Why Hydro Carbon's IM101 tanks are superior

Why Hydro Carbon tanks are superior

Top or bottom discharge
In another industry first for Hydro Carbon, these tanks are ABS dual-certified for either top or bottom discharge. Models reconfigured for bottom discharge have received a D.O.T. exception for transport of corrosive liquids—including formic acid, hydrochloric acid or hydrofluoric (not more than 60% strength) acid.

Polyethylene lining
Our hi-bond polyethylene internal lining offers unparalleled resistance to a wide variety of
chemicals including salts, solvents, corrosives
and caustics.

Stackable and crash resistant
Our IM101’s Finite Element Analysis-based
structure is engineered to support the vessel’s maximum gross weight (30,000 lbs.) and offer superior crash protection.

Approved for hazardous materials
These vessels are authorized for transportation of T code hazard material [per CFR Title 49, Part 172.102(c)(7)(i) for 6 bar minimum test pressure with bottom discharge. T1, T2, T7, T8, T11, T13, T14, T16, T17, T20, T22, T23].

				Due in part to our valve location, our tanks are ABS certified to 58 Psig design pressure, 87 Psig hydrostatic test pressure. For bottom discharge applications, three serially-mounted closures—including a Betts internal shutoff valve with emergency remote closure—insures maximum safety and dependability. Top discharge applications feature a removable polyethylene spill ring to isolate acids or other fluids from the vessel.



				A full-length fiberglass platform offers safe access to valves and the 18" manway. Our hi-bond polyethylene lining covers all internal surfaces exposed to the vessel’s contents, including the manway neck and flanges. Our three-part zinc, epoxy and polyurethane exterior paint offers superior corrosion resistance and less maintenance.
