rectangular plastic tank
Over the past two decades, there has been a trend toward the increased use of non-metallic tank/pump systems with liquid contact components made of chemically inert materials.^There are several advantages to non-metallic construction: The light weight of plastics lowers shipping costs, facilitates installation and simplifies movement from one location to another.^Standard plastic tanks usually are readily available from stock in square, rectangular and cylindrical designs, in capacities from 55 to 2,000 gallons.^Custom designs normally can be furnished on short delivery schedules since plastic sheet and shapes are stock items and assembly is simple.^Tank construction materials are available to safely contain the broadest range of corrosive and abrasive liquids.^For pressurized service requiring metal tanks, a thermoplastic can be used to coat the surfaces in contact with the fluid.^Service-proven, non-metallic pumps are available for flows from fractional to 1,450 gpm.^They include rotary, horizontal centrifugal and vertical (sump) types.^A wide range of non-metallic instrumentation and controls in available from stock.
