Description

The Elkhart Plastics 3000 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank 1.5 SG (MPN 107068A01) is a seamless, one-piece rotomolded vertical tank molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) for chemical and liquid storage. It is rated for 1.5 specific gravity (12.5 lb/gal), so it can hold liquids up to 1.5 times the weight of water. The tank measures 95" in diameter and 109" tall, weighs 625 lb and is molded in natural. In this size Elkhart Plastics also makes the 3000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank 1.0 SG in black (MPN 307068A00) and the 3000 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank 1.9 SG in light blue (MPN 307068A01).

Elkhart Plastics Industrial Chemical Tanks are built to ANSI 61 wall thickness standards with a tough tank top and are offered in multiple specific gravity ratings for agriculture, industrial and residential applications. This tank comes with one 16" manway lid with gasket, a 2" female NPT bulkhead inlet fitting with threaded plug at the top and a 3" female NPT bulkhead outlet/drain fitting with threaded plug at the bottom. Elkhart Plastics is a Myers Industries company.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is it made of?
The tank is molded from high-density polyethylene (HDPE) built with FDA-compliant materials. The fittings are polypropylene with EPDM gaskets.

What specific gravity is it rated for?
It is rated for 1.5 specific gravity (12.5 lb/gal). Water is 1.0 specific gravity (8.3 lb/gal).

What are the dimensions?
It measures 95" in diameter and 109" tall and weighs 625 lb.

Which chemicals can I store in it?
The buyer is responsible for confirming the chemical is compatible with the HDPE tank, the polypropylene fittings and the EPDM gaskets at the expected storage temperature. Check the chemical resistance chart in the Elkhart Plastics Technical Guide (linked below), or contact Tank Supply Direct before ordering.

What can I use it for?
Liquid chemicals and fertilizers in agriculture, industrial and residential applications, within its specific gravity and chemical compatibility limits.

What temperature can it handle?
Elkhart Plastics rates its tanks for intermittent temperatures up to 140°F (60°C) and sustained temperatures up to 120°F (49°C). Service temperatures above that lower the tank's specific gravity rating. Deionized water can be stored at up to 100°F (38°C).

Can it be buried or pressurized?
No. Elkhart Plastics liquid tanks are not engineered for burial and cannot be pressurized or put under vacuum. The tank must be vented for filling and emptying.

What does it need to sit on?
A level, well-drained site that fully supports the tank bottom. Elkhart Plastics recommends reinforced concrete support pads for tanks over 1,000 gallons, and anchoring to your site's seismic and wind requirements. Vertical bulk storage tanks are for stationary use only, not transport.

What other versions come in this size?
Elkhart Plastics also makes the 3000 Gallon Vertical Water Storage Tank 1.0 SG in black (MPN 307068A00) and the 3000 Gallon Vertical Chemical Storage Tank 1.9 SG in light blue (MPN 307068A01).

How long does it take to ship, and where does it ship from?
