FAQs
What is a frac tank?
A frac tank is a large-capacity steel storage container originally designed for the hydraulic fracturing industry. Today, frac tanks are used across a wide range of industries to temporarily store liquids and solids including water, chemicals, petroleum products, waste materials, and proppants. They are available in closed top, open top, mini, and double-wall configurations depending on your project requirements.
What is the difference between closed top and open top frac tanks?
Closed top frac tanks are fully enclosed steel containers that prevent contamination from external elements and contain vapors, making them the most versatile option for a wide range of liquids and job site conditions. Open top frac tanks allow easy access for loading materials from above and are well suited for applications like debris collection, solids storage, and projects requiring frequent access to the tank contents.
What size frac tank do I need?
Standard frac tanks typically hold around 500 barrels (21,000 gallons) of liquid storage. For job sites with limited space or smaller volume requirements, Ironclad offers steel mini frac tanks at roughly half the capacity of a standard tank. Our team can assess your project's storage volume, site footprint, and material type to recommend the right frac tank rental for your needs.
When should I use a double-wall frac tank?
Double-wall frac tanks provide secondary containment built directly into the tank, offering an extra layer of leak protection. They are recommended for projects involving hazardous materials, environmentally sensitive locations, or any job site where regulatory requirements call for secondary containment. A double-wall frac tank can help you stay compliant without the need for a separate containment berm.
What industries use frac tank rentals?
Frac tank rentals are commonly used in oil and gas exploration, construction, environmental remediation, chemical manufacturing, wastewater treatment, and disaster recovery. Any operation that requires temporary, large-volume storage of liquids or solids on a job site can benefit from renting a frac tank.
Why rent a frac tank instead of buying one?
Renting a frac tank eliminates the capital investment of purchasing, as well as the ongoing costs of maintenance, testing, storage, and compliance. For temporary or project-based needs like remediation, construction dewatering, or emergency response, a frac tank rental gives you the storage capacity you need without long-term overhead. Ironclad handles delivery, setup, hydrotesting, and pickup so your team can stay focused on the work.
How are frac tank rentals delivered?
Ironclad manages the full logistics of your frac tank rental. Our tanks are transported via flatbed or roll-off truck and set up on your job site by our team. We also handle pickup after job completion and ensure every tank is hydrotested and maintained to the highest standards before each rental. With 24/7 support, our team is available whenever you need guidance or assistance on site.
