An alkali tank must have high resistance against acids and alkalis and possess anti-corrosive properties against these substances. The construction of alkali tanks is one of the activities of Iranian ABtank Company, which can be customized according to customer preferences. Since polyethylene is a highly resistant material, it can be used to construct acid-resistant tanks. Therefore, polyethylene tanks can be used as acid tanks without concern.
Polypropylene tanks are another option for producing alkali tanks. Polypropylene is noted for its high resistance and more affordable price compared to polyethylene, making it a popular choice.
In addition to polyethylene tanks, plastic tanks reinforced with fiber, known as FRP, are also suitable for storing acids and alkalis. Acidic materials emit heat during dilution and various processes, causing the tank to heat up. Therefore, during construction, it is crucial to consider how much heat the tank can withstand.
Stainless Steel Alkali Tanks
Besides polyethylene and composite tanks for storing acidic materials, stainless steel metal tanks are another option for storing acids and alkalis. Iranian Ista Polymer Sharif Company can expertly manufacture metal acid-resistant tanks that exhibit high resistance and durability against corrosive substances. The advantage of metal tanks for storing and preserving acidic and alkaline materials is their longer lifespan and higher impact resistance, allowing them to function effectively for a longer period.
We do not recommend storing acidic substances in acid tanks for extended periods, as highly concentrated acidic or alkaline materials can cause dents, holes, or tears in the tank.
The tanks produced by Iranian Ista Polymer Sharif Company can store acidic materials such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and more. For custom construction of an acid-resistant tank for a specific acidic material, it is best to contact the company for expert guidance to ensure you make the right and complete choice.
It is advisable to install the acid-resistant tank slightly above ground level. The construction of the acid-resistant tank should be double or multi-walled for higher resistance. The pressure and temperature of the environment should be considered when constructing an acid-resistant tank.
