With the appearance of prefabricated modular tanks on the market, individuals and businesses involved in the storage and sale of valuable liquid products have gained ample opportunities.
Modular tanks, in contrast to obsolete welded metal and reinforced concrete structures, are mobile. If necessary, the tank can be disassembled and mounted in any other place. For example, in the case of relocation of the enterprise. For tightness of a structure and long storage of liquid tanks are equipped with a polypropylene membrane (insert). It eliminates the penetration of ultraviolet light, dust and other contaminants into the structure, preventing contamination of water and other liquids. These features allow you to use modular tanks for various tasks.
We have compiled our own rating of the TOP 9 options for the use of prefabricated modular tanks:
- Water supply to remote human settlements and hamlets, streets, cottage towns, where the central water supply system is missing or in an emergency condition. The volume of tank is selected taking into account the daily total needs of all users (household needs, housekeeping, etc.).
- Storage of clean drinking water. The hermetic design of the tank due to the ecological polypropylene insert provides long-term storage of drinking water, keeping all useful properties and chemical composition. Such a tanks are ordered by hospitals, schools, kindergartens, government agencies, camps, sanatoriums and other institutions.
- Collection and storage of technical water for further use in the production cycle. For small processing plants, the installation of modular tanks is a cheap alternative to pipeline construction, especially over long distances.
- Creating water reserves for irrigation. To collect a good harvest from a country site, a garden, a kitchen garden, a field, a vineyard it is necessary to organize regular watering of green plantings. Irrigation water tanks are usually not equipped with a roof so that rainwater collects in them. Plus it will reduce the cost of the project.
- Modular tanks are used as modular fire extinguishing tanks on remote agricultural and industrial sites, the ignition of which can cause great losses. Reservoirs are installed directly near forests and plantations, fields of cereals, gardens, farms, which allows you to quickly respond to fires and take measures to localize the outbreaks before the arrival of the representatives of Ministry of Emergency Situations.
- Production and storage of sunflower oil in processing plants and private oil mills. For fast draining of liquid use shut-off valves, and fill products through the top hatch or an entrance branch pipe.
- Production and storage of molasses at beet processing enterprises, terminals. To prevent the flow from thickening due to lower temperatures, the tank is equipped with an electric heating system consisting of heaters and temperature sensors to regulate the heating temperature.
- Storage of liquid fertilizers – carbide-ammonia mixture(UAN). Modular tanks for storage of UAN are mounted on the territory of agricultural and agro-industrial farms for the purpose of temporary storage of liquid fertilizers of UAN before entering into soil.
- Fish and shrimp farming. Modular fish farming tanks can be installed outdoors or indoors. The height of such structures is not great. Tanks are equipped with feeders, pumps and compressor equipment, cleaning filters.
Economic advantages of modular tanks
The benefits of installing
modular tanks are obvious:
- Mobility – the collapsible design allows to transfer capacity to other place within several days. All components for the installation of the tank up to 2000 cubic meters are transported by one truck.
- Cost-effectiveness – installation of the structure does not require special equipment and takes little time (capacity of 100 cubic meters is assembled in one day). This significantly reduces the cost of work.
- Strength – corrugated galvanized sheet is used for tank assembly, which provides better strength characteristics compared to smooth steel sheet.
- Tightness – the presence of a membrane prevents dust and suspended particles against entering the tank.
- Practicality – modular tanks can be installed above ground and underground. For regions with high wind activity, it is recommended to deepen the foundation of the tank by at least 2.37 meters.
- Space saving – tanks take up a minimum of free space and can be assembled in a confined space.
- Ease of maintenance – tanks can be equipped with ladders, inspection hatches, shut-off valves, sensors, thermoelectric heaters for convenient operation at any time of the year.
- Durability – galvanized frame has a long service life. The frame sheets are connected with bolts of strength class not lower than 8.8.
