Ferric Sulfate Storage

What is Ferric Sulfate?

Ferric Sulfate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Fe2(SO4)3(H2O). It is commonly used in water treatment, as an industrial waste coagulant, in dermatology, and in dentistry. Ferric Sulfate is used to remove sedimentation in water to prepare it for drinking.

Where Can I Store It?

  • 316L Stainless Steel Storage Tank
    • Recommended for higher concentrations of above 49%
    • Store in chemical storage or industrial facilities
  • XLPE (Cross-Linked Polyethylene)
    • Recommended for lower concentrations of up to 49%
    • Store in chemical storage or industrial facilities or well-ventilated warehouse
  • HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene)
    • Very low concentrations of ferric sulfate of up to 10%
    • Store at a secure, well-ventilated warehouse with restricted access
  • LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene)
    • Not recommended for ferric sulfate storage as it is poor chemical resistance
    • High risk of leaks and contamination

*Ferric sulfate is highly corrosive and can cause severe burns. Always handle with care!

Secondary Containment Options

Secondary containment is required for all Ferric sulfate tank systems. Engineering safety protocols recommend that secondary containment contains at least 110% of the total system volume. So, if you are storing 100 Gallons of Ferric sulfate you would need at least 110 Gallons of secondary containment for Ferric sulfate. A common method of providing secondary containment for Ferric sulfate is to erect a concrete dike around the tank with an acid resistant coating. Other common methods are using containment basins, sumps, and double walled tanks. All Secondary containment options should adhere to local regulations and code. One Clarion provides a wide selection of secondary containment options.
