It’s a situation Poly Processing encounters more often than you might expect. A customer orders a tank, it ships on time and arrives at the facility — and then the real problem begins. The building was designed without any consideration for the size of a polyethylene chemical storage tank — there’s no plan for bringing the tank into the building, positioning it, or eventually removing it at the time of replacement.

Data centers are the backbone of our digital world. These secure, specialized facilities house, power, and cool massive amounts of computing equipment, servers, and data storage systems. They must operate without interruption, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Data centers have become one of the most critical pieces of infrastructure that today’s society depends on.

When it comes to chemical storage tanks, the outlet fitting is one of the most critical points in the entire system. It's where stored chemicals meet the outside world, where pressure concentrates, and where tank failure tends to happen first.

Reliably knowing the level of the liquid in your chemical storage tank is critical to maintaining your operations without interruption. Not only is the level an indicator for ordering more chemicals, but certain chemicals must be stored at a specific level to maintain their properties or meet operational requirements.

FAQs
Bulk stored chemicals can become contaminated from two major sources: debris and moisture. As the product is emptied from the chemical storage tank, dirty air and moisture can be drawn into the tank. Temperature fluctuations can also cause the tank to expand and contract, so that it “breathes” contaminants in and out.

Poly Processing Company engineers and manufacturers chemical storage systems that address not just containment but safe management of vapors emitted from stored chemicals. Chemicals stored in polyethylene tanks require venting. Depending on the chemical you’re storing, the harmful fumes emitted from the storage tank can’t be directly released into the atmosphere. To reduce the harmful fumes before they evacuate the system and to control air pollution, you need a properly designed chemical fume scrubber.

One of the most underestimated threats to a chemical storage tank’s longevity is "cycling," the repeated filling and emptying of storage vessels. This process subjects storage tanks to continuous thermal and mechanical stress which, over time, can lead to premature failure.

When it comes to chemical storage, the decisions you make today can have a profound impact on your bottom line for years — even decades — to come. While the upfront cost of a storage tank is certainly important, it's just one piece of a much larger financial picture. When calculating the true cost of a chemical storage tank, consider the cost over the useful life of the product — not merely the upfront cost.

Navigating the regulatory landscape of chemical storage can be challenging. Terms like NSF certification, FDA approval, and FDA compliance often get used interchangeably, but they mean very different things. Understanding these distinctions is essential when selecting a chemical storage tank that meets your operational and regulatory requirements.
