Types of Stainless Steel Chemical Storage Tanks

Stainless steel chemical storage tanks are used in various industries to store chemicals safely and efficiently. Here are some common types of stainless steel chemical storage tanks:

Vertical Storage Tanks: 

These tanks are typically cylindrical and stand upright. They are often used for storing liquids and can be customized with different capacities and diameters.

Horizontal Storage Tanks:

 These are also cylindrical but are designed to lie horizontally. They are often used when height restrictions are a concern or for easier access.

Double-Walled Tanks: 

These tanks have an inner and outer wall, providing an extra layer of protection. This design is particularly useful for storing hazardous chemicals, as it helps prevent leaks.

Jacketed Tanks:

Equipped with a secondary outer wall or jacket, these tanks allow for heating or cooling of the contents by circulating a thermal fluid in the space between the walls. They are commonly used in industries where temperature control is crucial.

Cone-Bottom Tanks: 

Featuring a conical bottom, these tanks facilitate complete drainage of the stored liquids, making them ideal for viscous materials or when thorough cleaning is necessary.

Spherical Tanks: 

While less common, spherical tanks are used for storing gases and liquids under pressure, as their shape evenly distributes stress.

Pressure Tanks: 

Designed to withstand internal pressure, these tanks are used for storing gases or liquids that are pressurized.

Mixing Tanks: 

Equipped with agitation systems, these tanks are used for mixing chemical ingredients. They often have additional features like heating or cooling jackets.

Portable Tanks: 

Designed for mobility, these tanks can be easily transported and are used for temporary storage or transportation of chemicals.

Underground Tanks: 

These are buried tanks used for storing chemicals below ground level, often used when space is limited or for safety reasons.

Each type of tank can be customized with various features such as insulation, fittings, and coatings to suit specific storage needs. The choice of tank depends on factors like the chemical properties, storage capacity, temperature requirements, and regulatory compliance.Contact our experts to customize your chemical storage tanks
