Our storage tanks are engineered for durability, corrosion resistance, and leak-proof safety – perfectly suited for the demanding requirements of chemical storage.
Why Chemical Plants Need Specialized Storage Tanks
The chemical industry involves handling highly corrosive materials, including acids, alkalis, solvents, and reactive intermediates. Our specially designed storage tanks feature:
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction – SS304, SS316, SS316L, or epoxy-coated MS based on chemical compatibility.
- Leak-Proof Welding – Precision TIG welding with full penetration and radiography inspection.
- Pressure/Vacuum Relief – To prevent tank collapse or rupture during filling/emptying.
- Secondary Containment – Bund/dike options for hazardous chemicals.
- Flame Arrestors – For flammable liquid storage.
- Custom Fittings – Manholes, nozzles, level indicators, and agitators as required.
Storage Tank Types for Chemical Industry
| Tank Type | Configuration | Application | Key Features |

| Horizontal Storage Tank | Horizontal cylindrical | Low profile storage, outdoor installation | Saddle supports, easy access |
| Cone Bottom Tank | Vertical with conical bottom | Slurries, suspensions, easy draining | Complete draining, no dead legs |
| Dished End Tank | Vertical with dished ends | Pressure/vacuum applications | Higher pressure rating |
| API 650 Storage Tank | Large vertical field erected | Very large volume storage (100,000+ liters) | Field fabricated, large capacity |
Chemical Compatibility & Material Selection Guide
| Chemical | Recommended Material | Alternate Material | Special Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sulfuric Acid (H₂SO₄) | SS316L (dilute), MS (concentrated) | Rubber-lined MS | Concentration dependent |
| Hydrochloric Acid (HCl) | SS316L / FRP | Rubber-lined MS | Avoid SS304 |
| Nitric Acid (HNO₃) | SS304 / SS316L | Aluminum (low concentration) | High concentration requires SS316L |
| Caustic Soda (NaOH) | SS304 / SS316 | MS | Avoid high temperatures with MS |
| Solvents (Toluene, Xylene) | SS304 / SS316 | MS | Flame arrestor required |
| Organic Chemicals | SS304 / SS316 | MS with coating | Compatibility depends on specific chemical |
Safety Features for Chemical Storage Tanks

Frequently Asked Questions – Storage Tank for Chemical Industry
1. What material is best for sulfuric acid storage?
For dilute sulfuric acid SS316L is recommended. For concentrated sulfuric acid (93%), carbon steel (MS) is suitable due to passivation. For intermediate concentrations, rubber-lined MS or special alloys may be required. Our team can advise based on your specific concentration and temperature.
2. Do you provide ASME U-Stamp certified pressure vessels?
Yes. Shivam Engineering & Fabrication can manufacture ASME Section VIII Division 1 pressure vessels with U-Stamp certification for chemical storage applications requiring pressure rating above atmospheric.
3. Can you provide secondary containment for chemical storage tanks?
Absolutely. We offer double-wall tanks (tank within a tank) with interstitial monitoring, as well as external concrete or steel bunds (dikes) for spill containment as required by environmental regulations.
4. What is the typical delivery time for a custom chemical storage tank?
Standard sizes (SS304, up to 10,000 liters): 15-20 days. Larger custom tanks (10,000-50,000 liters): 25-35 days. ASME code vessels: 35-45 days depending on complexity and third-party inspection requirements.
