Snyder Industries 3000 Gallon HDPE Vertical Liquid Storage Tank with ASTM Certification

Three thousand gallons at the lightest rated wall

A 1.35 specific gravity rating is the step between the water wall and the middle grade: alum and most fertilizer solutions come in lighter than that, so this tank carries them with margin at the least resin of the rated walls in this shell. Rotationally molded polyethylene tanks are sized to ASTM D1998, and the way a tank meets the density it is rated for is in the wall; the HDPE tank wall thickness guide explains the sizing logic and why the headspace is where a wall ages. Full, it puts 35,028 pounds on a 90 inch circle at the rating, which a slab in full contact carries, with the empty tank strapped against wind. Our 3,000 gallon vertical tank buyers guide compares the shapes at this volume across makers; the tank sizing calculator tells you whether 3,000 gallons covers the draw, and the tank sizing guide covers days of supply.

Grades on the 90 x 127 inch tank, and the sizes beside it

The N43 is the 1.5 wall in this same shell, 65 pounds heavier, for coagulants and brines as delivered; the 5130000 tanks are the general grades, the C37-BLACK in black for sun and the N33 a lighter linear grade. The 8390000C26 lays 2,650 gallons down to 97 inches on a 102 inch base, and the 32288 is the water tank at 3,500 gallons on a 96 inch base at this height.

Bulkheads and lid

• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 127 inches up; filled by hose, tote pump or truck through a dip tube, vented outside on anything that fumes, and size the vent for the delivery pump.
• Outlet: name the liquid when ordering so the bulkhead fitting matches it; a flexible connector between the bulkhead and the hard pipe, with the valve carried on its own support.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

The white wall shows the level in daylight; fit a sender read at ground level so nobody climbs for a number, and a float switch for low level protects a pump. The pump sits below the outlet so it primes by gravity; the manway stays closed; a light-sensitive liquid stays out of the sun. If winters freeze, wrap or drain the outlet valve and the first pipe run; the body takes ice from the top down without harm.

Bringing in the chemical

A delivery truck's pump can push air out faster than a stock vent can pass it, so the vent is sized for the unload rate or the fill goes through a dedicated top bulkhead with its own vent line. Run the fill pipe to the floor so the liquid does not free-fall and foam. Nobody walks away during the first fill: the slab edge and the outlet fitting are checked as the level climbs, and every delivery after that goes in the log with a date and a strength.

Day-to-day duty

Alum and fertilizer solution at farms and small plants, well storage for a house, a barn and a garden, a rain cistern under a large roof, stock water on a pasture, and a fire reserve of the kind the fire-water reservoir design guide describes. One liquid per tank, labeled.

From the plant to your site

At 90 inches across and 127 inches long on the deck the 8160000N39 ships as oversize freight at a lane rate rather than a class rate; the freight cost estimator prices it for your ZIP, and the listed price is before freight. A forklift with long forks sets 610 pounds on the pad. Fill it to the manway once, hold it, and check the outlet fitting before the pump goes on. Once it is full and holding, leave it alone for a day before the plumbing goes on; a settled tank is a quiet one.
