On the outside of every tank liner we manufacture there will be a number written in several different places. No, this is not some marking of the Illuminati! The numbers are simply the order number of the tank liner itself.

Grommets and a drawstring rope have always been the traditional method for fastening a tank liner to the tank. The drawstring rope is a fine method for small liners (under 3 ft. in any dimension) but the rope doesn’t securely fasten the drop in liner to the tank flange.

On occasion a tank containing a tank liner may be taken off line and stored for a period of time. Just as a tank liner can be stored on its own, if properly folded, there is no issue with storing a drop in liner in the tank itself.

We make a point that we make industrial tank liners. We don’t make pond liners, lagoons, inflatables, etc. This is because the fabrication techniques for those products don’t lend themselves to making a well-fitting liner for tanks and containment areas.

Besides being asked can a drop in liner be made to certain dimensions or have built in items like sumps or tank pads, a common question is “How big of a liner can you make?” The answer is “As big of a liner as you need!”

In a previous blog I wrote about how to protect the bottom of your tank liner by using a rigid plastic shield system. Another method of protecting a drop in liner is to make a double bottom on the liner.

With any type of lining system there is always the risk of damage to the liner due to objects falling in the tank. Even though drop in liners can be easily repaired it makes sense to try to avoid this issue in the first place.

Hard chrome plating solutions are notorious for breaking down tank liners at the area where solution and oxygen interact. This is because as the solution evaporates the fumes condensate back on the liner. That condensate is now at a concentration of chrome beyond which PVC can handle. This causes the liner to break down at this area while the rest of the liner that is under solution still has years of service life left.

Witt Lining Systems’ flexible PVC tank liners offer many advantages over bonded liners. The advantages can provide the benefit of a longer lasting liner system with a lower overall operating cost.
