Frac tank weight comes down to two things: storage capacity and the density of what you store. Capacity is fixed per tank. Frac water weighs 8.34 lbs per gallon, brine runs 8.5 to 10, and weighted drilling mud can top 18. The right tank holds the volume you need at a loaded weight your job […]
If your site stores oil or hazardous materials, secondary containment is the barrier that catches a spill before it reaches soil, storm drains, or navigable waters. Federal rules require it as a baseline. Miss the mark on sizing, materials, or inspections, and a single tank failure becomes a reportable discharge with penalties attached. This guide […]
A plant turnaround lives and dies by the schedule. Every unit you take offline is a unit that isn’t producing, and the storage you need to drain, hold, and process liquids often shows up as the first bottleneck. When a tank isn’t on site the morning a crew starts pulling equipment, work stops. Frac tank […]
Infrastructure projects produce water long before they produce pavement, pipe, or structure. Excavations fill with groundwater. Stormwater runs across disturbed soil. Drilling operations generate slurry, and new pipelines are tested with thousands of gallons of water that must go somewhere afterward. Every one of those streams counts as construction wastewater, and every one of them […]
Drought conditions and summer water-use restrictions are reshaping how industrial sites source, use, and discharge water. Municipalities tighten the tap, hauled water gets more expensive, and the activities that depend on steady water access (dust control, hydrotesting, dewatering, process water) start to feel the squeeze first. For a growing share of the country, this is […]
When big projects call for water or fluid storage at large volumes, standard tanks just won’t cut it. The IronMax Tank, Ironclad’s modular above-ground storage tank, offers a bigger and better solution. Boasting industrial-strength capacity of up to 2.5 million gallons, as well as a modular design that provides the flexibility required by demanding job […]
Weir tanks are specialty frac tanks designed to separate suspended solids from liquids before filtration or discharge. These tanks play a critical role in construction, chemical manufacturing, and other industrial processes, ensuring effective water treatment and sediment control. Without proper separation, suspended solids can clog equipment, violate discharge requirements, and lead to costly downtime. Weir […]
Mining operations depend on stable, dry conditions to remain productive and safe. However, excess groundwater and surface water can create serious challenges, from flooded work areas and corroded equipment to delayed operations and regulatory concerns. Mine dewatering is the process of removing this excess groundwater and surface water from mining sites to prevent these issues. […]
