There can be a high degree of variability in the effluent from industrial sources. This can place a challenge on the process designer to select suitable storage and process tanks to withstand a range of aggressive liquids. The chemical and application parameters will dictate if stainless steel, glass fused to steel, or epoxy coated will be used.
We provide architects, engineers, general contractors, and clients with an engineered solution that will meet and exceed their specifications which encompasses tanks that embed into the concrete foundation, have a steel panel bolted floor, or mount to the foundational sub straight that is provided and designed by others.
A. The chemical tank represents the first line of control for aggressive chemicals. The primary control of the chemical consists of selecting the tank materials appropriate to the application parameters, thus preventing the negative impact of the chemical finding its way into the environment and loss of chemical value.
B. Climate Tanks™ chemical tank will of necessity be made of a material as resistant to the chemical stored as design and economics allow with stainless steel, glass fused to steel, or epoxy coated.
C. The design will further integrate the mechanical parameters (pressure and temperature, erosive and corrosive potentials) of the application, within the designated life of the tank.
D. Chemical compatibility, your chemical provider has chemical resistance information you might need. The chemical provider will detail exactly what tank material, gasket and plumbing materials are suitable for your chemical.
E. Typically, there will be a chemical profile and information report known as a MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheet) which is provided by most chemical manufacturers or distributors and should be the starting point for chemical tank design.
F. Our tanks will be impacted by external considerations, heat, cold, vacuum, pressure and the potential aggressive nature (acidic – caustic) These external effects may impact the tanks’ ability to hold and maintain the viability of both the chemical and the container. (Example: liquid freezing or thickening due to ambient temperature, removes the use of the liquid and the tank.)
G. There are short-term and long-term goals associated with the engineering and specification of the correct materials for a chemical tank. While economic considerations are a factor, the design of chemical storage containers and how the chemistry may impact the environment is crucial.
Climate Tanks™ solutions provide a high degree of protection for the tank for a large range of industrial processes from food waste to tannery effluent, leachate as well as other processes and applications. The advantages of the high corrosion resistance together with the modular nature of the tank build give customers significant benefits in containment security, project build times and life-time costs.
