Pressure tank

Pressure tanks can be seen in many industries and fields.
These can be chemistry tanks as well as tanks in the food industry, namely foodstuff tanks. For example, pressure tanks are frequently used in beer brewing.

Pressure tanks used as foodstuff tanks

Pressure builds up in the anaerobic digestions tank during beer brewing which the tank needs to balance out. A pressure tank may therefore also be what is known as an anaerobic digestion or beer tank. The name depends on what it’s used for. Pressure tanks are also used to produce sparkling and semi-sparkling wine.

Functions of a pressure tank

The pressure inside a pressure tank is always higher than the pressure outside. For this reason, there are various requirements for pressure tanks that they must meet. They come in various designs which can be chosen depending on what they will be used for. We also offer temperature-controllable pressure tanks in different sizes.

Additional uses of a pressure tank

Pressure tanks can also be used to treat water. In the chemical industry, it must be ensured when using environmentally harmful substances that the tank is properly supported and the liquids are unable to enter the groundwater. For this reason, we recommend a location far away from drains and, if possible, a retention basin which can catch the liquid if needed and thus prevent more serious damage.

Cleaning pressure tanks

Cleaning a pressure tank depends entirely on its contents. In the case of foodstuffs, the cleaning process must be thorough so that, when brewing beer for example, no residue remains from the anaerobic digestion process. Pressure tanks in the chemical industry should be particularly carefully cleaned, too. If a pressure tank contains residue of a substance, said residue may react with a new substance.
Proper cleaning also benefits the lifespan of a tank.

Our used tanks are all thoroughly cleaned prior to being resold and are therefore suitable both as foodstuff tanks and for other substances. Our pressure tanks also have a long life span of several years thanks to professional treatment.
