The vertical tank produced by ABtank Company can be made from various materials according to customer needs. Depending on the location where the water tank will be installed, you might need a vertical tank to save installation space. Vertical tanks are usually more suitable for outdoor locations because the vertical orientation puts more pressure on the tank’s cross-section. Therefore, they should be installed on a firm, well-prepared surface. Our experts use software simulations to determine the pressure on the surface and walls and recommend the best material for your tank.
Vertical water tanks can be made from galvanized steel, stainless steel, composite tank material, or multi-layer polyethylene. If the tank is to be installed outside, weather resistance and algae growth prevention are also important considerations.
Most ABtank customers prefer polyethylene or galvanized tanks for their vertical tanks. Using galvanized sheets in tank construction provides high resistance and durability. Multi-layer food-grade vertical polyethylene tanks are also a great option for vertical tank construction. Regardless of the material used, we enhance the strength of vertical tanks to a significant extent, making them earthquake-resistant and highly resistant to storms and natural elements.
What is a Vertical Polyethylene Tank?
Your tank can be made with one, two, or three layers, and some customers may order a four-layer or five-layer polyethylene tank. These tanks can also include foam. Global standards are well adhered to in the production of vertical tanks.
These tanks are used for storing drinking water, chemicals, and pharmaceuticals. They are produced and marketed with consideration for Iran’s climatic conditions, making them resistant to UV radiation. A vertical polyethylene tank typically consists of three layers, one of which is black to prevent light penetration, thereby inhibiting algae growth inside the tank, ensuring it remains hygienic and clean.
In addition, polyethylene tanks are resistant to chemicals, including acids and bases, making them a suitable alternative to stainless steel tanks and acid tanks.
:Features of Vertical Water Tank
- The raw materials used for these tanks are completely sanitary and food-grade.
- These tanks are seamless and integral.
- They have very low thermal conductivity.
- They are easy to transport.
- They can be installed quickly and easily.
- As mentioned above, they are made of three completely hygienic layers and are UV-resistant.
- The layers prevent algae growth.
- They are well-resistant to acids, bases, and other chemicals and corrosive substances.
- They provide thermal insulation.
Vertical Water Tanks or Cylindrical Tanks
As you know, these types of tanks are very versatile. Due to limited space in various locations, people prefer vertical tanks. Before purchasing cylindrical water tanks, you should also consider the height of the installation site. Vertical polyethylene tanks are commonly used for domestic purposes, apartments, utility rooms, urban gardens, rooftops, etc.
If you have suitable and adequate space for a cylindrical tank, you can be sure you’ve made the best choice. Because these plastic tanks have a greater height compared to other water tanks, the water pressure in them is also higher.
If you plan to use these tanks at high elevations, always remember the safety precautions! For example, make sure to secure the tank to the supports around it. This can be done using a strapping method around the tank. The tank should be firmly and securely fixed to the supports with special straps.
When to Use a Vertical Water Tank?
As mentioned above, these types of tanks not only take up less space but also have a long service life. Do you know why ABtank multi-layer vertical tank is better for water storage? These tanks are typically made from food-grade polyethylene sheets in compliance with global health and food standards and are produced and marketed in one, two, three, four, or five layers. For general purposes, three-layer tanks, which are also anti-algae and antibacterial, can be a good option. If you intend to store a large volume of water in a vertical tank, consider the following:
Due to the high density of water, it can exert high pressure on the cross-section and walls of the tank at height. Therefore, heed the experts’ recommendations for using multi-layer tanks and reinforcing them seriously.
Due to the high water pressure at height, we generally recommend horizontal tanks to ABtank customers. However, if the customer cannot accommodate this, more attention should be paid to safety measures, and simulations should be completed before tank construction. Proper foundational preparation is crucial and must be done well and leveled.
