Snyder Industries 5500 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Look at the purlins before the chemical. Dense chemicals are usually stored under cover, because spills are regulated and sun warms a black tank, and the chemical rooms in older plants were framed low. This tank stands 132 inches, with room above the manway for a vent line and a fill line under a roof the taller heavy duty shells cannot use. Full at the rating it puts 87,153 lb on a 120 inch circle, and a rotationally moulded floor bears on all of it, so the slab is engineered; our concrete pad sizing guide covers the design, and a dense chemical goes inside a berm. Strap it while it is empty even indoors; a floor that gets washed down and a forklift working beside it are their own kind of wind. Ferric and the other dense coagulants, concentrated acid at a plating shop, brine at a food plant and a heavy fertilizer solution under a shed roof are the loads this wall is bought for. Where a reuse system doses a dense chemical between its stages, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a tank this size belongs. Check the volume with the tank sizing calculator and the tank sizing guide. For a fire reserve, read the fire water reservoir guide before buying a chemical wall for it.

What to check before you buy

1. The liquid. Up to 1.9 specific gravity and 120 F in this tank. Check it in the chemical compatibility guide and name the chemical and concentration when you order so every wetted part of the fitting matches it.
2. The outlet. Give us the pipe size you are connecting and we confirm the fitting that goes in the wall. In a low bay the pipe run is often short and rigid, which is exactly the run that carries pump vibration back into the wall; the flexible connector and the supported valve are not optional. Mount the pump below the outlet and fit a low-level float.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 132 inches up, reached from a platform or a tall step with a rail. Fill through a dip tube to the floor and run the vent outdoors on anything that fumes. A Snyder drawing for the 7000000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The 7000000N51 ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, NE or Philippi, WV, whichever is nearer, strapped to a skid at 120 by 120 by 132 inches and 1,450 lb. At this size it is an oversize load; if the estimator hands you to the phone, call us with the ZIP. Measure the bay door before the truck comes. A crane or a forklift with long forks stands it up with straps under the body, never through the manway. Check the part number 7000000N51 on the bill of lading, look over the shell for transit damage, and fill it with water to the shoulder first, holding it while you watch the pad edge and the outlet fitting, then drain and dry it before the chemical arrives. Write the fitting material and the chemical on the site plan the day it lands; the replacement fitting is ordered by those two words.
