Stainless Steel Acid Tank are industrial equipment that provide the safe storage of aggressive chemicals and acids. Manufactured from special stainless steel that offers high corrosion resistance, these tanks are preferred in many industries for their long-lasting and durable construction.
Differences from Other Tanks
Compared to plastic, carbon steel, or galvanized tanks, stainless steel tanks are far superior in both temperature and chemical resistance. Furthermore, the risk of environmental leakage is minimized.
Technical Specifications
Material Types Used (304, 316, 316L)
Grade 316L stainless steel is the most commonly used material for acid tanks. This alloy, thanks to its molybdenum content, provides chemical resistance and will not deteriorate in contact with acids. Grade 304 is suitable for less aggressive liquids.
Walled Structures and Insulation
Double-walled tanks allow the temperature of the liquid inside to be controlled. At the same time, heat exchange with the outside environment is minimized, ensuring the chemical remains at a constant temperature.
Resistance to Pressure and Chemicals
Stainless steel acid tanks are resistant to both internal pressure and external environmental factors. They remain operational without being affected by vibration, impact, or sudden temperature changes.
Areas of Use
Chemical Industry
Stainless steel acid tanks are essential in chemical plants where aggressive substances are processed. They are used for the storage, transfer, and dosing of acids.
Food and Pharmaceutical Industry
It offers ideal solutions for storing cleaning chemicals and additives under hygienic conditions.
Treatment Systems and Waste Management
Neutralization chemicals and acids used in treatment facilities are safely stored in stainless tanks.
Energy and Petrochemical Facilities
Thanks to their high heat and pressure resistant structures, they undertake critical tasks in energy production and refineries.
Durable Design Details
Interior Coating Types
Depending on the type of acid, the tank’s interior surface can be reinforced with additional protective coatings. These coatings extend the life of the material and eliminate the risk of reaction.
Sealing Systems
The gaskets, flanges, and sealing components used in tanks prevent chemical leaks. These systems also increase safety.
Valve, Sensor and Cover Technologies
Tanks can be monitored both manually and automatically with pressure relief valves, level indicators and automatic control systems.
Static Charge and Explosion Precautions
Grounding systems are integrated to prevent the accumulation of electrostatic charges. Special safety valves are used in environments with a risk of explosion.
Choosing the Right Tank
Properties of Acid to be Stored
Each acid has different physical and chemical properties. The appropriate steel quality and coating should be selected based on the type of acid to be stored.
Tank Capacity and Sizing
Production is possible in various volumes, from 500 liters to 50,000 liters, depending on need. Dimensioning should be made taking into account physical space and liquid flow rate.
Proper Load Carrying Calculations
The tank’s ground contact and load-carrying capacity are determined by static engineering calculations. This prevents potential collapse.

Maintenance and Cleaning Guide
Interior Surface Cleaning
One of the biggest advantages of stainless steel is its ease of cleaning. Periodic cleaning is necessary to prevent the buildup of acid residue. Suitable cleaning chemicals that will not damage the surface should be used.
Periodic Checks
The interior and exterior of the tank should be inspected regularly. Welds, covers, sensors, and joints should be inspected for any signs of leakage or wear.
Review of Safety Systems
Pressure relief valves, level sensors, and automatic control systems should be tested at regular intervals. The proper operation of these systems directly affects tank safety.
