Collapsible Tank Construction

Our Collapsible Pillow Tanks are built using a wide range of flexible materials equipped to handle outdoor conditions, as well as interior storage of multiple liquids. Tanks have been successfully used to store the following liquids:

  • Drinking Water
  • Fracking Fluids
  • Brine Water
  • Process or Production Water
  • Chemical Mixtures
  • Diesel Fuel
  • Jet A Fuel

Since you have mentioned that your tank is intended for use in an oilfield, materials chosen for your Frac Water Tank will be made from high strength fabrics that are additionally equipped to handle:

  • Cold Temperatures (as low as -58 F)
  • High Temperatures (as high as 180 F)
  • UV Exposure

All collapsible tanks are also fully equipped to offer a high heat retention, lowering heating costs. When compared to a standard oilfield storage tank, these tanks have approximately 50% higher heat retention.

Oilfield Collapsible Tank Sizing

frac fluid storageWhen compared to other styles of Frac Tanks, the collapsible tank offers a huge advantage in terms of sizing. Standard oilfield collapsible tanks have been built in capacities as high as 210,000 gallons.

As a quick comparison, a 210,000 gallon capacity is the equivalent of approximately 5000 BBL.

While these tanks are significantly larger in terms of capacity, they still remain smaller and more economical to transport than a rigid tank unit. When transported, tanks are folded and occasionally even rolled up. This allows multiple tanks to be shipped in the same transportation container.

Fittings

Most bulk oilfield water storage tanks are equipped with several standard fittings that may include any of the following:

  • Fill/Discharge Ports
  • 2 x 2 Floor Drains
  • Hoses
  • Vents
  • Ball Valves
  • Storz, Cam Lock, or Threaded Adapter Fittings
