You may have heard of frac tanks? These storage vessels have been a staple in the oil and gas industry for decades. However, frac tanks are not just limited to the fracking industry. They actually have multiple other uses that come in handy in various industries. For example, frac tanks are widely used on construction sites as temporary liquid storage solutions. During construction, various liquids such as water, fuel, and chemicals are required to be stored on-site. In essence, frac tanks provide a safe, secure, and cost-effective way to store these liquids.
Frac tanks are made of durable materials, and are able to withstand harsh weather conditions. These facts make them a perfect solution for outdoor storage. Frac tanks are also utilized in the waste management industry. They can be used to store non-hazardous waste and other forms of waste that require proper containment and disposal. In addition, frac tanks are used in the agriculture industry for the storage of liquids such as fertilizers, pesticides, and water. Since the frac tanks are used to store these liquids on-site, it significantly reduces the need for frequent trips to refill the tanks.
Frac tanks are also designed to withstand harsh weather conditions, which is yet another reason that they are a great choice for outdoor storage. Last but certainly not least, frac tanks are utilized in the water treatment industry. For example, they can be used to store water that has been treated for drinking or industrial purposes. Despite their importance, frac tanks tend to be a bit overlooked when it comes to maintenance and cleaning. However, it is necessary to keep your frac tanks clean. Not only does it ensure the safety of both your workers and the environment, it also keeps your tank or tanks in good working order.
Over time, solid particles can settle at the bottom of the tank, creating a buildup of debris that can impede the flow of materials. This can result in clogs in the line when you need to remove and use or dispose of the material contained within the frac tank. The bottom line is that when there is a clog, it slows down the flow of the material, which of course slows down your process. That is a complete waste of your time and money. The good news is that frac tank cleaning prevents those clogs from forming.
Frac tank cleaning is also necessary each and every time that you change the materials inside of the tank. That way, the new materials will not be contaminated by the previous materials. For example, if you’re switching over from a certain chemical to water, you want to ensure that the water is clean and free of that chemical.
