A Strategic Alternative to the Cone-Bottom Tank - The IMFO Fitting

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.

How Choosing the Right Chemical Tank Makes Your Job Easier

A chemical storage tank is a small portion of the cost of your multi-million-dollar wastewater treatment plant—but if the tank fails, it could shut down your entire facility. Then the wrong chemical storage tank becomes a costly liability that doesn’t just add expense, but also potential danger and stress.

Trends in the Potable Water Industry

In 2014, the water storage systems market in North America was valued at $2.45 billion, and it’s projected to top $4 Billion by 2020. As freshwater resources are becoming more scarce in growing population centers, and concerns over water conservation are increasing, potable water storage is becoming a big deal. Municipalities, commercial industries, and even residential markets need to make the most of their potable water storage systems.

Evaluating Your Containment Costs: SAFE-Tanks vs Concrete Secondary Containment

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®.

Innovative Storage for Plating, Mining, and High-Tech Industries

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:

Be Sure Your Ferrous Chloride Storage Tanks Are Up to the Task

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.

Dairy, Food, and DEF Storage Tanks That Outlast Other Solutions

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.
