Technical specifications are one of the most important aspects of any project. And having clear specifications not only allows you to get a clear picture of what the expectations are but it also allows you to plan ahead.

The aspects of effective chemical storage tank design are often played out in real life, in a much less dangerous, yet still interesting, way.

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.

Paint presents a few storage challenges that might be very different from other commonly stored chemicals. More often than not, paint produces some harmful fumes and has a thicker viscosity than most liquids, which can lead to some real challenges when it comes to emptying or cleaning the tank that your paint supply is stored in.
