Interesting Facts About Frac Tanks That Don’t Involve Fracking

Frac tanks, also known as frac storage tanks or mobile storage tanks, are large, portable containers used in the oil and gas industry to store liquids like water, oil, or chemicals. While their name suggests that they are only used in hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, there are many other interesting facts about frac tanks that don’t involve the fracking process. For example, they can be used in a variety of industries. For example, frac tanks are used in the construction industry to store water for dust control, or to provide a source of water for concrete mixing.

They are also used in agriculture to store fertilizers and chemicals, and in municipal water treatment plants to store water and chemicals used in the treatment process. Frac tanks come in different sizes and shapes in order to suit different needs. They can range in size from 7,000 to 21,000 gallons, and can be cylindrical or rectangular in shape. Some are designed to be stacked on top of one another, allowing for even more storage capacity in a small footprint. Most frac tanks are made of steel, which is strong and durable enough to withstand the harsh conditions of the oil and gas industry.

The tanks are often coated with a layer of epoxy or other protective coating to prevent rust and corrosion. One of the key advantages of frac tanks is their portability. They can be transported easily by truck or train, allowing them to be moved to different locations as needed. This makes them a popular choice for temporary storage needs, such as during construction projects or natural disasters. Frac tanks can be rented or purchased depending on the needs of the user. Renting can be a cost-effective option for short-term storage needs, while purchasing may be more economical for long-term storage needs.

Frac tanks can even be customized to meet the specific needs of the user. For example, they can be fitted with pumps and hoses for easy filling and dispensing, or equipped with heating or cooling systems to maintain a specific temperature. Frac tanks can be used for environmental cleanup in the event of a spill or contamination. They can be used to store contaminated soil or water until it can be properly disposed of, or to provide a source of clean water for cleaning up the contaminated area.

Frac tanks can also be used for emergency response in the event of a natural disaster or other emergency. They can be used to store potable water or other supplies needed for emergency relief efforts. Frac tanks can be used in wastewater treatment plants to store and transport wastewater for treatment. They can also be used to store and transport the byproducts of wastewater treatment, such as sludge or biosolids. Last but certainly not least, frac tanks should be cleaned and inspected on a regular basis in order to avoid fines, corrosion, and cross contamination of the materials.
