Snyder Industries 3900 Gallon Heavy Duty Cone Bottom Tank

Where it goes to work

A 3,900 gallon cone is a common size for a treatment plant or an industrial site that takes a chemical by the truckload and meters it out. The heavy duty wall lets that chemical be denser than water, up to 1.9 times its weight, and the cone drains it completely when it is time to clean the tank or switch products. At 180 inches tall on a 90 inch circle it fits a standard chemical pad without towering over the building.

The chemicals buyers of this tank check most in our chemical compatibility guide are sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and sodium hypochlorite. Look up yours before ordering; the specific gravity on the SDS tells you whether it needs this wall. If it is 1.5 or less, the standard wall version of this shell, which we also list, does the job. Water, fertilizer and DEF rarely need heavy duty.

Setting it up

1. Stand. A cone needs a stand rated for the full weight of the liquid; it is a separate purchase. Our cone bottom stand compatibility matrix shows how stands pair with Snyder tanks. We can put the stand on the same order; just ask.
2. Outlet. No outlet fitting is listed for this tank. Tell us the drain size and valve material for your chemical and we confirm the fitting at the cone with Snyder.
3. Level. A black wall hides the level, and chemical service usually needs a reading you can trust from the ground. Our level gauge selection guide compares radar, ultrasonic, hydrostatic and magnetostrictive gauges.
4. Markings. A chemical tank needs the right labels; see our guide to tank labels and signage.
5. Containment. Our Snyder Captor containment comparison sets out the options.

Shipping and receiving

It ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's Lincoln, NE plant, 90 by 90 by 180 inches at 1,400 lb. The freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP. Stand it up with a crane or a forklift that has the reach, and keep a crew on tag lines. Check 5440000N51 on the bill of lading, look over the cone and the manway before you sign, and fill it with water the first time, in its stand, so any leak shows before a chemical goes in.
