Core Features:
-
High-Pressure Capability: Rated for 250 PSI, this tank is suitable for applications requiring pressurized storage of liquids, gases, or fuel products. Engineered to withstand significant internal pressure while maintaining structural integrity underground.
-
Horizontal Orientation: Low-profile horizontal design allows for efficient underground installation with reduced excavation depth requirements compared to vertical vessels.
-
37.42" Outside Diameter: Compact diameter facilitates transport, handling, and installation in standard utility trenches or excavation sites.
-
500 Gallon Nominal Capacity: Provides substantial working volume for fuel storage, water treatment chemicals, produced water, compressed air, or other pressurized media. (Consult exact working capacity based on specific gravity and fill limits.)
-
Underground (UG) Construction: Designed specifically for below-grade installation. Features include:
-
Corrosion-resistant exterior coating or cathodic protection compatibility
-
Reinforced shell for earth and traffic load bearing
-
Suitable for direct burial without requiring a secondary containment vault (verify local codes)
-
Heavy-Gauge Steel Construction: Fabricated from pressure-grade carbon steel (typical ASTM A516 or equivalent) to meet 250 PSI design specifications.
-
Welded Seams: Precision longitudinal and circumferential welds, typically radiographically inspected or tested to applicable pressure vessel codes.
Typical Applications:
-
Underground fuel storage (diesel, gasoline, biofuels – verify compatibility)
-
Produced water storage at well sites
-
Compressed air or gas storage
-
Chemical or additive storage (water treatment, industrial processes)
-
Hydraulic oil or lube oil storage
-
Industrial process pressure vessels
