Made from high-density polyethylene, known for its strength and resistance to corrosion and UV radiation. Available in various sizes, from small capacity tanks (100 liters) to large industrial tanks (over 1, 00,000 liters). Typically cylindrical or rectangular, but can be custom-designed. Varies based on application; usually ranges from 5mm to 20mm. often fabricated using rotational molding or blow molding for seamless tanks. Can handle temperatures from -40°C to +60°C, depending on specific grades of HDPE. Excellent resistance to a wide range of acids, bases, and solvents, making them suitable for chemical storage. Potable water, rainwater harvesting, and wastewater treatment.
Used in industries like agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and food processing. Storage of lubricants, oils, and other industrial fluids. Easy to transport and install compared to traditional materials like metal or concrete. Safe for storing drinking water and food-grade products. Requires minimal upkeep due to resistance to rust and corrosion.
Typically requires a flat, stable base. Can be installed above ground or underground. Regular inspections for leaks or damage, and cleaning as needed to prevent algae or sediment buildup. Many manufacturers offer custom sizes, shapes, and features like manholes, outlets, and reinforcement options to meet specific needs.
