Storage tanks are used throughout the process of manufacturing bio-fuels such as ethanol and bio-diesel. Columbian TecTank has designed and manufactured storage tanks for a variety of applications including:
- Yeast Tank
- Caustics
- Syrup
- Raw Feedstock Oils
- Glycerin
- Methanol
- Lime, Coal & Ash Slurries
- Bulk Bio-Diesel
- Fire Protection
- Process Water
- Wastewater
- Corn – Feedstock Storage
- Dry Distiller’s Grain
Columbian TecTank has manufactured tanks for more than 40 different bio-fuels plants throughout North America. Due to the aggressive nature of many of the liquids that need to be handled in the ethanol and bio-diesel processes, our proprietary Trico-Bond EP system is the coating of choice to fight corrosion and contamination. Some applications require the use of stainless steel which can also be provided in our unique bolted sectional design tanks.
CTT’s bolted modular design allows for fast and easy construction on the job-site and does not require field coating, field welding or heavy cranes and machinery. It can also be expanded to handle increased volume in the future. Erection times are typically less than half the time it takes to construct a concrete or field welded tank.
