2. Chemical Storage Tanks
Storage of treatment chemicals including lime slurry, alum (aluminum sulfate), polymers, coagulants, pH adjusters (acids/alkalis), and disinfectants (chlorine solution, sodium hypochlorite). SS304 or SS316 construction with agitators for slurry tanks.
3. Lime Silo
Storage of lime powder for lime slurry preparation in water softening and pH adjustment. Features include dust collection system, level indicators, aeration pads for flow aid, and rotary valve/screw conveyor discharge.
4. Effluent & Equalization Tanks (ETP)
Collection and equalization of industrial wastewater before treatment. Features include corrosion protection, level control, and mixing systems for homogenization.
5. Sludge Storage & Thickening Tanks
Storage of primary and secondary sludge before dewatering. Cone bottom design for complete sludge withdrawal, available with sludge mixers or thickener mechanisms.

Frequently Asked Questions – Storage Tank for Water Treatment Plants
1. What type of tank is best for lime slurry storage?
For lime slurry storage, we recommend SS304 vertical tanks with agitators to prevent settling. Tanks should have cone bottoms for complete draining and access manholes for cleaning.
2. What material is best for alum storage tanks?
Alum (aluminum sulfate) is corrosive to mild steel. SS304 is the recommended material for alum storage tanks. SS316 is recommended for higher concentrations or elevated temperatures.
3. Do you provide lime silos with dust collection?
Yes. Our lime silos include bag filter dust collection systems on the vent to prevent dust emission during filling. The collected lime dust is returned to the silo.
4. What is the typical delivery time for a water treatment storage tank?
Standard sizes (MS, up to 50,000 liters): 10-15 days. SS304/SS316 tanks: 12-18 days. Lime silos: 20-25 days. Large field-erected tanks: 30-45 days.
