5,000 gallons in black at 1.9 specific gravity, nearly thirteen feet on an eight and a half foot base
The Snyder 1002100C34 is a black polyethylene vertical storage tank, 102 inches across and 154 inches tall, holding 5,000 gallons at 950 pounds. It is the tall 5,000: a round-number chemical tank on a 102 inch circle, the floor a plant gives up when it has a bay, with the 18 inch threaded, vented manway at nearly thirteen feet opened from a platform, in a black wall that keeps light off the load. Its wall is rated for a specific gravity of 1.9, or 79,230 pounds of contents against 41,700 for water, for concentrated acid, ferric and the heavy brines at strength. A 3 inch polypropylene female NPT bulkhead outlet, a 3 year warranty, and freight at class 300 from Philippi, West Virginia.

The 5,000 for a bay, not a yard
Snyder's other 5,000 stands under ten feet on a ten foot base; this one gives back a foot and a half of floor and takes three feet of height for it, which on a pad between two other tanks is the trade that fits. Full at the rating it puts 79,230 pounds on a 102 inch circle, a heavy load per square foot, so the slab is engineered per the concrete pad sizing guide, inside a berm sized to the tank, and empty, thirteen feet of polyethylene on that base is strapped to structure before the first fill. Black polyethylene absorbs the ultraviolet that ages a white wall and passes no light to the liquid; it runs warmer in the sun, so shade if the chemical must stay cool, and it hides the level, so a sender read at the ground is the gauge.Check the volume against the feed rate and the delivery interval in the tank sizing calculator, and take the reserve and the expansion freeboard from the tank sizing guide.
Grades on the 102 x 154 inch tank, and the 5,000 on the ten foot base
| Part | Gallons | Diameter x height | Empty weight |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1002100C34 (this tank, black, 1.9 SG) | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 950 lb |
| 1002100C37-BLACK (black) | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 950 lb |
| 1002100N40 | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 950 lb |
| 1002100N46 | 5,000 | 102 x 154 in | 950 lb |
| 7000500C34 (black, low) | 5,000 | 120 x 116 in | 650 lb |
| 32372 (water) | 5,100 | 102 x 159 in | 1,301 lb |
| 5480000N40 (slim) | 4,900 | 90 x 202 in | 1,450 lb |
The C37-BLACK is the other black tank in this shell and the N40 and N46 the other chemical grades, all at this weight. The 7000500C34 is the black 5,000 on a 120 inch base under ten feet, three hundred pounds lighter, for a site with yard and no bay. The 32372 is the 5,100 gallon water tank on this base, and the 5480000N40 puts 4,900 gallons on a 90 inch base at 202 inches for the narrowest floor of all.

Where the pipe and the vent go
- 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.
- Access: 18 inch threaded, vented manway, 154 inches up; a platform with a rail for anyone who opens it. A dip tube to the floor keeps the fill from free-falling and foaming, the vent goes outdoors on anything that fumes, and it is sized to the delivery pump, not the stock cap.
- Service limit: 120 F / 48 C.
Nearly thirteen feet of liquid above a 3 inch outlet is a strong flooded suction, and the outlet drains a full tank in a working shift; set the pump below the outlet so gravity primes it, with a low-level float to stop it before it draws air. Keep the lid shut between fills, name the chemical on the wall, and inspect above the liquid line with a light; that band of wall is where trouble starts. If the site freezes, protect the outlet valve and the first length of pipe with trace or insulation; the polyethylene body itself tolerates ice from the top down.
Where the tall 5,000 goes
The coagulant or caustic tank a water plant's drawing calls out at 5,000 gallons in a tall chemical room, acid at an industrial plant on a tight pad, brine at a food plant, and a fertilizer solution tank at a co-op with a high shed. For a fire reserve, read the fire-water reservoir design guide and buy the water wall it describes; this tank is built for what it resists. The industrial water reuse tank topology article places a chemical tank this size in a reuse train.
From Philippi, as a permitted load
The 1002100C34 ships from Philippi, West Virginia as freight at class 300 as the sheet lists it; at 154 inches long on the deck it is a permitted load, and the freight cost estimator prices the lane to your ZIP, with the listed price before freight. A crane stands 950 pounds up with straps under the body, never through the manway. 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 goes in, and the log takes the date and strength of every load after that. A photo of the tank on its pad, full, on day one is worth keeping; it is the baseline every later inspection is compared against.
