For nearly 50 years, Poly Processing has been the industry leader in chemical storage tank manufacturing. But until now, our customers were limited to tanks that were 13,650 gallons and that was from a single manufacturing facility. 

We are pleased to share that we will be attending WEFTEC® September 23-25, 2019 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois, Booth #4241. Before we get ready to take off to the world’s largest annual water quality technical conference and exhibition, we want to help you prepare to attend too. 

Poly Processing Company invites you to visit us at booth #1403 at AWWA ACE 2019, June 10-12 in Denver, Colorado.

At Poly Processing, we do everything we can to make sure your chemical storage tank installation is as simple as possible. By working together, we aim to help you minimize the threat of potential problems.

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. 

Poly Processing is proud to offer the newest Chemical Storage Tank Systems and Accessories, Product and Resource Guide. It is available at Polyprocessing.com and can be downloaded at the end of this blog.   

At Poly Processing Company, we make it a priority to ensure that you have all of the information needed to build a safe, reliable chemical storage system.

Whenever an earthquake happens, the clean up leaves clues about safe storage of liquid materials. In 2014, a Napa Valley earthquake left winery operations with thousands of broken wine bottles and damaged and crushed storage tanks to clean up. 

Let’s take a look at what happened, best practices for wine storage, and how you can protect your wine stock from potential damage. 

Recently, a chemical storage spill occurred at a Roanoke metals processing plant. A forklift punctured a storage tank containing hydrochloric acid. This pungent liquid is a strong, highly corrosive acid that creates toxic and potentially fatal fumes. Because of the high-risk chemical involved, the plant was quickly evacuated. Thankfully, the spill was less than 100 gallons and could be contained with minimal impact on the plant production schedule, and most importantly, no one was injured.

On January 9,2014, a chemical spill fouled the water supply for thousands of West Virginians.  "Crude MCHM," 4-methylcyclohexane methanol used in washing coal and removing impurities, leaked from the Freedom Industries facility into the Elk River near Charleston, WV. In addition to the leak at the Freedom Industries’ chemical storage facility, Freedom Industries has since been cited for unsafe storage conditions at a second chemical storage site. Freedom Industries has subsequently filed for bankruptcy.
