Frequently Asked Questions
1. What types of liquids can be stored in an IBC tank?
Our IBC tanks are designed to store a variety of liquids, including water-based solutions, oils, lubricants, and food-grade products. The material compatibility varies, with HDPE and stainless steel being the most common materials used. For water-based liquids, HDPE is suitable, while oils and lubricants can be stored in both HDPE and stainless steel tanks. Food-grade products require HDPE tanks that meet food safety standards. Always ensure that the tank material is compatible with the specific liquid to prevent degradation or contamination.
2. Can I store hazardous chemicals in an IBC tank?
Yes, our IBC tanks can store hazardous chemicals such as acids and solvents. However, it's crucial to select the appropriate material for the specific chemical. Stainless steel tanks (304/316 grades) are generally recommended for storing aggressive chemicals due to their corrosion resistance. It's essential to consult with our technical team to determine the best material and design for your specific chemical storage needs, ensuring safety and compliance with regulations.
3. Are IBC tanks suitable for storing granular materials?
Yes, our IBC tanks are suitable for storing granular materials like grains and sand. The robust construction of our tanks ensures they can handle the weight and pressure exerted by granular substances. HDPE and stainless steel tanks are both appropriate for such materials. For optimal performance, ensure that the tank is properly sealed and that the material is evenly distributed to prevent shifting during transport or storage.
