Snyder Industries 4100 Gallon Black Vertical Storage Tank

Out of West Virginia, most of the East in a day's drive

Freight is the part of a big tank's price nobody sees until the quote, and it is set by distance and by how much of a trailer the tank takes. At 102 inches across and 130 long on the deck this tank takes the full width and most of a flatbed's length, so the lane matters more than it does on a pallet of fittings: a plant east of the Mississippi is buying from the nearest of Snyder's plants when it buys this molding, and the freight cost estimator prices that lane to your ZIP before you commit. Full at the rating the tank puts 51,291 pounds on an eight and a half foot circle, and a rotationally molded floor bears on all of it, so the pad is a slab in full contact designed per the concrete pad sizing guide, inside a berm sized to the tank when the liquid is regulated. Empty, eleven feet of polyethylene on that base catches wind; it is cabled to structure before the first fill. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid, which is why a chemical that degrades in light, or water that grows algae, goes in the black tank. It also runs warmer in the sun than white and hides the level, so a sender read at the ground is the gauge. The tank sizing calculator turns a feed rate and a delivery interval into a volume, and the tank sizing guide covers the reserve and the freeboard a warm liquid wants.

The 102 inch 4,100s, and the ten foot base 4,000 and 4,300

Four 4,100s share this shell. The C34 is the black heavy duty grade, and the N46 and N48 are the cross-linked polyethylene versions, the N48 the heavy duty one at 1,100 pounds; each carries its own rating on its own sheet, and this page cites only this tank's 1.5. The 7421100 pair lay a similar volume down on a ten foot base at 104 inches, 4,000 gallons in the N40 and 4,300 in the C34, for a plant with yard and no bay. This tank is the one to buy when the roof is eleven feet, the floor is eight and a half, and the ship-to is east of the Ohio.

A manway at ten feet ten inches

• Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 130 inches up. That is above the height a person should open anything from a step ladder with a hose in hand, so a fixed platform with a rail, or a rolling stair rated for it, is what opens this lid. Fill through a dip tube so nobody climbs to pour, run the vent outdoors on a liquid that fumes, and size the vent for the delivery pump.
• Outlet: 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead fitting, at the base. Tell us the liquid when ordering and the fitting is matched to it, with a flanged transition, a flexible connector to hard pipe, and the valve supported off the pad in the material the chemical calls for.
• Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.

Nearly eleven feet of liquid above a 3 inch outlet is a flooded suction to the last few inches, and the outlet empties a full tank in a working shift. Put the pump below the outlet so gravity primes it, and a low-level float stops it before it runs dry. The manway stays shut between fills, the tank carries the name of the one liquid in it, and the band of wall above the liquid line gets a look with a light each time the lid comes off, from the platform, never from a ladder leaned on the shell. Where it freezes, trace or wrap the valve and the first run of pipe; the body takes ice from the top down.

Where an eastern 4,100 goes to work

Coagulant or hypochlorite at a water plant in the Ohio Valley, caustic at a paper mill, brine at a food plant, liquid fertilizer at a co-op in the Shenandoah, process chemical at a plant that buys most of a tanker at a time and stores in the sun. When the site rules ask for a second wall, the Captor double wall freeboard guide works through what a contained tank gives up in usable volume at this size. It is not the wall a fire reserve needs; the fire-water reservoir design guide explains why a water-rated tank does that job, though this one holds water within its rating. A reuse train doses chemical between storage stages, and the industrial water reuse tank topology shows where a 4,100 sits in it.

Class 300 out of Philippi

The 7360000C37-BLACK ships from Philippi, West Virginia as freight at class 300 as the sheet lists it, and the freight cost estimator prices that lane to your ZIP; the listed price is before freight. At 102 inches across and 130 long it rides a flatbed, and the receiving site needs a forklift with long forks or a crane to stand 850 pounds on the pad with straps under the body, never through the manway. Cable it before the truck leaves. Fill it with water to the manway once and hold it, watching the pad edge and the outlet fitting, then drain and dry before the chemical arrives. Keep the delivery paperwork with the tank; the first load's strength and date are the baseline for every load after. The day it lands, write the part number on the maintenance log; five years on, nobody remembers which shell it is. Check the strap tension a week after the first fill; a tank settles a little, and the strap that was tight is loose.
