You might know what it looks like, but have you ever wondered what an ISO tank really is?
What is ISO tank?
An ISO tank is a stainless steel cylindrical vessel fixed to a mild steel frame that has received certification from the International Standardization Organization (ISO). This type of container is suitable for various modes of transportation, and can hold products in bulk that range from liquids, gasses, to powders. ISO tanks come in different sizes for different purposes. They can also hold hazardous and non-hazardous chemicals while still being very sustainable with a low carbon footprint.
The T11 type is one of the most common ISO tank containers, primarily transporting non-hazardous chemicals and some hazardous chemicals. Additionally, there are other types like T14 for acids, T50 for LPG and ammonia gas, and T75 for cryogenic liquids. These containers serve various purposes and come in different sizes, according to the specific product shipped.
Their strong carbon steel frames and stainless steel bodies are made to handle the wear and tear of long trips for 20 years on average. This results in much less waste compared to single-use options, thereby reducing the environmental damage caused by manufacturing and disposing of these products.
There are several advantages to using ISO tanks:
- Reusable after washing;
- Unlikely to leak;
- Withstand extreme pressure and damage;
- Transported by land or ocean;
- Their material is easy to melt. So they can be recycled into a brand new tank with a 15-year life expectancy.
