Polypropylene Process Tanks

Tri-Mer designs and manufactures custom polypropylene tanks in the widest range of sizes and shapes, including partitioned tanks, with or without independent support structures. Our specialty is open-surface process tanks and dip tanks, engineered to the solution(s) and discharge considerations involved.

Polypropylene is the most common type of tank we manufacture for industrial and municipal use. It is resilient, and well-suited to manufacturing and process environments. Copolymer polypropylene is used to manufacture chiller tanks for ammonia refrigeration, cold storage, food processing and a broad range of similar applications.

Tri-Mer manufactures tanks with cone-hopper, flat, and sloped bottoms; projects often include instrumentation, fittings, pumps, level controls, agitators/mixers and removable covers.

Tri-Mer performs a 72-hour water test on every tank we manufacture. Customers are always welcome to inspect our work prior to shipment.

Materials

Polypropylene is the preferred material for process tanks used in industry. The 100% polypropylene used by Tri-Mer is a high-strength, monolithic polymer that will not corrode, embrittle, or de-laminate, even when exposed to aggressive chemicals, over long periods of time. It has very low moisture absorption, tolerates temperatures at both extremes, and has excellent thermal insulating properties. It is exceptionally resistant to stress rupturing, deformation and cracking, and has excellent dielectric properties.

Polypro is the lightest in weight of any thermoplastic, with a high strength-to-weight ratio. It is exceptionally resistant to strong acids – even at high temperatures – and also resists alkalis and oxidizers. Because it can be welded and thermoformed, it has exceptional flexibility for tank design.

Polypropylene is economical, and has a long track record of success for the manufacture of process tanks, as well as tank hoods, ducting and workstations for industrial and laboratory environments.
