Snyder Industries 8500 Gallon ASTM XLPE Vertical Storage Tank

The tall answer to an 8500 gallon problem

A 120 inch circle fits where the wide bulk bodies will not, and 194 inches of height clears more roofs than the taller tanks in this range, which makes this the tank for a treatment plant replacing a wall of totes, a manufacturer storing process or rinse water in a tall bay, a co-op holding a fertilizer solution drawn down over weeks, or a site aggregating rainwater and condensate for reuse. Anything beyond water goes through our chemical compatibility guide; anything heavier than 1.5 times water belongs in the heavy duty version of this body. For a reuse system that needs a quality-banded stage between treatment steps, the industrial water reuse tank topology article shows where a tank this size belongs.

A rotationally moulded floor bears on its own floor and nothing else, so 70,890 lb of water lands on a 120 inch circle: engineer the pad to our concrete pad sizing guide, level and in full contact, bermed where the liquid is regulated. Measure the roof for 194 inches of shell plus working room above the manway, and band the empty shell to structure the day it lands. Natural white passes some daylight but no calibrated reading; our level gauge selection guide covers which type lasts in which service. Size the volume in the tank sizing calculator and take freeboard from the tank sizing guide. A private fire reserve is a separate specification, set out in the fire water reservoir design guide.

Openings, and what to confirm before you buy

1. Vent and fill. The 18 inch threaded vented manway, 194 inches up, breathes at the rate the delivery pump fills, so size the vent to that pump. Fill through a dip tube to the floor; a stream falling the height of the shell foams the headspace and coats the upper wall, which our vapor headspace wall thickness article explains.
2. Access. A fixed ladder or platform with a rail and gate, and a hard-piped fill landed at the manway so nobody climbs with a hose.
3. Outlet. This listing carries no outlet size. Tell us the liquid and the pipe you are tying into when you order and we confirm what Snyder fits to this shell before it ships. The drawing is linked under Technical Drawing on this page.
4. Base plumbing. First valve on its own support off the pad, flexible connector to hard pipe, pump below the outlet with a low-level float.

Shipping and receiving

The tank ships LTL at freight class 300 from Snyder's plant in Lincoln, NE, at its own 120 by 120 by 194 inch dimensions, an oversize load; the estimator will tell you whether your lane needs a phone call. Set it with straps around the body, never a sling through the manway, onto a cured pad, and band it before the crane is released. Check the part number 7400000N40 against the bill of lading before you sign. Water to the manway, held long enough to walk the base and the pad edge twice, drained before the working liquid, on the discipline in our hydrostatic test methodology article. Check the band tension a week after that first fill.
