Wastewater tank:
A wastewater tank is a container for storing sewage passed through by drains and toilets from schools, homes, and businesses which flow into sewer systems, on a non-stop basis. At Chemstore, we stock FRP Underground Emergency Sewage Tanks which can hold underground sewerage overflow tanks up to 780 kilolitres and last up to 50 years.

Agricultural tanks:
An agricultural tank provides effective water storage wherever surface water run-off can be collected for livestock, crop spraying, irrigation and domestic use on rural properties. These excavated storage tanks are readied for well-designed and constructed farm assets and require mininmal maintenance. At Chemstore, we supply FRP Underground Rainwater Harvesting Tanks, an installation one-piece tank that maintains your rain harvesting system while eliminating three weeks’ worth of labour costs when compared to conventional tank installations.

Liquid tanks are designed to maintain pH as well as varying temperature. At Chemstore, we have FRP Industrial Water Tanks, which are cost-effective and superior to standard plastic water storage units.
