Proper tank design is crucial to successful safe chemical storage. Purchasing a chemical storage tank isn’t just about selecting the right size — it is vital to design the proper tank configuration for the safety of your employees, the protection of the environment, and to leverage your investment. Let’s walk through the steps for designing a chemical storage tank: https://hubs.la/Q02Z-rp50

Sodium hydroxide has a wide variety of uses. While this chemical is widely used, its properties present special storage and handling challenges. While there are many options for Sodium Hydroxide storage, a rotationally molded cross-linked polyethylene tank is ideal. This process produces a tank with no seams, making it nearly impossible for the chemical to find leaks. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02ZnSZg0

Peracetic acid is a bactericide and fungicide that is used in the food industry and water treatment industry. It’s a potent chemical that must be treated with care and stored properly. Improper handling could be costly and result in personal injury. To support safe handling of peracetic acid, we’ve recorded a podcast featuring expert guidance on storage and usage practices.

NSF/ANSI 61 sets the criteria for water system components to protect health standards. If you manufacture, sell or distribute water treatment or distribution products in North America, your products typically must comply with NSF/ANSI 61. Let’s explore NSF/ANSI 61 and how to make sure your chemical storage tank system meets the necessary requirements. https://hubs.la/Q02XVjtM0

Poly Processing Company sees venting as one of the most critical parts of a safe chemical storage system. Proper venting of a chemical storage tank system helps ensure safe operation and can also extend the useful life of the cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) tank. Let's examine how we developed our engineered venting program and help you determine the proper venting for your polyethylene chemical storage tanks. Learn more: https://hubs.la/Q02WN_130

Secondary containment is an important safeguard that helps plant operators mitigate the risks associated with chemical spills. In the event of a leak or failure of the primary storage vessel, secondary containment systems can prevent costly damage to equipment and physical risk to employees and nearby residents.

Sulfuric acid is one of the most widely used chemicals in the United States. This heavy, corrosive chemical requires a specifically designed storage system. That’s why Poly Processing follows guidelines that help ensure safety and enhanced useful tank life. Learn more about best practices for sulfuric acid tank design: https://hubs.la/Q02V5zTJ0

Mixing chemicals and other substances is a lot like mixing cake batter. A container is involved, as is a stand (or bracket) to support the mixing system. But, if you’ve ever made a cake, you know that you have to move the bowl around to mix all the ingredients. It doesn’t work to stick the beaters down in the bowl and keep them in one place. Obviously, in a chemical storage and mixing scenario, moving the tank around to get all the chemical that can’t be reached is not an option. That’s where baffles come in.
