One of the biggest challenges in chemical storage tank design is achieving a full drain of the chemicals from the tank during regular operation as well as cleaning.

There are several measures taken during the shipping and delivery process in order to protect your investment in a chemical storage tank and its accessories. Poly Processing tanks ship directly from one of our three strategically located plant sites: Louisiana, California, or Virginia.

Storage tanks that are used outdoors need to be protected from the elements. Depending on the chemical being stored, and if the tank is kept outside, there are also factors to consider in order to protect the tank and its contents.

Here at Poly Processing, we spend a lot of time getting the tank built to spec, but if a tank is not installed correctly it could lead to damage, leaks, safety issues for personnel, and ultimately a shorter tank life. That’s why we take chemical tank installation seriously.
In any chemical process, consistency and reliability are key. Not only do you want to know what the incoming materials consist of but you also need to know how they react when they're used in engineering. One of the ways Poly Processing ensures both reliability and uniformity is through various quality control steps and tests. One of those tests is using a Brabender Plasticorder to test the resin we use to make our tanks.

Maintaining the proper temperature of a chemical is often critical for safe storage. For example, sodium hydroxide, at a 50% concentration will start to crystalize at or below temperatures of 60 degrees Fahrenheit. With Poly Processing tanks, heat pads and insulation are available to maintain the specific temperature of the chemical being stored. Heating pads and foam insulation combine to maintain the chemical temperature even when the tank is exposed to lower ambient temperatures.
Installing ultrasonic level systems for your tanks allows you to monitor liquid levels with added safety and less chance of contamination. These systems constantly track how much is in the tank and display the information remotely.

Do you need to know how to properly retrofit a tank to store a different chemical? Looking at installing a new tank? Concerned about your 15-year-old polyethylene tank? Do the sidewall fittings, venting, and brackets of your tank ensure safe operation and long tank life? For the answers to these chemical storage tank questions and more, the Poly Processing Field Service team is here to assist.

Hydraulic fracturing, also known as fracking or fracing, is the process of making small cracks or fractures in underground rocks to release the oil or natural gas inside. Scientists must analyze the physical characteristics of the rocks to be fractured before fracking can begin.
