Double-walled tank for storage of iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) at water treatment facilities

Double-walled tank for storage of iron (III) chloride (FeCl3) at water treatment facilities.

Liqson rents out tanks in various industries, one of which is the water treatment industry.

Under the heading of water treatment, you will find various solutions for storing, filtering, softening or pumping water.

This client is the largest public company active in wastewater management in Germany. It is a collaboration between Emschergenossenschaft and Lippeverband and has existed for over 90 years.

At their site in Bottrop, they needed to carry out works on their own iron trichloride (FeCl3) tanks. During this work, the company was forced to rent a storage tank temporarily.

Iron (III) chloride

Iron (III) chloride is the salt of trivalent iron and chloride. In water treatment plants, it is used to precipitate phosphates and heavy metals. It is a widely used application in the treatment of wastewater and drinking water. Here, the iron3chloride acts as a flocculant. The chemical compound is highly soluble in water and is yellowish-brown in colour. This liquid is also a basic raw material for the production of PVC. It is a hazardous liquid and must be handled with the necessary safety precautions. Carbon steel or stainless steel is not suitable for the storage of this liquid.

Double-walled storage tank

Safety is not an option but a main priority, so this company has chosen to rent a double-walled GRP tank. The entire equipment makes this tank perfectly suitable for storing hazardous liquids such as iron (III) chloride.

Liqson fitted the tank with the necessary quick couplings and flexible hoses for easy and quick commissioning.

The experienced drivers install the tanks in a safe and well thought-out manner.

These double-walled rental tanks are equipped as standard with:

  • Safe steps and walkways
  • Digital and clear process instrumentation
  • Different flanges for connecting
  • Large support area
  • Spill tray for any smaller spills during loading or unloading
  • Large volume
