5,600-gallon black storage tank built for heavy-duty industrial chemical containment. Manufactured by Snyder from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) rated to handle liquids up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. Dual FDA and NSF 61 certified — one of the few tanks approved for both potable water and food-grade liquid storage.
The 5600 Gallon ASTM XLPE Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank is designed for municipal water systems, large-scale agricultural operations, and industrial facilities requiring bulk storage capacity. At 5,600 gallons, this is a facility-scale tank built for operations that measure liquid consumption in thousands of gallons per day. It is the anchor of heavy-duty industrial chemical containment systems for municipalities, large farms, and industrial plants.
Constructed from cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) using a single-piece rotational molding process that eliminates seams, weld lines, and potential leak points. The 1.9 specific gravity rating means this tank is built with significantly heavier wall sections than a standard water tank — necessary to safely contain liquids weighing up to 15.8 pounds per gallon. That extra wall thickness is not optional when you are storing aggressive industrial chemicals. UV-resistant black pigmentation provides maximum outdoor durability and inhibits algae growth in stored liquids. Maximum operating temperature is 140° F / 60° C, with UV stabilizers compounded directly into the resin for outdoor service life.
This tank measures 102 inches tall with a 142-inch diameter, requiring 110.0 square feet of level ground. Empty weight is 1350 pounds. At full capacity with a 1.9 SG liquid, expect approximately 90,088 pounds on the foundation. Requires an engineered reinforced concrete foundation designed by a structural professional for the full loaded weight. Large tanks require professional installation. Ensure the pad is level within 1 inch across the full diameter and that all piping connections allow for thermal expansion.
This tank ships without pre-installed fittings, giving you full flexibility to position inlet and outlet connections exactly where your plumbing layout requires. Use polyethylene-compatible bulkhead fittings for all penetrations. The 18" Threaded Vented Manway lid opening provides ample access for interior inspection, cleaning, and installation of float switches, level sensors, or submersible pumps. Install schedule 80 PVC or stainless steel piping on all NPT connections. Full-port ball valves, expansion loops for thermal movement, and proper pipe support are essential at this scale.
Snyder Industries has been a leader in polyethylene tank manufacturing for over 60 years. Their Lincoln, Nebraska facility produces tanks using advanced rotational molding processes with rigorous quality control at every step. Backed by a 3-year manufacturer warranty from Snyder against defects in materials and workmanship under normal use conditions. FDA approved for contact with potable water and food-grade liquids. NSF/ANSI 61 certified for potable water system components. Every tank is inspected before it leaves the production floor — and we inspect it again before it ships from our facility.
