IMFO - Vertical Chemical Storage Tanks
Traditional tank maintenance can be a challenge with many chemicals – so Poly has developed a unique system that helps minimize the hazards associated with traditional vertical tank maintenance. With Poly’s Integrally Molded Flanged Outlet, or IMFO® system, the flange is molded while the tank is processing, making it a stress-free part of the tank. The flange is created from the same material as the tank – it’s not an insert introduced during or at post-production.
- Since the flange is at the bottom of the tank, full drainage is achieved below the tank knuckle radius, which can eliminate the need to enter the tank for cleaning.
- One-piece construction enhances long-term performance of the tank, since it doesn’t compromise the tank hoop’s integrity or structural design.
- In aggressive applications, the complete flange face is protected by the antioxidant OR-1000™ system.
- The IMFO’s design brings you the highest amount of static head pressure, which contributes to the highest net positive head suction (NPHS) of any vertical non-coned tank.
Vertical Tanks with IMFO®
Freight:
Choose the factory closest to you for the best freight rates. If a tank from a more distant factory is required for volume or dimensions, we may be able to equalize freight to make it the same as another choice. We have trucks that go between factories and other arrangements. Please inquire through your salesperson for details.
The concrete pad drawings for the IMFO® tanks are for illustration purposes only and should not be used for actual construction. The customer/project engineer should review all information regarding tank installation including seismic and wind restraint requirements, anchor bolt edge distance requirements along with site elevations for pad height. The 6″ notch height/depth shown on the concrete pad illustration drawings is a recommendation and allows a margin of safety for clearance of the largest IMFO® which is 6″ ANSI (11″ diameter).
