Businesses that store or handle chemicals, fuels, wastes, and hazardous materials often have a regulatory obligation to contain releases before they can reach the environment and a practical obligation to protect personnel and company operations. A single, uncontrolled spill can mean permit consequences, remediation costs, work disruptions, and liability exposure that far exceed the cost of proper containment. Off-the-shelf containment products don’t always match the need, whether the footprint is wrong, chemical compatibility is uncertain, or the volume doesn't match the application.

What We Build
Off-the-shelf containment products don't always match the need as the footprint can be wrong, chemical compatibility less than ideal, or the volume doesn't match the application. Protank builds to your exact requirements.

Why Polypropylene?
Polypropylene is the material of choice for custom containment tanks. Advantages include:
Resists Acids, Alkalis & Industrial Chemicals
Capable of maintaining integrity in aggressive work conditions. Compatible with a wide range of industrial acids, alkalis, and process chemicals across concentrations typical in industrial containment environments.
30°F to 210°F Operating Range
Safe operating range of 30°F to 210°F; recommended maximum continuous operating temperature of 180°F. Designed for real industrial operating conditions, not just ambient storage.
High Tensile Strength Without the Weight
High tensile strength and impact resistance without the weight of steel or FRP. Simpler installation and onsite handling without the need for heavy equipment.
Suitable for High Purity & Hygiene Sensitive Environments
Low moisture absorption suitable for high purity, food grade, and hygiene sensitive applications. The same chemical inertness that resists industrial chemicals also ensures it won't contaminate sensitive contents.
Stock tanks and outfitting options
Protank also carries a catalog of stock tanks available for immediate purchase. This includes vertical storage HDPE and XLPE tanks, open top polypropylene tanks, cone bottom tanks, and IBC totes. Stock tanks can be purchased as-is for buyers who need a standard vessel for their own use or customization, or Protank can fully outfit them with fittings, plumbing, pumps, and components to your specifications before shipment. Contact us to discuss stock availability and outfitting options.

Design & Dimensions
Protank fabricates and customizes tanks from benchtop scale up to several thousands of gallons, and can match custom dimensions to fit your floor plan, doorway limits, or outdoor space. Whether the challenge is a non-standard footprint, a difficult access point, or a multi-zone containment layout, the design starts with your site requirements.
Structural Reinforcement
Large basins, tall containers, and tanks with high fill height can be customized with external structural reinforcement to handle hydrostatic load and resist wall deflection. Options include external girders and ribs, steel box sections, and I-beams encased in polypropylene. Reinforcement is set according to your engineering requirements.
Double Wall Option
For applications requiring superior leak protection or where SPCC regulations mandate secondary containment integrated with the primary tank, Protank can fabricate or customize double wall tanks. These products provide a built-in secondary containment layer without a separate berm or basin, saving space and simplifying installation.
Add-On Options
To match use case and job function, Protank offers a comprehensive range of additional components that can be configured to match an existing system or process layout.
- Fittings, valves, and plumbing sized and positioned to your piping specifications.
- Level sensors and alarms for leak detection and fill monitoring.
- Pump mounts, drain ports, and cleanout access, right where the process needs them.
- Baffles and dividers for multi-compartment or multi-fluid applications.
- Insulation for temperature sensitive storage.
- Leak detection sensors with immediate breach notification.
- Audible and visual alarms paired with level monitoring systems.
