Description
This is plant-scale storage — the class of vessel that sits behind a bulk plant, a distributor’s yard or a continuous process load.
Service is bulk storage and transfer — filling smaller vessels, loading transports, or feeding sustained process demand.
Filled to the 80% limit this vessel holds about 14,400 gallons of propane — roughly 1,318 million BTU, or about 61,056 lb of product. Against a steady 100,000 BTU/hr load that is roughly 549 days of continuous running before it needs refilling.
In our range it sits between the 11,600 gallon and the 20,000 gallon. If the load is borderline, the 20,000 is the safer buy and the freight is the same either way.

Siting and installation
Built on skids rather than fixed foundations, this vessel suits temporary sites, phased projects and operations that expect to move it. It arrives ready to set and connect.
This is supplied as equipment, not as an installed service. NFPA 58 and your local authority govern how and where it may be set.
Condition and documentation
We verify the stamp and pressure test the vessel before it leaves the yard, and the paperwork for your exact unit goes out with the order.
Valves and fittings are inspected as a set. A vessel goes out with a working gauge and a relief valve in date, or it does not go out.
Running costs
Refill pricing rewards volume. A tank that takes a full delivery in one visit will always beat one that needs topping up twice.
Buying notes
Size against the real load, not the optimistic one. A vessel one size too small costs more across ten years of refills than the larger one did on the day you bought it.
Have the appliance ratings to hand when you call. Total BTU and the climate decide the capacity; everything else is siting.
