As part of the water and wastewater treatment industry, you support everyday life. That means you need quality equipment to help get the job done right.

Storage tanks are essential for your field, but corrosive chemicals like hydrochloric acid make finding durable storage solutions difficult. Specifically, the chemical makes your operation more prone to leaks and unexpected bursts, leading to safety risks. But, long-lasting and trustworthy storage solutions exist with Assmann.

We are dedicated to producing tough polyethylene tanks built to store hydrochloric acid and other harsh chemicals. From the material we use to the fittings we sell, you can be sure every detail is designed with efficiency and safety in mind.

 

Selecting Reliable Materials

Hydrochloric acid’s corrosive properties make searching for storage solutions complex.

Some tanks will break down over time, others are too costly, and most simply can’t safely store the chemical. Through tested experience and extensive research, Assmann has found that crosslink polyethylene provides the perfect balance of quality and budget. The secret is in the molecular structure.

Crosslink polyethylene contains a more complete structure, creating a higher softening point and greater environmental stress cracking resistance.

Additionally, we are dedicated to producing corrosion-resistant tanks that are designed to outlast and outperform the competition.

Store hydrochloric acid without worry in an Assmann crosslink polyethylene tank where quality starts from scratch.

 

Maintaining Regulatory Compliance for the Best Operational Efficiency

We understand the importance of standards. That’s how we’ve become the only manufacturer with an NSF certification for our crosslink polyethylene tanks in chemical storage applications.

With chemicals as powerful and toxic as hydrochloric acid, maintaining regulatory compliance is vital. At Assmann, we ensure all our products follow the proper policies especially for hydrochloric acid.

Due to toxic fumes, ventilation is a necessity for stored hydrochloric acid. Our products offer a variety of venting options as well as manway covers to help minimize harmful fumes.

For additional safety precautions, consider having a secondary containment system. These storage tanks will provide a space for your hydrochloric acid to go if your first tank fails.

Secondary containment is another product Assmann offers which can be customized to meet your storage needs.
