BURIED HORIZONTAL TANKS
Spirolite™ detention and storage tanks are available for stormwater, leachate sewage and industrial solutions. Potentially hazardous liquids can be stored with confidence in Spirolite™ tanks ranging from 10,000 to 80,000 gallons and above. Custom tanks incorporating the advantages of HDPE are leak free, chemically resistant, lightweight, durable and easily modified to meet future requirements. Inherent corrosion resistance ensures long service life without costly cathodic protection systems, liners or coatings.
BENEFITS
Manufactured using the unique Spirolite™ production process using bimodal high density PE4710/PE100 resin, Spirolite™ tanks offer the perfect combination of extra high strength and affordability.
Spirolite™ HDPE is resistant to most industrial chemicals at ambient temperatures.
Containing 2% carbon black, Spirolite™ HDPE tanks are fully-resistant to ultraviolet (UV) degradation. They are resistant to abrasion and exterior corrosion.
Spirolite™ HDPE tanks are available either vertical or horizontal up to 120” inside diameter.
Lightweight Spirolite™ HDPE requires less material-handling capacity than metals and concrete structures of equal size.
Flat bottoms and strong, weight-carrying tops are fully welded to heavy wall shells. Manways and nozzles are installed per customer requirements.
Spirolite™ HDPE is hydrophobic with excellent non-stick properties making tanks and structures easy to clean.
Most chemicals which attack other products will not harm Spirolite™ tanks. Spirolite resists over 700 chemicals in various combinations and concentrations, and under different temperature conditions. Only certain solvents, aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolics, chlorinated hydrocarbons, fats, and some oils have any effect on these tanks. Spirolite™ tanks will not rust or decay and they are not subject to electrolytic or galvanic corrosion.
Harsh environmental conditions and the degrading effects of ultraviolet rays will not affect Spirolite™ tanks. They are built to last. They will not rot or discolor and require no painting.
Rugged Spirolite™ tanks are made from high-density, high-molecular weight polyethylene (HDPE) using a resin tailored to produce tanks that are tough, strong, and reliable. Spirolite™ tanks are manufactured using an exclusive process by which a specially designed extrusion is continuously wound upon a mandrel. Heat fusion techniques create homogeneous bonds that are permanent, reliable, and completely leak proof.
A wide variety of fittings and accessories including flanged inlets and outlets, vents, valves, sight glasses, and float gauges are available with Spirolite™ tanks. Custom equipped interiors may also be provided on special order.
Standard Spirolite™ tanks are offered in a range of capacities from 315 to 10,000 gallons. Non-standard sizes are available on special order.
Smooth, non-wetting surfaces minimize the possibility of substances adhering to the interior of Spirolite™ tanks. Spirolite tanks are easy to clean them and easy to change contents. And because they can be refilled quickly, fewer storage tanks are needed. Fewer tanks and efficient utilization saves you money.
These tanks will not contaminate their contents nor will the contents react with the tank. They are practically free from taste or odor and will not promote algae or bacterial growth. They also have good flavor retention and barrier properties.
In many applications, Spirolite™ tanks are 4 to 6 times more abrasion resistant than steel. This product is suited for handling slurry solutions that require agitation.
Spirolite™ tanks are significantly lighter than tanks made of traditional materials. Their lightweight makes them easier to install. Spirolite™ tanks require no expensive structural alterations or special handling equipment. Lightweight also means reduced shipping and transportation costs.
