Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Metal finishers, plating shops and pretreatment rooms buy this tank for acid and caustic at strength, because the pretreatment room was sized for the process and the tank has to fit a 90 inch circle. The 1.9 rating is what makes that pairing safe; a standard wall in this shell would be over its limit before it was full. Full at the rating it puts 47,538 lb on that small circle, a heavy load for the area, so the slab is poured level and in full contact with the whole tank floor; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design, and acid goes inside a berm. A tall, narrow tank is strapped to structure while it is empty and checked after the first month. Whether your chemistry needs crosslinked resin or a linear wall at the same rating is the question our XLPE versus HDPE guide answers. Size the volume against your demand 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 an acid wall for it.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.9 specific gravity and 140 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. Mount the metering pump below the outlet so the suction stays flooded, fit a low-level float so it never draws air, carry the first valve on its own support, and connect to hard pipe through a flexible connector; a slim tank moves a little as it fills.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 127 inches up, opened from a platform with a rail. Fill through a dip tube to the floor and run the vent outdoors. A Snyder drawing for the 5130000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Sizes nearby

Three other walls share this slim shell: the 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank for a dense chemical that must stay dark, the 3000 gallon black tank and the 3000 gallon 1.35 SG black tank for thinner liquids. Lower and wider: the 2650 gallon heavy duty tank. In white, one step up: the 3500 gallon white vertical tank.

Shipping and receiving

The 5130000N42 ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, whichever is nearer, strapped to a skid at 90 by 90 by 127 inches and 710 lb. The freight cost estimator gives the lane cost to your ZIP; the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets it with straps under the body, never through the manway, and the straps to structure go on the same day. Check the part number 5130000N42 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 first acid.
