The shell design is selected for a specific environment — send the brand of oil, we will select the material and equipment.

Description

Oil requires a different chemical resistance from the shell than light fuel, so the design is tailored to the specific environment. The polyester-based ballistic weave material with polyurethane coating works with both engine, transmission, and transformer oils.

At power grid facilities, elastic tanks are used to drain transformer oil during repairs: the tank is deployed next to the equipment, receives oil and is folded after work.

The absence of corrosion is a practical advantage: a steel tank under oil requires anti—corrosion treatment and monitoring of the condition of the walls, elastic does not require.

We ship in a compact package, with installation supervision if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Is it suitable for transformer oil?

Yes, this is one of the main uses. The tanks are used at the facilities of the electric grid complex both for storage and for draining oil during transformer maintenance.

Is it possible to store different oils in the same container?

After changing the medium, the tank needs to be flushed, otherwise the remnants of the previous product will end up in a new batch. It is more practical to fix the container for one medium.

Do I need a foundation and a concrete platform?

No. The tank is placed on a prepared flat area, cleared of sharp objects. This is the main saving: capital costs are reduced by a factor compared to a steel fleet, and storage can be deployed where construction is impossible.

How long does the deployment take?

From several hours to one work shift, depending on the volume. A team of 6-8 people is enough for a 200 m3 park, special equipment, welding and channel laying are not needed.

How does the tank behave in the cold?

The operating range is from -60 to +80 °C. The material retains its elasticity in the cold and does not require anti-corrosion treatment, unlike a steel tank.
