Poly Processing Company products

An aggressive oxidizer that presents a major storage challenge. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is used in a variety of applications, particularly in disinfecting drinking water and wastewater.

Through a combination of innovative features, Poly Processing creates the ideal system for sulfuric acid storage. With their robust load tolerance, crosslinked polyethylene tanks can more than handle the chemical’s heavy weight. The molecular bonding of XLPE and tank wall thickness is particularly important in the bottom third of the tank, where high levels of load are concentrated.

Controlling a chemical - and its fumes. Also known as muriatic acid, hydrochloric acid is used to acidize petroleum wells, remove scales from boilers, aid in ore reduction and serve as a chemical intermediate, among other applications.

Defying a chemical that “finds” leaks: Also known as caustic soda or liquid lye, sodium hydroxide is used to adjust pH in water and wastewater treatment and in the manufacture of chemicals, rayon, cellophane, pulp and paper, aluminum, detergents, soaps and a wide range of other products.

Reducing the risk of human exposure: Used in the production of aluminum, fluorocarbons and gasoline and for applications like glass etching and uranium processing, hydrofluoric acid is an extremely dangerous chemical that must be handled with the utmost care.

Controlling heat to avoid hazardous reactions. Hydrofluosilicic acid is used in water fluoridation, ceramic production, electroplating, bottle sterilizing, brewing and many other applications.

Containing chemicals that react to their environment. Ferrics, alums and polymers are commonly used to treat water and wastewater. There are several reasons why these substances require specialized storage: Separation, settling and coagulation are major issues with these chemicals – and those conditions can be compounded by temperature variations. Settling and separation issues can lead to difficulty in pumping the chemicals. The chemicals are often delivered at elevated temperatures, testing the expansion and contraction capabilities of a tank. Ferrics create fumes that can defoliate surrounding trees and plants. Polymers can act as an environmental stress-cracking agent.

Peracetic Acid is a widely used chemical in healthcare, produce processing, beef and poultry processing, aseptic packaging & filling, and water treatment. Poly Processing’s tanks and fitting systems can be combined specifically to safely contain PAA, reducing the risks presented by this highly oxidizing chemical.

A urea-based chemical reactant designed specifically for use in SCR systems to reduce NOx emissions. To meet 2010 EPA regulations in North America, most producers of diesel engines have announced plans to use Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, requiring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF). DEF is essentially a mixture of water and urea. In diesel vehicles, you pump a controlled amount of DEF into the exhaust stream; there the DEF is converted to ammonia. The ammonia then breaks down nitrogen oxides, significantly reducing pollution.

Tank designs to meet the lifecycle cost of a landfill. Leachate and condensate from landfills can contain hazardous constituents either as a direct result of the waste disposed in the facility (e.g., household hazardous wastes) or as a result of the breakdown of the chemical compounds found in waste (e.g., leachate derived constituents).
