In this video, we’ll take a look at the components that make up an electrical heating system used on a polyethylene chemical storage tank. A polyethylene tank heating system, along with proper insulation, ensures that the chemicals stored in the tank are kept at the proper temperature. The poly tank heating system consists of a SilcoPad® heating pad on the outside of the tank that is wired to a control panel and also a thermostat. The tank heating system can be connected to a SCADA system or any type of alarm device.

Poly Processing stands alone in the chemical storage tank industry as the only manufacturer to certify not only the polyethylene tank itself, but all fittings and parts within the chemical storage tank system to NSF/ANSI 61 standards. This delivers peace of mind to water treatment facilities, knowing the entire system meets the highest standards for public safety.

Sodium hypochlorite is a chemical used in thousands of applications. It is one of the most common chemicals used in water treatment to eliminate bacteria and viruses from drinking water supplies. By no means is it limited to just public works, any environment that requires sanitation from industrial to food processing find it to beneficial. As an aggressive oxidizer, it can even be used in manufacturing paper products to bleach and oxidize fibers.

Polyethylene storage tanks play an important role in municipal water treatment. Drinking, or potable water, originates from two sources: surface water, such as lakes, rivers, and reservoirs, or groundwater, wells or underground aquifers. This article will explore the five typical steps used in municipal water treatment and examine the use of polyethylene chemical storage tanks in treating water for domestic use.

Applications
To maintain safe storage of chemicals and proactively detect cracks, weak seams and fittings, and other storage tank stress points that could develop into potential leaks or spills, a comprehensive annual chemical storage tank inspection is strongly recommended. Even if the polyethylene tank is relatively new, a routine and careful visual inspection is suggested.
