Tanks manufactured in High-Density Polyethylene and Polypropylene
Many manufacturing processes follow a linear production including metal processing, stainless steel strip cleaning and wire manufacture which demand a tank to fit the process flow. We can manufacture rectangular plastic chemical process tanks to your exact requirements and help to maximise your production efficiency.
A simple rectangular tank can also be used as a secondary containment bund to contain vessels, pumps and pipework and provide a complete spill resistant solution.
We are also happy to share our years of technical expertise and experience in industrial processes, transferring and storing chemicals to help you through the design and specification stages. We can produce rectangular tanks to any dimension and every tank we design and manufacture conforms to the British and European standard BS EN 12573: 2000 ‘Welded static non-pressurized thermoplastic tanks’.
Typically, these processes involve corrosive solutions at elevated temperatures, reinforcing the importance of chemical resistance. We specialise in using thermoplastics due to their inert nature when dealing with some of the most aggressive chemicals. Specifically, we use Corrosion Resistant Polypropylene and High-Density Polyethylene (PE100-RC).
We are also able to provide full project services including delivery and site-installation, a broad range of valving, pumps, controls, ChemiGuard Offloading and Dosing cabinets and Pipework Solutions for safe fluid transfer.
Advantages:
- A broad range of chemical resistance
- Corrosion resistance both internally and externally
- The ability to specify a tank design life with unlimited fill and empty cycles
- Lightweight tank construction leading to reduced installation costs
- Resistance to stress cracking (PE100-RC)
Available additional features:
- Flat or Sloping base construction
- Cladding of supporting steelwork
- Improved access options: including ladderwork, handrails and roof strengthening
- Recirculation systems
- Fume extraction and scrubbing
