30,000 GALLON SINGLE-WALL UL 142 VERTICALS FOR BIODIESEL FUEL STORAGE.
Biodiesel Tanks
An exciting new era has arrived with increased production and interest in renewable, alternative fuel sources. Among these, biodiesel is a major player in the biofuel market and is fast becoming the fuel of the future. Southern Tank fabricates biodiesel tanks to API 650 and UL 142 standards in sizes to fit most storage requirements (see standard Horizontal and Vertical sizes.)
For producers, Southern Tank can provide biodiesel tanks to store all the necessary ingredients used in the production of biodiesel. Whether it’s a stainless steel sulfuric acid or sodium methoxide tank, or the feedstock, product, or glycerin tanks made from the preferred mild carbon steel, or methanol tanks with compatible gaskets and 150# class flange openings, Southern Tank can manufacture and deliver a biodiesel tank for any application or storage requirement. Heaters and insulating jackets are common with biodiesel tanks. We’ll work with your contractor or heating supplier to ensure that you have the proper openings, dry-wells, or necessary attachments for the application. We can complete your biodiesel tank or farm with a complete system of ladders, stairs, catwalks and handrails fabricated to OSHA specifications (see Tank Accessories).
For users of biodiesel such as public and private fleets, marinas, school bus depots, electrical generating plants, locomotives and the trucking industry, and others, Southern Tank can fabricate a biodiesel tank suitable for your storage needs. From B2 to B100 and everything in between, you can be confident that your Southern biodiesel tank is made with quality materials and workmanship and that it has the proper gasket materials where needed to give you years of trouble-free service.
Biodiesel is one of the safest fuels to store, use and handle. However, biodiesel has a solvent effect that may result in the release of deposits accumulated on tank walls and piping from previous product storage. A new biodiesel tank is the perfect solution - a steel tank solution for a cleaner tomorrow.
Contact Southern Tank today and lets us help you get on the biodiesel bandwagon – with a Southern biodiesel tank.
NOTE > In 1912, Randolph Diesel, inventor of the diesel engine, said "the use of vegetable oils for engine fuels may seem insignificant today, but such oils may become, in the course of time, as important as petroleum and the coal tar products of the present time."
WOW, that guy must have had a crystal ball!
