How much is a million gallon tank?

Why A Corrugated Bolted Steel Tank?

FLOORS:
Corrugated Bolted Steel Tanks generally rest on a concrete base, eliminating the need for a steel floor as the concrete itself serves as the foundation. The tank walls are securely anchored to the base where necessary, often supporting a Flexible Membrane NSF61 certified and Geotextile Pre-liner system.

In cases where a tank must be engineered as a self-anchored unit, steel floors can be employed when installed upon a properly compacted granular or road base ring foundation.

ANCHORS:
When installing a tank on a concrete base, anchoring is essential, irrespective of its purpose or location, unless the tank has been designed with a steel floor and is classified as self-anchored. Our anchors conform to ASCE7-10 and AWWA standards, integrating tall anchor saddles and A36 F zinc or galvanized all-thread anchor rods. Options include standard non-seismic anchors, Heavy Duty Seismic Anchors, stiffener plates, and Fully Stiffened configurations.

ROOF STRUCTURES:
There are various roof styles available for Corrugated Bolted Steel Tanks, catering to both structural integrity and aesthetic appeal. We offer options like 30-degree V Rib, 10-degree V Rib, Structured 30-degree V Rib, Structured 10-degree J Rib, Flat Corrugated, and 30-degree Flat Panel Tanks.

• The 30-degree V Rib structure is the most popular due to its high snow load-bearing capacity.
• 10-degree V Rib structures are often chosen for their visual appeal.
• For wider diameters of 55’ and beyond, 30-degree Structured J Rib is favored.
• 10-degree Structured J Rib is generally preferred in tanks with a diameter of 37’ or more, especially in areas with wind speeds above 130 MPH. See link to drawings.

SAFETY APPURTENANCES:

To ensure safety on Corrugated Bolted Steel Tanks, we manufacture and install features including partial and full guardrails, OSHA-compliant caged exterior ladder systems, anti-climb rungs and cages, deck access openings, side shell manways, catwalks, roof cap walkarounds, frost-free vents, and bridges as needed. See link to line drawings and photos.

FITTINGS AND APPURTENANCES:
Our tanks come equipped with ANSI 150# Flanges, Victaulic Groove Steel Flanges, and Stainless Steel Threaded Flanges, alongside OSHA compliant ladders, gauges, vents, immersion heaters, and temperature switches. See link to drawings.

INSULATION:
Interior polyiso insulation fits snugly between the steel walls and the flexible membrane liner. Elongated steel flanges are modified accordingly to accommodate this insulation. Immersion heaters can also be installed per NFPA22 standards.

LINERS:
We offer NSF-61 rated flexible membrane liner systems crafted from materials approved by AWWA D130, with welded seams custom-fitted before installation. For exceptionally large tanks, some field welding may be necessary. Our liners comply with AWWA D130 and Manual M25 instructions for flexible membrane liners and floating covers, with materials including Hypalon, Polypropylene, and PVC, all NSF61 approved. See link to drawings.

A Million Gallons of Water -- How Much is it?

As you explore USGS water-use information, you’ll notice that water withdrawals and uses are typically measured in "million gallons per day" (Mgal/d). Understanding the data becomes clearer when you visualize the volume of a million gallons. A standard-sized bathtub holds approximately 40 gallons, implying that a million gallons can fill around 25,000 baths. For a more relatable estimation, consider a swimming pool.

For instance, if a swimming pool builder was commissioned to create a pool to hold a million gallons, the client would require quite a sizable backyard! The pool dimensions would need to be around 267 feet long, 50 feet wide, and 10 feet deep. Alternatively, 1 million gallons can also be visualized as forming a cube measuring 51.1 feet on each side.

Some helpful conversions:

• 1 Mgal/d = 1.547 cubic feet per second
• 1 Mgal/d = 694.4 gallons per minute
• 1 Mgal/d = 1.121 thousand acre-feet per year
• 1 million gallons = 3,785,412 liters
• 1 million gallons = 3.07 acre feet

How much do you think a million gallons (3,785,412 liters) of water weighs?

'  At 8.34 pounds per gallon, the total weight of one million gallons equals 8,340,000 pounds.

'  In metric terms, with 1 kilogram per liter, the weight of 3,785,412 liters amounts to 3,785,412 kilograms.
