Solution
Field-fabricated Polypropylene Tanks
- Inner Tank: 5,000 gallons, 114″ diameter, 114″ tall.
- Containment Tank: 110% capacity, 120″ diameter, 114″ tall.
- Construction: Vertical cylindrical, flat top/bottom, field-welded.
- Material: ¾-inch sidewalls, 1-inch top and bottom.
- Support: Epoxy-coated steel clamp-style and interstitial rib supports.
Solution Provided
Burt Process Equipment designed and field-fabricated a custom double-walled tank assembly with flanges, leak detection connections, and welded coupons for tensile testing. Key features included:
- Flanges: ANSI 150# pattern with stainless steel blind flanges, a 3-inch vent with U-trap, and a 3-inch flange with internal suction elbow.
- Leak Detection: 1-inch flange for outer sidewall leak detection.
- Testing: Water testing assistance and welded coupons for strength testing.
- Installation: Pre-engineered tanks for easy on-site assembly, minimizing operational disruption.
Outcome
The field-fabricated polypropylene tanks were successfully integrated into the client’s facility, providing a durable storage solution that met plasma fractionation standards. The custom tanks ensured uninterrupted production while minimizing environmental and safety risks. This project highlights Burt Process Equipment’s expertise in delivering tailored fluid handling solutions for the pharmaceutical industry.
