Frac Tanks

Basic fracking equipment includes the heavy gauge steel 500 barrel tank. It is often used in conjunction with pumps, filters, dewatering machinery, and vacuum boxes. Municipalities may also want to utilize such equipment depending on the application.

Clarion Municipal offers used frac tanks sold as-is in a variety of models. Used frac tanks are nearly half the cost of new, saving cities money in their water storage investment. Each is designed to allow fluid to be completely emptied without tilting the tank or worrying about the slope of the ground.

Models include:

• Corrugated Wall
• Smooth Wall / V-Bottom
• Smooth Wall / Round Bottom

All our frac tanks are DOT registered for easy transportation. The most common method is a tractor with a winch and fifth wheel attachment. This allows tanks to be moved on site for fluid processing, or tanks can transport liquids to different locations for disposal or treatment.

Stormwater Storage – In many cities and counties, Stormwater Runoff has become a serious concern. Often municipalities don't have the infrastructure to deal with large amounts of stormwater or are in the process of upgrading their systems. Fracking tanks offer a temporary solution to store stormwater while waiting for processing and proper disposal.

Utility Construction and Repair – Public utilities are often involved in construction or repair somewhere within city limits. By having fracking equipment acting as temporary storage, water and other liquids involved in the process are easily accessible. The immediate availability of a 500 barrel tank helps expedite projects and keep costs down.

Diesel Storage – Municipal fleets often contain vehicles and equipment that run on diesel. Many fueling facilities will sell their product at cheaper rates for higher quantities. By purchasing truckloads of oil at once and storing it in frac tanks, cities can save time and money. Fleet Maintenance has a large, ready supply of fuel when necessary, while the annual budget doesn't go over projected costs.

Wastewater Filtration – Fracking machinery can function as additional water treatment and septic storage receptacles, particularly during repair or system back-ups. Frac tanks can handle most treatment chemicals. Wastewater can also be left alone in the tank to allow residual oils to rise to top. Regardless of treatment choice, a 500 BBL frac tank will hold a great deal of grey water until proper removal.
