Horizontal Glass-Lined Storage Tanks: High-Capacity Bulk Containment

Engineered for Performance, Stability, and Industrial Durability

When your process requires high-volume storage of aggressive or high-purity fluids, the Horizontal Glass-Lined Storage Tank (W-Series) provides the ideal balance of structural strength and chemical inertness. Specifically designed for large-scale operations ranging from 3,000L to 100,000L, the horizontal configuration offers a lower center of gravity and a reduced height profile. This makes it the preferred solution for installations with height restrictions or for sites requiring the safe distribution of heavy liquid loads over a larger surface area.

Optimised for Large-Scale Corrosive Fluid Management

Our W-Series tanks are not just containers; they are engineered systems built to withstand the rigorous demands of the chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries. The horizontal design is particularly effective for:

• Bulk Acid & Alkali Storage: Providing a safe, long-term home for Hydrochloric Acid (HCl), Sulphuric Acid (H2SO4), and other reactive reagents.

• Large-Volume Liquid Waste: Serving as a primary collection point for corrosive effluent streams before neutralization or disposal.

• Decanting & Settling: The increased surface area of the horizontal design allows for more efficient phase separation and sediment settling in specific chemical processes.

The Advantage of Premium Glass Enamelling

At the heart of every Equipodia horizontal tank is our specialised glass-lining technology. By fusing high-grade enamel to a robust carbon steel shell, we create a vessel that is:

• Impervious to Corrosion: Unlike stainless steel or exotic alloys that may suffer from localized pitting, our glass lining is virtually inert to a vast range of chemicals across the entire pH scale.

• Thermal & Impact Resistant: Our advanced firing process ensures the enamel resists thermal shock and mechanical impact, significantly extending the service life of the tank in harsh environments.

• Easy to Clean & Non-Stick: The ultra-smooth surface finish prevents product buildup and facilitates rapid, effective cleaning, which is essential for preventing batch cross-contamination.

Comprehensive Range & Custom Engineering

We provide a massive spectrum of standard models, all supported by heavy-duty saddle mounts for maximum stability.

• Standard Model Capacities: W3000L, W4000L, W5000L, W6300L, W8000L, W10000L, W12500L, W16000L, W20000L, W30000L, W40000L, W50000L, W80000L, and W100000L.

• Bespoke Configurations: Every industrial site has unique requirements. We offer custom-designed nozzle orientations, specialized manway placements, and optional heating/cooling jackets to meet your specific process temperature requirements.

Technical Specifications and Quality Assurance

All Equipodia horizontal tanks are manufactured to meet stringent international standards (ISO9001, CE, and ASME). Every unit undergoes rigorous Spark Testing and hydraulic pressure testing before dispatch, ensuring it arrives at your site ready for decades of reliable service.
