Storage Tank for Agro Chemicals Industry
High-quality, corrosion-resistant storage tanks engineered specifically for agro-chemicals manufacturing – safe storage of pesticides, liquid fertilizers, solvents, and intermediates.
When agro-chemical manufacturers across India need reliable, corrosion-resistant storage solutions for their critical chemicals, they turn to Shivam Engineering & Fabrication. As a leading storage tank manufacturer for the agro-chemicals industry, we have supplied hundreds of units to pesticide, fungicide, herbicide, and liquid fertilizer plants across the country. Our storage tanks are engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and leak-proof safety – perfectly suited for the demanding requirements of agro-chemical storage.
Why Agro-Chemical Plants Need Specialized Storage Tanks
Agro-chemicals include corrosive pesticides, flammable solvents, and sensitive liquid fertilizers. Our specially designed storage tanks feature:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction – SS304, SS316, or epoxy-coated MS for chemical compatibility.
- Leak-Proof Welding – Precision TIG welding with full penetration for safety.
- Pressure/Vacuum Relief – To prevent tank collapse or rupture.
- Secondary Containment – Bund/dike options for hazardous chemicals.
- Flame Arrestors – For flammable solvent storage.
- Custom Fittings – Manholes, nozzles, level indicators, and agitators as required.
Storage Tank Types for Agro-Chemicals
| Tank Type | Configuration | Application | Key Features |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vertical Storage Tank | Vertical cylindrical | Bulk liquid storage, solvents, pesticides | Space efficient, conical/dished bottom |
| Horizontal Storage Tank | Horizontal cylindrical | Low profile storage, outdoor installation | Saddle supports, easy access |
| Cone Bottom Tank | Vertical with conical bottom | Suspension/slurry storage, easy draining | Complete draining, no dead legs |
| Dished End Tank | Vertical with dished ends | Pressure/vacuum applications | Higher pressure rating |
| Day Tank / Intermediate Tank | Small vertical or horizontal | Batch processing, day storage | 500-5,000 liter capacity |
Material Selection for Agro-Chemical Storage
| Material | Best For | Corrosion Resistance | Typical Applications |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mild Steel (MS) + Epoxy Coating | Non-corrosive liquids | Fair (coating dependent) | Liquid fertilizers (non-corrosive), water, diesel |
| Stainless Steel SS304 | Moderately corrosive | Good | Most pesticides, herbicides, liquid fertilizers |
| Stainless Steel SS316 / SS316L | Highly corrosive | Excellent | Chlorinated pesticides, acidic formulations, solvents |
| SS316 with PTFE Lining | Extreme corrosion | Superior | Concentrated acids, aggressive solvents |
Safety Features for Hazardous Chemical Storage
- Pressure/Vacuum Relief Valve – Prevents tank overpressure or vacuum collapse.
- Flame Arrestor – For flammable liquid storage (solvents, alcohol-based formulations).
- Secondary Containment Bund – Concrete or steel dike around tank to contain leaks.
- Leak Detection System – Optional sensors for early leak detection.
- Earthing/Grounding System – Prevents static buildup for flammable liquids.
- Level Indicators – Mechanical or electronic for inventory management.
- High-Level Alarm – Prevents overfilling.

Frequently Asked Questions – Storage Tank for Agro Chemicals Industry
1. What type of storage tank is best for liquid pesticide storage?
For liquid pesticide storage, SS316 vertical storage tanks are recommended due to excellent corrosion resistance against chlorinated and acidic formulations. Tank capacities typically range from 5,000-30,000 liters.
2. Can you provide heating jackets for storage tanks?
Yes. For agro-chemicals that require temperature maintenance (to prevent crystallization or maintain viscosity), we offer dimple jackets, half-pipe coils, or electric heating systems as required.
3. What safety features do you recommend for flammable solvent storage?
For flammable solvents (e.g., toluene, xylene, methanol used in pesticide formulations), we recommend pressure/vacuum relief valves, flame arrestors, grounding systems, and secondary containment bunds.
4. What is the typical delivery time for a custom storage tank?
Standard sizes (SS304, up to 10,000 liters): 15-20 days. Larger custom tanks: 25-35 days. SS316 construction may add 5-10 days.
