Double Wall Storage Tanks

Double wall tanks are ideal for storing corrosive, environmentally hazardous, chemical and other dangerous substances that could potentially endanger the health and safety of workers or damage the environment and threaten public health in the event of spillage.

Use of double walled tanks is being increasingly required by local and federal government regulations as a precaution against accidents, particularly during the transport of dangerous, hazardous and other products, as well as for underground storage purposes.

All of ACO’s durable, double wall tanks come with both an inner tank and a secondary outer tank that has 120% the capacity of the inner tank and serves for containment purposes in the event of spillage.

In addition, the dome of the inside tank overlaps the sidewalls of the outer tank and so prevents the entrance of debris into con, rain, and snow from getting into the containment area.

 

ACO’s seamless, one-piece, double wall tanks are manufactured out of high grade HDPE or XHDPE/XLPE polyethylene and are, in fact, tough enough to resist chemical erosion even better than mild steel, stainless steel or FDP.

Moreover, like all ACO’s polyethylene products, ACO double wall tanks are fabricated to ASTM specifications. These one-piece tanks are extremely rugged, durable and stabilized against damage by the sun’s ultraviolet radiation. They are also designed to resist low temperature impacts and so are ideal for cold storage areas.

ACO’s wide selection of double wall tanks have different capacities and specifications that make them suitable for storing and transporting liquids with specific gravities (densities) of less than 1.5, less than 1.9, and less than 2.2.

Upper fitting flats come as standard on all ACO’s double wall tanks. Large tanks have lifting lugs and lower fitting flats molded into the bottom section in such a way as to permit the entry of the sturdy bottom outlet (optional).

ACO’s closed top double wall storage tanks have an extensive range of optional accessories, including different fittings and manway lids to meet with your requirements. Please contact us for more information about your needs and particular specifications.

ACO’s entire range of double wall tanks are ideal for storage uses where a double shell and secondary containment facility are paramount for safety and security purposes.
