| By Scott Jenkins


Large-volume polypropylene and polyethylene storage tanks from this company are available in capacities from 100 to 50,000 gal. The ready-for-installation tanks are made by extruding polypropylene or polyethylene around a steel drum mold. They are manufactured in various thicknesses, according to the client’s requirements and the type of substance to be stored. The tanks are structurally strong, and non-bulging even at the largest sizes. The polypropylene tank can hold material at temperatures up to 200oF. The tanks also can be equipped with manways, catwalks, ladders, level control gages and venting. They are suitable for storage applications in chemicals, water treatment, agriculture, pharmaceuticals, petroleum and other industries. — Houston Polytank, Hopkins, Mo.
