We have
sulfuric acid storage tanks along with
information and links to other resources for the storage
of sulfuric acid. Sulfuric Acid is one of the most commonly used
chemicals in plants across America. It is used in the
making of fertilizers and widely used in the manufacture
of other chemicals. Some of the other things made with
Sulfuric Acid are hydrochloric acid, nitric acid,
sulfate salts, synthetic detergents, dyes and pigments,
explosives, and drugs. |

Sulfuric Acid storage
tanks require
extra care to keep people and property safe from
spills. Aside from providing a poly storage tank that is chemically
compatible for the storage of
Sulfuric Acid, it is also
important to provide some form of secondary containment
to protect from injury or damage if spills occur. |
|
An
especially important thing to remember when storing
sulfuric acid is that it will give off heat when it
comes in contact with water. Mixing or diluting
sulfuric acid in a plastic tank is never allowed.
Plastic sulfuric acid tanks should only be used for storage
and not for mixing. The heat generated by the exothermic reaction when Sulfuric Acid is mixed with water
will compromise the integrity of the tank walls. Do not use plastic storage tanks for mixing Sulfuric Acid and Water. |

You should independently verify all information
regarding your particular sulfuric acid application.
Make no mistake, sulfuric acid can be very dangerous if
not handled safely and correctly.
