Secondary containment is an important safeguard that helps plant operators mitigate the risks associated with chemical spills and avoid damage to equipment and property. In this system, a secondary container or wall encompasses the primary container. Should the primary container fail and cause a chemical leak, the secondary container prevents the chemical from spilling outside the system.
Did you know that every chemical storage tank has a stock number and a serial number? One will help you order your tank, and one will help you identify the tank you’ve purchased. It can be easy to get confused about which number you need to know, what it tells you, and when you need it. But at Poly Processing, we want you to be well-educated and fully informed about our products, and your individual tanks. So here’s a quick breakdown on storage tank serial numbers and stock numbers.
At Poly Processing, we do everything we can to make sure your chemical storage tank installation is as simple as possible. By working together, we aim to help you minimize the threat of potential problems.

Cone-bottom tanks have an active drain feature at the bottom of the tank, making it possible to completely empty a tank—especially one that contains sludge or other difficult-to-drain contents. But cone-bottom tanks come with a price tag, and there’s another option that can meet the same need for less cost. Poly Processing’s Integrally Molded Flanged Outlet® (IMFO®) tank is a vertical storage tank that can give you a full discharge at a lower cost than a cone-bottom tank system. IMFO tanks provide other advantages, as well.

Secondary containment systems are recommended and more andmore required safeguards that can prevent costly damage to equipment and risk to employees if a primary storage vessel is breached. There are several secondary containment options with varying costs, and concrete containment is a popular industry standard. But you may be surprised when you compare the true costs of a poured in place concrete system to Poly Processing’s sophisticated, integrated, double wall tank containment system, the SAFE-Tank®.
