CUSTOM HOLDING TANK
Introduction
Custom holding tanks represent an important part of modern industrial infrastructure, providing tailored solutions for diverse liquid or bag storage needs. From agriculture to industrial, these tanks offer irreplacible flexibility and efficiency.
Understanding Custom Holding Tanks
Types of Flexible Tanks:
Collapsible tanks for muti-liquid storage and transportation:
- Water store is the most regular usage, not only for wastewater treatment, but also for drinking water storage by using food-grade materials.
- Fuel storage and transportation, use portable tanks in various applications, including the military, marine, airport, industrial, etc.
- Chemical storage, mostly for acid liquid storage, as PVC is a best choice for acid.
Evolution of Tank Design
- Pillow shape tanks, this is the most popular type of tanks, usually use for liquid storage&transportation.
- Top open bags: it’s a reusable ton bag, can use for liquid and particles holding&transportation.
- Custom shape tanks, use in limited space and the specific needs.
Explore the historical development of holding tanks, from traditional rigid structures to modern flexible designs.
Advantages of Customization
Flexible tanks provide the most flexible customization, the factors includes:
- Shape, based on the drawings, workshop can make it come true.
- Material, for different liquid purpose, changing the materials to meet the compatibility.
- Size, ranges from 50L to 1,000,000L, besides the regular sizes, others can be customized.
- Fittings, for different working condition, using the suitable fittings to facilitate the connections.
Materials and Construction
Reliable materials is the essence of the quality. Flixtank flexible tanks use durable PVC/TPU for those, providing over 10 years serve lifes.
Over 20 years working experience in this field, we know how to make the tanks durable and good apperance. Reinforced construction for each tank makes sure the quality.
Applications of Custom Holding Tank
Agricultual Sector
Custom holiding tank plays a crucial role in agriculture for water storage, irrigation, and liquid fertilizer management. Flexibility makes them can be folded when empty to save the space of warehouse.
Chemical Storage
Chemical industries utilize custom tanks for safe and secure storage of acid or alkali solutions. Plastic PVC tank is an ideal for those liquids.
Food Industrial
Tanks customized for edible storage must be food-grade materials, TPU for flexible tanks meets the FDA certificate.
Construction Liquid Storage
In construction site, the flexible tanks can work in different places:
For fuel storage, fuel tank can use as an auxiliary energy supply source. And at construction site, the fuel storage and supply sometimes is temporary, then collapsible tanks for storage and transportation can make the process easier.
For drinking water supply, providing reliable water source to workers is needed in all construction sites. But traditional tank is not easy to move and install, so the collapsible tanks help.
For wastewater treatment. at construction site, wastewater from life is a problem. How to make the treament is necessary to be considered. The bladders can be easy to deploy and transport.
Road Compaction
During road construction, the compaction is a critical step. Water tanks can work in an easy way to perform this: placing the protection liner, deploying the bladder on the road, filling the bladders, after compation finished, releasing the water, rolled and packed in carton and can reuse it next time.
Emergency Humanitarian Response
If we say where to use the flexible tanks the most, of course the emergency situation. The bladder is flexible, can be packed in small carton. Also easy to install, making quick deployment and response. Those features make flexible tanks the best choice for emergency situations for water(including drinking water), fuel, chemical liquid storage and transportation.
Aircraft Fuel Storage
In aircraft, the flexible fuel bladders mostly used in 2 ways:
- Fuel bladder inside the fuel tank to avoid leakage and protect the fuel tank, which needs the bladder to meet the shape of the fuel tank. For different aircraft, the fuel bladder is different, contact factory to do the customization.
- Auxiliary fuel bladder, which works as plan B in air to ensure there is no shortage on fuel.
Subsea Liquid Storage&Transportation
Working process under the sea, when you choose the material can’t only consider the compatibility between the liquid and materiial, also should think the salty sea water into it. The flexible PVC/TPU can play critical role in those projects.
Environmental Considerations
Sustainability
Flexible tanks can serve over 10 years in right way, please follow the instruments from the suppllier.
Recyclability
Custom PVC/TPU tanks are not one-time used products, they’re reusable, follow the guide on how to clean before store or reuse it.
Conclusion
Custom holding tanks represent an innovative role of modern industrial operations, offering flexible solutions for diverse applications. Their adaptability, efficiency, and sustainability make them indispensable assets across various sectors, promising continued innovation and growth.
