Snyder Industries 4000 Gallon Sulfuric Acid Double Wall Tank

Where it goes

This is bulk acid storage for a plant that takes deliveries rather than drums: pH control at a water or wastewater plant, acid supply for fertilizer or chemical blending, process feed at an industrial site. The 102 inch footprint fits a chemical room wall or a small outdoor pad, and the 178 inch height goes under many high bay roofs. The double wall answers the containment question in the tank itself, which saves the dike and the floor area a dike takes. Our double wall walkthrough for SPCC compliance covers the paperwork side.

The name says sulfuric acid; the strength is not published against this part number, so give us the concentration and the operating temperature and we will confirm the tank with Snyder. For other liquids, start with our chemical compatibility guide. Leave freeboard above the working level, and read the double wall freeboard sizing guide before you count on all 4,000 gallons. The tank sizing calculator and tank sizing guide match the size to your usage.

Install order, start to finish

1. Pad first. A full tank at the rating puts over thirty tons on a 102 inch circle. Have the slab designed, poured and cured before the tank ships; our guide to concrete pad sizing for above ground polyethylene tanks is the reference.
2. Fittings at order. No factory outlet is listed. Decide the outlet, fill and instrument connections and tell us before the order, because fittings on a double wall tank pass through both walls and are installed at the factory.
3. Manway. The 18 inch threaded vented manway on top takes the fill line, a level transmitter and inspection access. Opaque white hides the level, so plan the instrument.
4. Set and test. Set it level, fill it with water, and check every fitting before the first acid delivery.
5. Drawing. Snyder's drawing, linked under Technical Drawing on this page, gives the dimensions and manway position for the layout.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships from Snyder's Lincoln, Nebraska plant at 102 by 102 by 178 inches and 3200 lb, freight class 250. The online estimator does not price a tank this wide, so call 866-418-1777 for freight with the ZIP and the unloading equipment you will have on site. The listed price is before freight. Lift with slings, never by the manway. At delivery, check the part number against 5610000N30 on the bill of lading and walk the outer wall for transit damage before you sign.
