A Bit About Renting A Frac Tank
Sometimes, you need to have a place to move or store large amounts of soil, rocks, or other aggregates. Generally, you rent or hire out a dump truck for this. However, a dump truck is not going to work if the thing you need stored and/or transported is liquid or has a high liquid content. When this is the situation, you need to rent a frac tank. There are different types of frac tanks available for different applications. When you contact a company that offers frac tank rental services, be sure to ask for the right type. Here are a few common ones to consider.
Mix Tanks
Sometimes, you need to store liquids that have some type of aggregate in them. You may need to keep agitating or mixing the contents of the tank to keep it from becoming solid or separating the liquid from the aggregate. Ask for a mix tank so you won't have to worry about ruining the usability of the contents.
Double Wall
When you need to store, contain, or move chemicals or other toxic liquids or mixtures, double wall frac tank is the best option. You want to be sure that the contents are well contained. A double wall tank is used to ensure that any leaks in the holding tank will not the contents to spill onto the ground. In addition, it protects anything in the inner holding tank from being damaged by an external force because of the outer wall.
Stationary Tanks
When you need to store the liquid for a limited time and will then be putting it back in its permanent place, you can ask for a tank to be placed on the ground, without a truck under it. You may ask to have a closed or open tank, depending on what you will be putting in it and how it will be pumped in and out. The rental company will be able to help you decide which will serve your purposes best.
Frac tanks allow you to safely store and move liquids and liquid/solid mixtures. They can be used any time you need to empty the permanent storage facility. This may be needed if you are repairing, replacing, or performing maintenance on the tank. Don't wait until the tank is emptied through use as there could be sludge in the bottom that negatively affects the liquid. Store the contents in a frac tank, and then take care of the permanent tank. Contact a frac tank rental company in your area for more information.
