As summer nears, safe chemical storage becomes increasingly important. The season’s sweltering heat can lead to chemical reactions, resulting in dangerous situations for you, your employees, and your company.
It’s imperative you take the steps to prepare your chemical storage tanks before the scorching heat arrives.
Your Selections Matter
Your venting systems and pick of tank material could mean the difference between proper containment and a chemical reaction this season.
We understand that while these choices may seem overwhelming, they are vital for safely storing chemicals. At Assmann, we use that knowledge to help you pick the best options to prevent dangerous reactions.
One of the largest elements in storing chemicals is the tank. It has a crucial role in determining whether chemicals will have no effect or a severe effect while stored. Our research and experience show polyethylene consistently ranks as “excellent” for containing chemicals at ambient temperatures with no effect.
The next piece of the summer storage puzzle is ventilation. We are firm believers that you can never have too much venting.
There are several variables to consider when choosing the right venting system for your storage tank: flow rates, delivery rates, and more. Our experts are well-versed in the options available and are ready to assist you.
Proper storage is within reach for heat-sensitive chemicals, let us guide you through the process.
