650 gallon heavy duty tank. In white, one step up: the 3500 gallon white vertical tank.

Shipping and receiving

The 7410000N51 ships LTL at freight class 300 from the nearest of Snyder's plants in Chowchilla, CA, Lincoln, NE and Philippi, WV, strapped to a skid at 102 by 102 by 96 inches and 660 lb. A tank this wide is an oversize load, so if the estimator hands you to the phone, call us with the ZIP. Measure the door before the truck comes: 102 inches across goes through a roll-up door, not a man door. A forklift sets it with straps under the body, never through the manway. Check the part number 7410000N51 on the bill of lading, look over the shell for transit damage, and fill it with water first, holding it a day while you watch the pad edge and the outlet fitting, then drain and dry it before the chemical arrives.
