Transport of Chemical Waste

1. Multiple Applications ISO tank containers were conceived in the sixties as a more economical alternative to the then 200litre steel drum. Until then drums had been the predominant means of transport of intermediate bulk parcels for 20ft shipping container shipments. A 20ft dry freight container could accommodate 78drums and thus transport 15600litre. Early tank container designs, before design software CAD was available, easily beat that and capacities of around 19200litre were attained right away and that went up gradually over the years. Today we are able to build a 20ft iso tank container of a capacity of not less than 26,000litre. The principle application of iso tank containers remains transport i.e. multi modal and intermodal transport. It is estimated that around 50% of all bulk liquids moved around the World are petroleum based products such as diesel and other fuels, besides lubricating oils and additives. Global Oil production also features high in tank container utilization with tank containers the default choice to transport drilling fluids, base oils and drilling muds, scavengers, descaling agents, flow improvers and flocculants. The shale gas revolution in USA has more recently added frac water to this mix.Storage as another attractive application comes in as a strong second, as the World continues to discover the attraction of this instant storage option packaged with the widely recognized merit of comprehensive iso tank container certification. This often beats thoughts of building a suitable storage tank from scratch. Additionally iso tank containers are increasing sought after for applications as a blending tank, ideally suited for blending lubricating oils complete with agitator easily inserted in any of the existing nozzles or through the manhole, and the smaller parcels of pharmaceutical parcels. 'First things first' is the word when selecting pre-owned tank containers best suited! At Tankformator all we need is to have our customers tell us which product(s) they intend to transport or store or transport upon which Tankformator will propose the unit type that best suits customers’ needs. In case a cargo is DG providing the 4 Digit UN no and MSDS is important.

2. Finding Tank containers that provide Value for money One would be forgiven to think that your interests are best served to just pick the lowest possible offer when selecting pre-owned tank containers. This is a folly! Within a few years you will find why we say that! Tankformator supplies good quality tanks mostly just below or above ‘midway their life cycle’ generally considered to be a minimum of 30 years. Whereas these tank containers are unlikely going to trump the ‘cheapest’ offer, buyers are advised to consider offer price and residual lifespan when they purchase pre-owned tank containers. We can explain!! Tankformator possesses knowledge and expertise across tank container manufacture, repairs & maintenance, logistics, and tank container leasing. Tankformator positions itself as having the capacity to ‘get it right first time’ with much of this owing to its ‘know how.’ Tankformator takes the trial and error approach out of the equation and with that significant business risks that other suppliers may have to resort to? Longer life span equals reduced Operating cost You do the math! Example: excluding the cost of interest, the annual cost of a tank container that was purchased for U$12,000.00 and is expected to last 5years will be US$2,400.00. A tank container that is purchased for U$14,000.00 but is expected to last another 10 years, will cost you just half that. ‘Peace of Mind’ when buying Pre-owned Tank containers Customers need not ‘fly blind'.Tankformator tank containers come with a Tank container Fitness Attestation, that includes Dial Life Cycle, a gauge complete with indicator that points to the estimated residual life span!
