We recently completed the fabrication of a 27,500-litre custom tank designed for a major mining operation. Engineered to store Iron (II) Sulfate (density 1.30 g/cm³), this HDPE tank showcases our commitment to delivering tailored chemical storage solutions for heavy industry.
Transported interstate across Australia, the project highlights our expertise in providing solutions that are not only robust and secure but also custom designed to meet specific installation footprints and operational demands.
Tank Details
Constructed from black PE100 High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), this custom tank boasts a cylindrical design with dimensions of 3820 mm in diameter and 3000 mm in height (including the mixer upstand). Its construction involves a 30 mm thick wall, complemented by 20 mm thick base and roof, ensuring both durability and stability under operational stress. By choosing to develop a custom tank, we were able to optimise the design to fit the designated site footprint perfectly, allowing for efficient space utilisation without compromising on structural integrity or functionality.
A notable feature of the tank is the 800 mm diameter side manway, which provides straightforward access for routine maintenance and inspections. Each fitting and penetration has been precision-welded, adhering to best practices for thermoplastic welding to maintain the mechanical strength and chemical resistance required by such demanding applications. Custom tanks like this one allow for detailed specifications in terms of both materials and design, ensuring that every aspect of the project aligns with the client’s unique operational requirements.
Custom Tank Advantages
This project not only reflects our technical capabilities but also underscores the advantages of opting for a custom tank. Custom tanks are specifically designed to a given footprint, maximising available space and meeting stringent operational and safety standards. Whether addressing the needs of mining, water treatment, or industrial processing, the bespoke approach ensures that each tank is purpose-built for the task at hand.
With this installation, we reinforce our position as a reliable partner for providing custom tank solutions that combine engineering precision with application-specific design. We continue to work closely with engineers to deliver dependable, tailored storage solutions that meet the demands of complex industrial projects.
