Plastic tanks used in the chemical processing industry are manufactured in different models depending on the structure of the stored chemical, operating temperature, process requirements, and plant architecture. Made from engineering plastics such as HDPE, PP, and PVC, these tanks are among the most reliable equipment in the industry thanks to their high chemical resistance, long service life, and low maintenance costs. Master Plast offers a wide range of products, from HDPE tanks designed specifically for industry needs to agitator process tanks, immersion tanks, and acid storage tanks, providing safe solutions for chemical plants.
Below, you can find a detailed overview of the most commonly used plastic tank models in the chemical processing industry and their intended uses.
HDPE Tanks
HDPE tanks are manufactured from high-density polyethylene and are one of the most reliable storage solutions in terms of chemical resistance. They are ideal for acids, bases, solvents, polymer solutions, agricultural chemicals, and food acids. They have high impact resistance, are UV resistant, and provide trouble-free service for many years. They are widely used in the chemical, water treatment, food, galvanizing, and agricultural sectors.
PP Tanks
Polypropylene tanks are indispensable for many chemical processes, particularly due to their high temperature resistance. They can operate safely up to 100°C. They are frequently preferred in applications such as sulfuric acid, nitric acid, caustic soda, paint processes, and polymer solution preparation. PP tanks are manufactured with 100% leak-proof extrusion welding by Master Plast engineers.
PE–PP Dip Tanks
Galvanizing lines are specially designed for surface treatment processes, acid washing applications, and metal cleaning processes. They provide high chemical resistance thanks to polyethylene and polypropylene material options. They are indispensable for industrial lines as they can be produced in large sizes.
Tanks with Mixers
It is one of the most critical process equipment in the chemical industry. It is used in processes such as polymer solution preparation, reaction management, paint and resin mixing, and homogenization of food acids. It is manufactured with a reinforced body design to withstand the mixer motor load. Top, side, or bottom mixer integration is possible.
Hidden Conical-Bottomed Tanks
It is preferred in processes requiring rapid and complete drainage. The tank body is manufactured with an integrated “hidden cone” at the bottom, ensuring a hygienic, sediment-free structure that allows for complete flow. It is frequently used in wastewater, chemical disposal, polymer preparation, and concentrated solutions.
Treatment System Tanks
Wastewater tanks, pure water tanks, deionized water tanks, and chemical dosing tanks are essential equipment for treatment plants. Manufactured from HDPE and PP, these tanks are resistant to treatment chemicals and corrosion caused by microorganisms.
Ventilation Systems
In facilities with high concentrations of chemical vapors, ventilation ducts, exhaust systems, and odor removal units are manufactured from special PP-PVC material. These systems are critical for both worker safety and facility efficiency.
Chemical Storage Plastic Tank Models
Master Plast manufactures specialized tanks for many specific chemicals used in the chemical industry. Since each chemical has a different density, pH value, and operating temperature, tank design requires complete engineering. The main types of chemical tanks produced are as follows:
