While hydrochloric acid storage can be complex due to its corrosive properties, it’s essential to the operations of both municipal and industrial water treatment. Facilities use the chemical primarily to adjust pH levels and regenerate ion-exchange resins.

We understand that durable, quality tanks are necessary to store such a vital chemical which is why we don’t cut corners when manufacturing our polyethylene tanks. With Assmann, you get access to the only NSF certified crosslink polyethylene tanks for safe chemical storage as well as expert advice from our seasoned professionals.

Storage Safety

Some of the safest storage solutions for hydrochloric acid are ones that can withstand the chemical’s corrosive nature.

Polyethylene has become a clear storage option as a result of its strong bonds. We took the next step by developing our crosslink polyethylene tanks. The material has a higher softening point than regular linear polyethylene, making it corrosion resistant.

Each Assmann tank is crafted with uniform wall thickness, providing structural integrity and additional protection. Our efforts result in tanks that are less susceptible to tears and spills. We make safety a priority and quality a guarantee. Assmann tanks are the solution to your chemical storage needs.

Best Practices

Safe hydrochloric acid storage goes beyond durable tanks, it’s about implementing best practices to benefit you, your employees and your business. Some of the smallest features can make all the difference in chemical storage. For hydrochloric acid specifically, extra attention should be directed to a tank’s venting system as well as bolted or gasketed manway covers.

We’ve found that properly securing the covers and installing ventilation safely accounts for the chemical’s fumes. Our experts also recommend using several smaller tanks rather than one large tank for hydrochloric acid when possible. By prioritizing these best practices, you can ensure the safety of your employees while lessening your chance of making a costly mistake.
