Cannon Water Technology offers double wall storage tanks in various sizes and dimensions. While we manufacture our own double wall chemical storage tanks, we also source them from reputed brands such as HM Digital, which offers our clients a wide portfolio.
Role of Double Wall Storage Tank in Enhancing Safety and Containment
Here’s how double wall storage tanks help in safe storage of chemicals and abrasive fluids.
- They are a great alternative to concrete tanks that are not only expensive but need special coating to store abrasive chemicals.
- The inner tank covering overlaps with the sidewalls of the outer tank to prevent anything from the external environment to enter inside. This prevents contamination.
- Also, the inside chemicals, oils, and so on cannot come out because of the double wall protection.
- Leakage issue if any can be quickly detected by observing the interstitial space between the two walls. In case of such as issue, the outer wall still acts as a barrier for the fluid to leak into the outside environment.
- This forms a safety layer and protects the personnel working in the area from spilling of hazardous chemicals.
- These tanks also prevent wastage and the effort required to clean up the area after any such spillage. This also saves cost and time.
Features of Double Wall Containment Tanks We Offer
Our selection comprises D-Tainer Mini and Sherman Double wall storage tanks. These double wall tanks have been successfully used in various manufacturing and storage facilities. The following features of our tanks are widely appreciated by our clients.
- The inner and outer walls offer double protection against leaks and spills and hence ensure safety.
- At Cannon Water, we also offer an automatic tank filling system with high-level alarms and float valve which eliminates the issue of spillage while filling the tank. The float valve keeps the levels at the required setpoint.
- The materials of these tanks are resistant to corrosive chemicals, wastewater contaminants, acids, and so on. We manufacture a line of tanks specially designed for storing toxic fluids
- We use extremely durable materials that are weather proof and highly resistant, such as high-density polyethylene.
- The double containment tanks manufactured by Cannon Water are designed such as that they take minimal floor space.
- They are wall mountable owing to their flat surface design, which also obstructs anything from falling into the tank.
- We offer these tanks in a variety of sizes from 7- to 120-gallon capacities and beyond.
- We offer custom options in terms of shape, size, mounting options, and more. We can accommodate level sensors, pumps, and mixer agitators as per your requirements.

FAQs on Our Double Wall Storage Tanks
-
Are double wall tanks required by law?
Yes, in many industries dealing with hazardous materials or where groundwater contamination is a concern, double wall tanks are mandated by environmental protection regulations. Manufacturers need to ensure compliance when making these tanks for specific applications such as hazardous chemicals, food, and so on. Industry standards vary based on local, state, or federal laws.
-
What kind of maintenance do double wall tanks require?
It is necessary to check for signs of wear, corrosion, and leaks. Periodically monitor the interstitial space for leaks and ensure it is clean. Maintenance frequency depends on the stored substance and environmental conditions.
-
How do you detect leaks in a double wall tank?
Leak detection in double wall tanks can be conducted through visual checks, manual testing of the interstitial space, or using automated leak detection systems that alert operators in case of a leak.
-
What happens if the outer tank of a double wall tank fails?
If the inner wall leaks, you have the outer wall for protection. While the outer tank's failure is less common due to its protective role and less exposure to aggressive substances, such an event would require immediate action to prevent environmental damage. Ensure you have emergency response plans and secondary containment strategies in place.
-
Can double wall tanks be customized?
Yes, double wall tanks can be customized in terms of size, shape, material, and additional features like heating or cooling systems, depending on the specific needs of the application.
-
What are the cost implications of opting for a double wall tank?
Double wall tanks are generally more expensive than single wall tanks as they have a complex design and construction. However, the long-term benefits of reduced environmental risk and complying with regulations does outweigh the initial investment.
