Snyder Industries 6500 Gallon ASTM Black Heavy Duty Vertical Storage Tank

Where it goes

Measure the roof, then the ground. The manway sits 153 inches up and wants room above it for a vent line and a fill line, so check the purlins before this tank goes indoors. Full at the rating it puts 102,999 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. Outdoors, a black tank this tall is a sail when empty and grows in the sun once full, so the cables to structure or deadmen go on before the first fill and get checked after the first windy week and the first full summer. Ferric and the other dense coagulants at a water plant, concentrated acid at an industrial plant, brine at a food plant and a heavy fertilizer solution at a co-op 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 against your draw between tankers 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. Nearly thirteen feet of a dense liquid is a real head on the fitting, so the first valve sits on its own support, the connector to hard pipe is flexible, the pump sits below the outlet, and a low-level float stops it before it draws air.
3. The manway. An 18 inch threaded vented manway, 153 inches up, opened from a platform with a rail. Fill through a dip tube to the floor, size the vent to the tanker's pump, and run it outdoors on anything that fumes. A Snyder drawing for the 7140000 shell is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.

Shipping and receiving

The 7140000N51 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 153 inches and 2,000 lb. At this size it is an oversize load; if the estimator hands you to the phone, call us with the ZIP and the access route. A crane stands it up with straps under the body, never through the manway, and the cables go on before the crane leaves. Check the part number 7140000N51 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. Keep a spare gasket for the outlet fitting on the shelf.
