Storage Tank Manufacturers - Single Wall vs. Double Wall Tanks

Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger manufacturers above-ground single and double-wall storage tanks.  There is a difference between the two.  What are the differences between single-wall and double-wall storage tanks?

A double-wall tank differs from a single-wall tank in several ways, mainly design, fabrication, testing procedures, lifespan, price, function, technology and user benefits.  The added environmental and safety impact of the “second wall” in storage tanks often becomes immeasurable over time.

Bendel double-wall tanks’ outer “wall” wraps and surrounds the inner tank, creating an interstitial space between the two walls.  Any potential leak that may occur from the inner tank is captured in the sealed space, preventing a release into the environment and nearby work space.  With the storage tank’s leak-monitoring provision, a warning of any type of breach or leak from the inner tank will be issued.  The varying monitoring devices include electrical, mechanical, pressure, vacuum, hydrostatic, or manual dipstick.

The double-wall tanks from Bendel give our customers particular benefits that they demand, including protection against catastrophe, protection against environmental pollution, containment if a leak or breach should occur from the inner tank, and safety of personnel working with the tanks.

Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger manufactures our single-wall and double-wall storage tanks  up to 186” diameter and 75,000 gallon capacity. Storage tanks are designed, built and tested to meet industry standards including UL-142, NFPA-22, API-650, API-620, API-12F or ASME. Tanks are available in Carbon Steel, Stainless Steel or Nickel Alloy materials.

Storage Tank Manufacturer offers Helpful Storage Tank Selection Guide

Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger manufactures industrial liquid and chemical storage tanks.  Liquid and chemical storage tanks require more demanding specifications during the manufacturing process because they will be holding liquid materials that are possibly dangerous, and the tank designs may require more overall functionality and interaction from the tank operators.

So what does that mean to you, the storage tank buyer?  Well, it means that Bendel is among a handful of specialty storage tank manufacturers that that designs and manufactures storage tanks that do other things besides store liquid.  So let us present to you some different ideas on how to evaluate your next storage tank purchase.

What liquid or chemical liquid will be stored in the tanks?

We need to know the exact liquid or chemical that will be stored in the tank.  What will the liquid or chemical be used in?  What is the percentage of concentration of the chemical, as this helps determine the storage tank wall thickness.

Where will the storage tank be located?

This is a big question because the location helps determine the makeup of materials in the tank manufacturing process. Will the tank be outside or inside?  Will the weather be freezing or hot?

What size and functionality of the tank will be needed?

Is the tank a horizontal or vertical tank?  What are the specifications?  Will the bottom of the tank need to be a specific cone shape for mixing materials with the stored liquid or chemical?  What about the thickness of the tank walls?  This all depends upon the size and functionality of the storage tank.

What connections and other hardware accessories might be needed?

The types of connections are determined by how the liquid will be transported from the storage tank into other areas.  Is the liquid corrosive?  What fittings materials might react negatively with the stored liquids?  What about OSHA-compliant storage ladders or cat walks?  Other tank options available include: Internal and external coatings, polished stainless steel finishes, internal heating/cooling coils, half pipe jackets, dimpled jackets, heat tape systems, submersible or dry well heaters just to name a few. Bendel can also insulate your storage tank and provide a protective carbon steel, aluminum or stainless steel insulation skin prior to shipment.

Bendel has been manufacturing storage tanks since 1962.  Bendel can provide high quality custom fabricated above-ground single-wall or double-wall horizontal storage tanks up to 144” diameter and 50,000 gallon capacity.  Our horizontal storage tanks are designed, built, tested and labeled per UL-142.

How Do You Choose the Best Storage Tank Manufacturer Besides by Price?

Bendel Tank & Heat Exchanger has manufactured storage tanks since our early company roots in 1962.  We have seen this question posted, answered and replied to thousands of times over the past 50 years!  We’ve probably answered this question thousands of times ourselves!  Choosing the best storage tank manufacturer should fall down to two very basic concerns for your company:

1.  Will the storage tank manufacturer and their tanks fit into my company’s existing structure?

2.  What is the storage tank manufacturer’s total reputation and record for producing quality tanks?

The lowest price should never be the primary consideration when you embark on selecting the best storage tank manufacturer.  Why, you ask?  There is one very simple reason why:  the cheapest price also can use the cheapest materials, and that can lead to dangerous consequences down the road with tank collapses, spills and possible fires from rupture.

Over our many years in the storage tank manufacturing business, we have always believed and delivered our storage tank products with all of the environmental, legal, health and financial issues at bay.

Ideally, the design, manufacture and delivery of the storage tanks should meet your company’s unique needs and requirements.  If the tank manufacturer wants you to fit into their system, keep looking!  At Bendel, we believe in matching our high levels of design and manufacturing to our client’s needs and time lines.

Be sure to review the storage tank manufacturer’s history and reputation as a company.  Have they been in business long enough to really see the lifespan of their work?  Bendel has actually replaced and upgraded tanks that we manufactured over 30 years old!  We’ve seen our tanks live long, productive, safe life spans in literally thousands of cases.  This is one of the most important aspects for choosing the best storage tank manufacturer.

You should also evaluate the storage tank manufacturer’s ability to manufacture accessories like OSHA-compliant caged ladders and catwalks.  Bendel offers many storage tank accessories to help your team service and maintain your tank investment over a long lifespan. 

We understand that price and your budget is important in the evaluation process for selecting the best storage tank manufacturer.  In addition to all of the important factors listed in this article, Bendel offers market-competitive pricing for above-market storage tank quality, reliability and superb manufacturing.
