NONMETALLIC TANK/PUMP SYSTEMS
For Collection, Transfer or Treatment of Corrosive Process and Waste Liquids
STANDARD OR CUSTOMIZED SYSTEMS
STATIONARY OR MOBILE MODELS
TANKS FROM 60 TO 5,000 GALLONS

Duplex pump/tank system with two Sump-Gard®
vertical pumps, rising rod float controls,
instrumentation, and control panel.
 Mobile tank/pump system with self-priming
Flex-i-liner® rotary pump for collecting corrosive
wastes from multiple sites.
|
These user friendly tank/pump systems with single or
double wall tank construction, and with all fluid contact components
made of chemically inert nonmetallic materials, are recommended for
chemical processing, plating, metal finishing, waste treatment,
pollution control or other services which require the collection,
transfer, neutralization or treatment of corrosive, abrasive, hazardous
or ultrapure fluids. Vanton manually operated or completely automated systems are available in
square, rectangular or cylindrical configuration, in standard or customized
design and in your choice of thermoplastic, thermoset or plastic-lined metal
tanks. They can be equipped with horizontal centrifugal, vertical sump or
rotary peristaltic thermoplastic pumps made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC),
chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polypropylene (PP) polyvinylidene
fluoride (PVDF) or ethylene chloro-trifluoroethylene (ECTFE). The systems
can be furnished with associated piping and instrumentation made of these or
other engineered plastics inert to the fluids being handled. |
Self-contained, nonmetallic
automated pH neutralization systems
To help municipalities and industrial plants respond to government
regulations which require that acids, alkalis, salts and contaminated waste
fluids be neutralized before discharge into public waters, Vanton has
developed these self-contained nonmetallic neutralization systems that
automatically monitor the pH and control the chemical additions required for
neutralizing the effluents. All components, including the sump and metering
pumps, the tank, valves, piping and controls in contact with the fluids are
made of chemically inert plastics. The typical system shown here requires
only electrical and piping hook-up to be fully operable.

TYPICAL TANK/PUMP SYSTEMS
 |
|
 |
Pump and tank cover elevated to show mercury switch level control for use
with shallow tanks |
|
Pontoon supported air driven vertical centrifugal pump for draining
settling lagoons or for oil skimming. |
 |
|
 |
Portable double-wall tank provides extra protection when handling hazardous
fluids. |
|
Cylindrical tank/pump system. Vanton vertical pumps utilize Fume-Gard™ vapor
seals to eliminate toxic, noxious or corrosive emissions. |
SPECIFICATIONS
- Standard or customized thermoplastic, thermoset or plastic lined metal
tanks to be supplied with single or multiple thermoplastic pumps and
designated instrumentation and controls.
- Plastic tank joints to be hot gas welded to provide continuous
leak-proof, easy to clean seams. The design should avoid recesses or
blind areas where chemicals might lodge and be difficult to flush. Elastometric sealing between tank cover and tank provides further insurance
against leakage and emissions.
- Pump casings and impellers in contact with the fluids to be handled must
be furnished in solid (not lined), virgin, homogeneous thermoplastics
selected for the indicated service conditions. Designs must assure that no
metal components will be in fluid contact. The steel shaft is to be isolated
from the liquid by a heavy sectioned thermoplastic sleeve.
- When packaged tank/pump systems are specified, they are to be user-ready,
requiring only electrical and piping hook-up to be completely operable.
- Double wall tanks to have built-in leak detection devices and sensors
when required, linked to visual and audible alarms.
- Automated systems, where required, to include liquid level controls,
visual and audible signal devices, analog and digital display flow meters,
flow totalizers, pH controllers and other instrumentation selected for the
indicated service conditions.


Note: Capacities are based on a full tank. For larger sizes contact the
factory. Specifications and dimensions subject to change.
Nonmetallic Pumps
