Biodiesel Tanks
Biodiesel processing requires a variety of processing storage tanks. Snyder has conducted chemical compatibility testing on B100. Their compatibility testing showed that Snyder’s uniquely processed HDLPE and XLPE resins are compatible with B100. From our chemical compatibility testing, Sii recommends ONLY above ground 1.9 specific gravity Industrial (ASTM) designed tanks (600 psi hoop stress) for B100 applications.
Plastic tank requirements include:
Plastic tank requirements include:
- Raw product storage
- Final product storage tanks
- Methanol storage
- Methalate (methanol / sodium hydroxide)
- Processing water wash tanks
- Reaction tanks
- Neutralization tanks
- Waste water treatment system tanks
High density crosslinked Polyethylene tanks are a cost effective storage solution.
Biodiesel is the name of a clean burning alternative fuel, produced from domestic, renewable resources. Biodiesel contains no petroleum, but it can be blended at any level with petroleum diesel fuel to create a biodiesel blend. Biodiesel or B100 (100%) refers to the pure fuel. Biodiesel blends or BXX refers to a fuel that is composed of a % of biodiesel blended into a conventional fuel (example B20 = 20% Biodiesel blended with 80% conventional fuel). Snyder does not recommend below ground, agricultural or other non-ASTM designed tanks to be used in this application.
Snyder’s chemical compatibility testing does not include any biodiesel blends so Snyder has no recommendation for biodiesel blends at this time.
