The Nuances of Chemical Storage Tanks and their Different Types

Chemical storage tanks are specifically designed to store chemicals. They are available in various shapes and sizes and are designed differently for different chemicals. This is because every chemical has different corrosion levels and there are no one-in-all designs which can sustain all of these. Each and every chemical tank is designed based on different parameters and their first and foremost role is to endure aggressive chemicals. They are required to be erosive and corrosive free. They are generally made of materials which are chemically resistant and specifically monitored based on the temperature regulating facility.

Chemical tanks manufactured by Frontier Polymers
The chemical tanks manufactured by Frontier Polymers are unparalleled in the business and it has been over 20 years since they are holding the position of market leaders. Their tanks are based entirely on their customer’s requirements and are made from either cross-linked polymer or PE and PP. they are available in various shapes and sized and here we are going to discuss a few:

  • Closed Top Cylindrical Tank
These tanks have high density and low melting point and are made from Hexene LLDPE which is an imported material. These tanks are generally used to store strong acids such as Sulphuric Acid and Nitric Acid. Some of the key factors include:
  1. The Hexene LLDPE resin makes it corrosion and erosion free thereby granting a long life to the tank.
  2. The molecules in the resin are closely packed thereby ensuring High Chemical Resistance.

  • Open Top Cylindrical Tank
These tanks are also known as coiler cans and are specially used in the textile industry. These are made of high-quality materials such as 100% polyethylene or cross-linked polymers. Some of the key features are:
  1. They are available in a variety of colors according to the likings of the customer. These colors are usually UV resistant.
  2. Since they are made of high-quality materials they are usually maintenance free.

  • Conical Bottom Tank
These tanks are used for storing and Sulphuric Acid and Nitric Acid and are made from Hexene LLDPE resin which is imported. Key factors are:
  1. They have high density and low melting point and can serve as heavy-duty tanks.
  2. The resin used has environmental stress crack resistance to withstand any environmental conditions.
  3. The molecules in the resin are closely packed thereby ensuring High Chemical Resistance and are corrosion, erosion, and maintenance free.

Conclusion:
The various kinds of  Chemical Storage Tanks are useful for various purposes and were built keeping different scenarios in mind. Thus, their make and materials differ but one thing that stays constant is their top-notch quality.
