Written by enduramaxx.marketing | May 10, 2021 11:00:00 PM

Enduramaxx Made to Measure Chemical Tanks are manufactured for water, water, acid & chemical Storage and suitable for liquids with a specific gravity of up to 2 SG.  Available in 45 sizes, ranging from 50 litres to 30,000 litres, these plastic chemical tanks and process vessels are moulded as a one-piece moulding with no joins or seams. These tanks are uv stabilised for outside use and available in materials including polypropylene.

Chemical Storage Tanks with Secondary Containment

Enduramaxx Bunded Chemical Tanks are tanks with secondary containment for Admix, chemical storage, wastewater, de-icer, and fertiliser storage. These bunded tanks are suitable for water, chemical and acids and contain a minimum 110% volume of the inner tank. So simply put, a plastic bunded tank is a ‘tank within a tank’ that helps customers conform to current health and safety legislation.

Bunded Chemical Storage Tanks have been specifically designed with pollution control in mind with provisions for overfilling with ‘over the top’ pipe fittings for filling and discharge. This reduces the requirements for low-level fittings in the tank wall or the requirement for a civil bund.

What can be stored in Plastic Chemical Tanks

The resistance to corrosion of both polyethene and polypropylene is often surprising to those who have historically used stainless steel or GRP. The ability for withstanding chemical effects on all surfaces can make rotationally moulded an ideal material for chemical storage tank manufacture.

Examples of some of the products stored;

As with all chemical storage tanks checking compatibility from an MSDS sheet, the temperature of the liquid and fittings suitability is essential before specifying a tank.

Pipework & Customisation for Chemical Tanks

These industrial chemical tanks are available with customised fittings and flanges. These include BSP inlets and outlets, PN16 and ANSI flanges, welded socketsvents and fume proof lids for fuming chemicals.  Liquid level sensor assemblies,  fill pipes and suction pipes are available terminating in BSP and flanged connections. Bolt down feet is available to bolt the tank in place.

Fume Proof lids

Fume-Tight Bolted Lids for tanks are part of the storage tank systems manufactured by Enduramaxx. These lids are compatible with many different chemicals including fuming chemicals that require sealing when stored. For these chemical applications, the use of a chemical fume tight lid is usually required. There are many applications where these may be required.

Mushroom vents

Polyethene chemical storage tanks require the correct installation for two essential reasons;

  • Ensures the safe operation of the tank and the chemicals stored within the tank
  • Proper installation is vital to maximizing the life of the chemical storage tank.

Venting capacity must equal or exceed Air Cubic Feet per Minute coming from tanker truck for an adequate margin of safety and increased tank life.

Mixer Mounting Frames

Enduramaxx mixer tanks are available in both standard flat base and cone base versions. Sizes range from 250 litres to 30,000 litres to meet the demands of many applications. Robust and sturdy together with quick and easy set-up, our HDPE mixer tanks are designed to last. Enduramaxx can also offer completely bespoke solutions for your facility including mixer frames, ladders, platforms, and level indication.  More details here

Mixer Baffles

Mixer Tank Baffles have the principal function to reduce the swirling in the bulk fluid and promote circulation between the top and bottom of the tank. This ensures the full liquid volumes passes through the high turbulence area of the impeller to stabilize and minimise variation in the agitator power draw.

For many mixing applications, Mixer Tank Baffles are one of the most beneficial additions you can equip your mixer with. These relatively affordable components allow you to improve the flow pattern in your mixer tank without putting much more strain on the impeller shaft.
