Chemical tank trailers, chemical tank semi-trailers

The chemical tank is a type of tank which is specially equipped for transportation of acids, alkalies, ammonia, peroxides and other corrosive liquids.

Transportation of toxic, oxidizing, flammable and other chemically active liquids entails a considerable degree of risk both for the carrier and for the environment. Therefore, specialized chemical tanks should comply with a variety of requirements explicitly stated in the international regulations. For example, due to high reactivity of these substances, the inner surface of the reservoir should have a special coating which would prevent any reactions. Shut-off valves of the filling hatches and the discharge system should provide tight closure completely eliminating the possibility of both undesirable substances getting into the internal volume of the chemical tank and adventitious outburst of any amounts of the cargo to the environment.

Closed bodywork of such tank semi-trailers securely protects from the impact of direct sunlight, and a heat insulating layer in the walls of the chemical tank eliminates the influence of temperature changes. Many of these tanks are also equipped with a 'steam jacket', other heating and/or cooling equipment, and a system of sensors for temperature, pressure, volume of the substance, etc.
