Three of the most challenging industries for storing chemicals are also areas we’ve serviced for over 30 years. The plating, mining, and high-tech industries each use aggressive chemicals, and they require chemical storage solutions that can handle highly corrosive compounds. Top companies in the mining, plating, and high-tech industries trust Poly Processing’s innovative technologies to safely contain highly corrosive chemical solutions. Our OR-1000™ and IMFO® tank components are unparalleled when it comes to durability and reliability. Here’s why these industries use our chemical storage solutions:

Applications
Odor control is an essential priority for all wastewater treatment plants. Hydrogen sulfide forms in wastewater and creates a strong odor that can be detected in water, and even in surrounding neighborhoods near the treatment plants.

Chemicals
Industries that use chemicals and solutions with special chemical standards have to keep a close watch on the storage solutions they rely on. Chemical storage tanks that are susceptible to corrosion or bacterial growth are costly to maintain and replace, and great care must be taken to ensure that the stored materials are preserved.

Applications
Selecting the proper tank fitting—and location for the fitting—is an important matter. You need the right fitting for your application, and it’s not always easy to understand which one is the best choice for your needs.

Steel tanks and vessels provide exceptional strength, but they’re susceptible to chemical corrosion. Any steel tank used for storing harmful chemicals will need to be protected with some form of internal lining/liner. A polyethylene lining system is designed to protect your steel tank against the harshest chemicals to give you broad chemical resistance alongside the durability and strength of a steel tank.

Storing sulfuric acid is no cake walk. Sulfuric acid presents serious storage challenges that you need to be fully prepared to handle:

Chemicals
How do you know by looking at a chemical storage tank how well it’s constructed? There’s a big difference between a well-designed, properly constructed tank and an inexpensive one that doesn’t meet structural requirements. But it takes more than the naked eye to spot critical flaws.

The pharmaceutical industry has a history of using stainless steel storage tanks due to the belief that the resins in a polyethylene storage tank would allow leaching and bacterial growth with pharmaceutical products. But stainless steel tanks have drawbacks. Because they can contain chemical attack points, the tanks require expensive coatings and ongoing maintenance and inspection. Seams and welding spots are especially prone to compromise.

Sulfuric acid is one of the most commonly used acids in the world and it is used in a wide variety of industrial applications. It’s commonly used in water and wastewater treatment and in the manufacturing of chemicals, fertilizers, and car batteries. It inherently releases high amounts of heat and presents unique storage challenges. Let’s look at the some of the storage challenges and best tank solutions.
