  With so many materials out there, it can be difficult to choose what kind of storage tank to purchase! However, probably the most common material question consumers often find themselves asking when it comes to tanks is: “metal or fiberglass?” Though metal is often thought of as a classic tank material, FRP tanks should not be overlooked! They offer many benefits that can make them a smarter choice than a metal tank. Fiberglass tanks  are incredibly strong, especially given how lightweight they are in comparison to other offerings, such as metal tanks. Having a good “strength to weight ratio” is key, as lighter weight tanks simply provide so many more options. Generally speaking, the lighter weight a tank is, the easier and cheaper said tank will be to install. Lightweight Fiberglass water tanks also help cut down on shipping costs, all while still generally being strong enough to hold up against being stored underground. Of course, fiberglass tanks are not simply lightweigh...

  So many industries require the use of more aggressive chemicals at some point along the production process. Strong chemicals can form the backbone of industries from pharmaceuticals to water treatment. However, storing these more aggressive chemicals can be stressful. A potential leak could cause harm to human health or environmental damage. As such, it is of utmost importance to always invest in the appropriate storage technology to ensure peak safety and security. If you are in a business that requires the storage of potentially hazardous chemicals, then a technology you could very well benefit from our double wall tanks . Minimizing the hazard of working with aggressive chemicals involves a variety of factors. Firstly, proper precautions must absolutely always be taken during storage. However, in addition to taking precautions when working with aggressive chemicals, it is also important to invest in the right equipment. One of the most important pieces of equipment when it com...

Hydrochloric acid can be a very important chemical with various uses, such as the production of tin. However, it is also a very dangerous chemical that needs incredibly safe and top-notch storage solutions. One of the biggest challenges to storing hydrochloric acid is that it is very corrosive, and can quickly become unsafe when handled incorrectly. Hopefully, this article can help clear up a few salient points to keep in mind when looking to house this potent compound. Smart safety precautions can improve the efficacy of a hydrochloric acid storage tank immensely. For example, it is highly recommended that you make an investment in something called “secondary containment.” The idea behind secondary containment is that it provides an extra level of precaution against potentially dangerous accidents concerning hydrochloric acid. Choosing hydrochloric acid storage with a secondary containment feature, as one of Belding Tank’s double-walled tanks, can decrease the likelihood of a dangero...

Sulfuric Acid is one of the most important industrial chemicals and is used in the production of fertilizers, manufacturing chemicals, metal processing, and many other   industries. However, it is also an aggressive acid that requires special storage consideration, and must always be handled with the utmost caution and safety. This article can help add a bit more clarity to some of the additional precautions to keep in mind while looking for   sulfuric acid tank   storage. Fibreglass tanks, such as those offered by Belding Tank, can be a cost-effective method for storing sulfuric acid. Because sulfuric acid is an incredibly aggressive chemical, make sure that if you are going to purchase a fibreglass tank, that you choose one that is manufactured with high-quality resins and acid-resistant glass. You must also make sure that you never use a fibreglass tank to store concentrations of sulfuric acid above 80%. Something else you may want to keep in mind is that solutions of ...

When you are storing diesel, contamination from water is a big problem. When the water penetrates your tank, it can degrade the diesel fuel, which will cause it not to function as  well when you put it in the vehicles that use it. Besides reducing the performance of the vehicle, contamination from water can also cause the fuel to freeze faster, which can risk the vehicles and other equipment. For this reason, the integrity of your diesel fuel is vital, and preventing your  diesel storage tank  from getting infiltrated with water is vital. Caring for Diesel Def Tanks You must prevent water from entering your diesel tanks. You might be wondering why since there is already some water in this type of fuel. Every kind of fuel has at least a little bit of water in it. Because your diesel fuel is not as refined as gas is, it can hold a bit more water. A little water in the fuel is normal and it will dissolve, but having too much water can be a bigger issue. This might come from ...
