Advantages of Polyethylene Tanks:
-
High Durability and Long Lifespan: Polyethylene tanks are known for their high resistance in various weather conditions and flexibility, which contributes to their long lifespan. They can withstand prolonged usage.
-
Leak Resistance: Polyethylene tanks are manufactured in a way that ensures they never leak. This makes them highly suitable for storing petroleum and chemical substances that can cause environmental damage if leaked.
-
Versatility in Production: Polyethylene water tanks can be produced in various dimensions, sizes, and shapes according to customer requirements. They can be manufactured in horizontal, vertical, under-stair, and other forms, and can be customized in different volumes.
-
High Resistance to Corrosion: The excellent corrosion resistance properties of polyethylene tanks make them the best choice for storing corrosive materials such as acids and chemical compounds.
5. Easy Installation: Polyethylene tanks can be installed both underground and aboveground (on the ground or aerially).
-
Affordable Price: Polyethylene tanks are cost-effective compared to other storage tank materials, making them an economical choice.
-
Resistance to Extreme Temperatures: Polyethylene tanks can tolerate temperature ranges from -70°C to +45°C. In mountainous areas, their triple or quadruple walls and the thermal insulating properties of polyethylene allow them to perform exceptionally well.
-
Earthquake Resistance: Due to the flexibility of polyethylene, double-wall polyethylene tanks perform better in incidents such as earthquakes, with minimal damage.
-
Moisture Resistance: Due to their non-corrosive nature, polyethylene tanks are the suitable option for humid regions.
-
High Hygiene Standards: Polyethylene is an inert material that does not react with other substances. This characteristic makes it suitable for storing drinking water without any negative impact on its taste, odor, or properties over time.
Disadvantages of Polyethylene Tanks:
-
Susceptible to Impact Damage: Polyethylene tanks should be protected from heavy mechanical impacts to prevent punctures. Although they have excellent impact resistance under normal conditions, they can be susceptible to damage when subjected to severe impacts.
-
Limited Lifespan in Outdoor Environments: Without the addition of UV stabilizers, polyethylene tanks may not last more than a decade in outdoor environments due to continuous exposure to UV radiation.
-
Temperature Limitations: The temperature of the stored liquid should not exceed 55-60°C in polyethylene tanks to avoid potential issues.
