A common feature in process tanks is an air agitation system. Commonly these air spargers consist of a series of small diameter pipes with air forced through them. Typically, the piping needs to be secured in place. This is a very easy thing to do with a drop in tank liner.

On occasion, there can be a need to adjust the hole location for Wittclips or rope in order to make your drop in liner fit properly. Fortunately, it’s a simple fix.

One of the advantages of a Witt drop in tank liner versus a bonded liner is that a drop in liner can be adjusted for size after fabrication should your requirements change.

Our PVC drop in liners are a great solution for secondary containment problems. Flexible PVC liners are fast to install, require minimum surface preparation, and probably most important, can bridge cracks in concrete that would cause coatings to fail.

A common practice with bonded PVC liners is to install one thickness to the sidewalls (typically 3/32 in.) and a thicker gauge (3/16 in.) on the bottom. This may be sold under the guise of providing greater puncture resistance but in the end this is only for the installer’s benefit not yours.

Because PVC tank liners are custom fabricated for an exact fit we require precise measurements of the area to be lined. Of those dimensions the most critical would be the inside dimensions of an outlet. Whether too big or too small, an ill-fitting outlet can lead to a premature failure of a flexible liner.

When designing a tank liner, obviously our layout engineer needs to be using the same terminology or definitions that you use to describe the tank. In particular there can be some misleading terms used to describe the top rim or flange of the tank.

To err is human and sometimes humans err when it comes to ordering their tank liners. No worries though. In many cases it isn’t too hard of a fix to adjust a PVC liner to the correct dimensions.

Witt flexible PVC tank liners can be built to handle accoutrements like outlets, sumps, manways, etc. The questions often asked is, “should they be built into the liner or made separate and field installed?” The answer is both – depending upon a number of factors.
