Safely Storing Sodium Hypochlorite
Ultraviolet (UV) radiation not only destroys light sensitive chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCL) it also has the potential to significantly degrade the structural integrity of the storage tank containing the light sensitive chemical.
In the past, most polyethylene tank manufacturers have promoted either black pigment or natural translucent polyethylene for sodium hypochlorite applications. While a black tank can block UV rays it also absorbs sunlight which can heat the tank to a level that harms both the tank and the chemicals it contains.
The Snyder Bleach Protection System reflects light away from the container, protecting the bleach within from both UV rays and heat damage. Snyder’s HDLPE #880059, opaque white resin, was specifically designed for storing NaOCL. #880059’s opacity prevents UV rays from attacking the sodium hypochlorite while its white color reflects the sunlight. Reducing exposure to these decomposition catalysts means longer shelf life for your NaOCL.
Rotationally molded HDLPE tanks, unlike fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks, have homogeneous walls. Without any fibers for the chemicals to wick along, you get consistent corrosion resistance throughout the tank. HDLPE tanks also have excellent impact resistance, which minimizes damage to the tank during shipping and installation.
The performance of a tank is dependent not only upon the materials used, but also on the manufacturing process.
Snyder has the most rigorous QC program in the industry - to ensure that every tank is built to last. Another Snyder innovation, our Snyder Unitized Molded Outlet (SUMO®), helps maximize tank drainage to remove the sedimentation that can occur with time. The SUMO is available in titanium in 2”, 3” 4”, or 6” sizes for NaOCL.
Whether you’re in the water treatment, wastewater treatment, pulp and paper, or chemical processing industry, the .942 density HDLPE can provide a cost effective alternative for storing sodium hypochlorite.
Corrosion resistance and toughness mean long tank life. All at an economical price. Call RHFS today to determine if you can benefit by using Snyder storage tanks. At RHFS & Snyder Industries, we’re helping companies - see the light.
