Polyethylene Tanks

Polyethylene tanks provide a safe, reliable and cost-effective solution for storing a wide range of liquids and chemicals. These tanks offer excellent chemical resistance, long service life and low maintenance, making them a popular choice across many industrial and commercial sectors.

What is a Polyethylene Tank?

Polyethylene tanks are corrosion-resistant storage tanks manufactured from polyethylene, most commonly high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Renowned for its strength and excellent resistance to chemical attack, polyethylene is one of the most widely used materials for industrial liquid storage.

These tanks are designed to safely store acids, alkalis, water, process chemicals, and oils. Unlike traditional steel tanks, polyethylene tanks will not rust or corrode, reducing maintenance requirements and extending operational life.

Our polyethylene chemical tanks are manufactured to meet the requirements of each application, providing safe, reliable storage solutions.

What Are Polyethylene Tanks Used For?

Polyethylene tanks are used across a wide range of industries wherever the safe storage, handling or processing of liquids is required. Their chemical resistance makes them suitable for storing many aggressive chemicals and their durability allows them to perform in challenging operating conditions.

Common uses include chemical storage, water treatment, wastewater processing, agriculture, manufacturing, food production and industrial process systems. Polyethylene tanks are also frequently used for storing cleaning chemicals, fertilisers, oils and process liquids, with tank designs available to suit a variety of capacities and installation requirements.

One of the key advantages of polyethylene tanks is their lightweight construction. Compared with steel, they are significantly easier to transport, position and install, helping to reduce installation costs. UV-stabilised polyethylene tanks are also suitable for outdoor use, maintaining their structural integrity and performance when exposed to sunlight and changing weather conditions.

Available in a wide range of shapes, sizes and configurations, polyethylene tanks can be supplied to meet specific site requirements and operational needs.
