Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

This is the 3,000 gallon tank for a site with height to spare and floor to save: a chemical alley, a corner of a pump house, a bay where a wide tank blocks the aisle. Hypochlorite, sanitizer, a thin process chemical or plain water are the normal loads at the 1.5 rating. Full of water it puts 25,020 lb on a 90 inch circle, so the slab is poured level and in full contact with the whole tank floor; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design. A tall, narrow tank is strapped to structure while it is empty. Because the wall is translucent, keep light-sensitive liquids indoors or in shade. Check the volume against your draw and delivery interval with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. Where the tank sits in a reuse train, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a slim 3,000 fits; for a fire reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide first.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.5 specific gravity and 140 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide; for acid or caustic at strength, ask us about the heavy duty wall of the same shell.
2. The outlet. Tell us the liquid and the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. Mount the pump below the outlet so the suction stays flooded, put 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, 127 inches up, opened from a platform with a rail. Fill through a dip tube to the floor and keep the lid shut between deliveries. 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 tank for liquids that must stay dark, the 3000 gallon 1.35 SG black tank, and the 3000 gallon black heavy duty tank for dense chemicals. Lower and wider: the 2650 gallon heavy duty tank. In white, one step up: the 3500 gallon white vertical tank.

Shipping and receiving

The 5130000N40 ships LTL at freight class 400 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 575 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 5130000N40 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, before anything else goes in.
