FAQ
What types of chemicals are safe to store in your tanks?
Our tanks are compatible with a wide range of industrial chemicals including acids, alkalis, brines, surfactants, and cleaning agents. Material compatibility depends on chemical concentration and temperature. We recommend checking your chemical against our compatibility chart or speaking with our team to confirm suitability.
Do your tanks meet regulatory requirements for chemical storage in Canada?
Yes. Our chemical tanks are manufactured to meet or exceed relevant Canadian and U.S. safety standards, including CSA, UL, and OSHA guidelines. They are suitable for use in regulated environments such as water treatment plants, industrial facilities, and municipal operations.
How can I reduce the risk of leaks or spills from chemical storage tanks?
Using double-wall tanks, installing overfill alarms, and placing tanks within containment basins are key steps. We also offer optional leak detection sensors and venting systems to maintain pressure balance and further reduce risk.
Can these tanks be customized for my site’s layout or process needs?
Absolutely. We offer custom tank sizes, wall thickness options, fittings, flanges, manways, and complete skid-mounted systems. Our team works with engineers and contractors to match your flow rates, chemical type, and available space.
How often should I inspect or maintain a chemical storage tank?
We recommend visual checks weekly and full inspections at least once a year. Look for signs of wear, discoloration, cracks, or loose fittings. For critical systems, schedule more frequent inspections and consult with our support team for a maintenance plan.
