Corrosive Chemical Storage
CHEMICAL STORAGE TANKS
One Clarion Chemical Storage Tanks are engineered to withstand the most challenging of storage situations and can replace many Steel, and Stainless Steel constructed tanks. Made of either HIGH DENSITY LINEAR POLYETHYLENE (for applications up to 120°F) or POLYPROPYLENE (for high-temperature applications 180°F- 200°F)
Storage of certain concentrated chemicals can be extremely challenging, because of concerns such as chemical attack, high specific gravity, UV attack and oxidation. With tanks supplied by One Clarion these become non-issues! Our tanks are extremely well-suited to concentrated chemicals such as:
Sulfuric Acid
Sodium Hypochlorite (Bleach)
Hydrochloric Acid
Nitric Acid
Ferric Sulfate
Hydrogen Peroxide
Variety of others
Note: Level of concentration is dependent on storage temperature
