Waste Water Tanks

Waste Water Storage Tanks

If you are looking for the perfect solution for storing water that’s laden with contaminants, look no further than our waste water tanks. Our waste water tanks are ideal for both industrial and domestic use, and they even work well for storing harmful chemicals. Whether you have by products or standard water to store, you can rely on a high quality waste water tank.

As well as standard waste water tanks, we stock effluent tanks. These are tanks that have been designed to fit perfectly under portable cabins, something that many standard waste water tanks are not able to do. Our waste water tanks range in capacity from 1,350 litres to 15,000 litres, whereas our effluent tank is 2,300 litres. If you need a higher capacity, we can link multiple waste water tanks together. If you need a waste water tank with a capacity of 80,000 litres, simply interlink four of our 20,000 litre waste water tanks together.

Different Types of Waste Water Tanks

If you know anything about waste water, you will know that there are different types. Luckily, our waste water tanks are able to handle everything.

● Industrial Waste Water - This is produced as a by product of many industrial processes and can be stored in waste water tanks. It’s often a source of pollution, due to its contamination with harmful chemicals. This is why storage is key.

● Domestic Waste Water - This is produced from domestic properties and is often referred to as sewage. It can be split up into Black Water and Grey Water. Black Water is water that is contaminated with human waste. Grey Water is another type of waste water, such as water from dishwashers and showers.

Our Waste Water Tank Design

It’s hard to beat the design of our waste water tanks. They are all made from recyclable polyethylene, are corrosion resistant, durable, weatherproof, UV stabilised and do not require much maintenance. Our waste water tanks are manufactured to ensure maximum wall thickness at the base.

Overview of Polyethylene Waste Water Tanks

Polyethylene wastewater tanks are widely used for storing and managing wastewater in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. Made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE), these tanks offer a durable, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution for wastewater management. Below is an overview of their key features, benefits, and considerations.

Key Features:

• Material: Manufactured from high-density polyethylene, known for its strength, durability, and resistance to chemicals and corrosion.
• Capacity: Available in a variety of sizes, ranging from small tanks suitable for residential use to large tanks for commercial or industrial applications.
• Design: Typically designed to be leak-proof and resistant to cracking or splitting, ensuring a long service life.
• Lightweight: Compared to tanks made from concrete or metal, polyethylene tanks are lightweight, making them easier to transport and install.
• Seamless Construction: Most polyethylene tanks are manufactured using a seamless construction method, reducing the risk of leaks.
• Corrosion Resistance: Inert to most chemicals and resistant to corrosion, making them ideal for storing various types of wastewater.

Advantages:

• Cost-Effective: Generally more affordable than tanks made from other materials.
• Durability: Resistant to corrosion, chemical degradation, and impact, ensuring a long lifespan.
• Low Maintenance: Requires minimal maintenance, mainly periodic inspections, and cleaning.
• Environmental Protection: Helps in managing wastewater properly, preventing contamination of soil and water sources.
• Easy Installation: Lightweight nature and flexibility of polyethylene make the installation process easier.

Installation and Maintenance:

• Proper Site Preparation: Requires a stable and level base for proper installation.
• Connection to Plumbing: Needs to be properly connected to plumbing and drainage systems.
• Ventilation: Must be adequately vented to prevent the build-up of gases.
• Access for Maintenance: Should have access points for cleaning and maintenance purposes.
• Regular Inspections: Periodic inspections are necessary to check for signs of damage or leaks.

Environmental Considerations:

• Wastewater Management: Plays a crucial role in managing wastewater, protecting the environment from potential contamination.
• Recyclability: Polyethylene is a recyclable material, contributing to sustainable practices.

Regulations and Compliance:

• Compliance with Local Regulations: Must comply with local building codes and wastewater management regulations.
• Certifications: May require certain certifications to ensure they meet industry standards for safety and performance.

Applications:

• Residential: Used for septic systems or to store wastewater for treatment in areas not connected to municipal sewage systems.
• Commercial and Industrial: Used in various industries to store and manage wastewater before treatment or disposal.

Conclusion:

Polyethylene wastewater tanks offer a reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solution for managing wastewater. They are durable, require minimal maintenance, and are easy to install. Proper installation, regular maintenance, and adherence to local regulations are crucial to ensure their optimal performance and longevity, protecting both the environment and public health.
