Applications of Chemwest Plastic Tanks and Baths

Some common uses include:

• Day Tanks: Designed to hold smaller quantities of chemicals or process fluids for short-term use, day tanks are commonly used in chemical dispensing systems or water treatment stations.

• Industrial Plating Tanks: Plastic plating tanks are built to specification using extrusion welds. Stainless steel, encapsulated steel, or plastic tank bands are included based on volume and pressure calculations. Plating tanks are commonly used in anodizing and circuit board processes.

• Industrial Cleaning Tanks: Similar to industrial plating tanks, cleaning tanks are commonly manufactured using extrusion welds and support bands. They have a robust design that is compatible with harsh cleaning chemicals, providing for a long product life. These tanks are used in applications for cleaning items or parts, such as Quartzware used in the Semiconductor industry.

• Industrial Process Tanks: Designed for Processes such as blending, mixing, or separating chemicals in acquis [aqueous] fluids, constructed for chemical compatibility, strength, and durability, and with the components and features to fit your process requirements.

• Acid Waste Collection Tanks (AWN): Our acid waste collection tanks are ideal for safely storing and neutralizing acidic or caustic waste. These reinforced plastic tanks, constructed with robust materials, provide chemical resistance and durability for handling harsh waste.

• Water Runoff Tanks: Plastic tanks for water runoff are essential for managing excess water from industrial processes, rainwater, or contaminated runoff. Chemwest tanks are designed to handle these conditions safely and efficiently.

• Holding and Overflow Tanks: Whether for storing process liquids or providing overflow solutions, Chemwest’s holding and overflow tanks help you manage liquid containment effectively while preventing costly spillage.

• Secondary Containment Solutions: These are available to safely manage leaked or overflowing fluids. Chemwest is here to support your efforts to embrace safety, prevent environmental contamination, and maintain regulatory compliance.

Custom Features for Your Plastic Tanks and Baths

Chemwest offers a variety of custom features to enhance the performance and functionality of your plastic tanks and plastic baths:

• Pumps, Valving, and Plumbing
  Common tank requirements include inlet and outlet couplings, fittings, drains, piping, and pumps to move the fluid. All items can be included in your project according to your specifications.

• Sloped Bottom Tanks
  Tanks are designed with bottoms that slope to drain.

• Level Sensing
  Tank-level sensing options are provided to fit your project needs, including Float Sensors, Ultrasonic Sensors, and Capacitive Sensors. The Chemwest engineering team will help determine the best choice for your application.

• Nitrogen Spargers and Bubblers
  Nitrogen spargers and bubblers can be incorporated into plastic baths for improved chemical mixing. These features help maintain consistent chemical processes, provide agitation, and minimize the risk of contamination.

• Air Knife
  To minimize exposure to chemical tank fumes, our design team can incorporate a system that pushes or pulls air over the open surface of the tank.

• Cascading Overflow Designs
  We provide cascading overflow designs for tanks that require fluid recirculation, which safely recirculate liquid according to your requirements.

• Quick Dump Valves
  Chemwest’s quick dump valves enable the fast and controlled discharge of liquids from plastic tanks, facilitating a quick dump-rinse process.

• Reinforced Plastic Tanks Construction
  Our reinforced plastic tanks are built with fortified materials for added strength and durability, ensuring they can withstand the stresses of heavy-duty industrial applications, especially in corrosive environments. Where warranted, our tank designs include extrusion-welded construction and tank banding (encapsulated stainless steel or plastic banding).

• Custom Dimensions and Configurations
  Chemwest can design plastic tanks to your exact specifications, whether you require rectangular plastic tanks for optimal space efficiency or custom shapes tailored to unique operational requirements.

How Chemwest’s Plastic Tank and Bath Fabrication Works

• Consultation and Design: We begin by discussing your needs and understanding the plastic tank or bath application. Then, our engineers will help design a system that meets your exact dimensions and specifications.

• Material Selection: Based on your process requirements, we will recommend the appropriate material—corrosion-resistant polypropylene, PVC, or high-performance plastic—to ensure the tank or bath can withstand your facility’s chemicals and conditions.

• Fabrication and Assembly: Once the design and materials are finalized, our team will begin fabricating the plastic tanks or baths using advanced manufacturing processes. These processes include welding, reinforcement for added strength, and integration of components such as plumbing, pumps, and level sensors.

• Customization and Features Integration: Custom features such as Nitrogen spargers, quick dump valves, air knives, sloped bottom, and cascading overflows will be integrated into the tank or bath to meet your operational needs. We ensure that every feature is incorporated for optimal performance.

• Testing and Quality Assurance: All plastic tanks and baths undergo rigorous testing to meet the highest quality standards. We verify that they are leak-proof, resistant to chemical corrosion, and properly equipped for safe operation.
