API-620 Effluent Tanks for National Laboratory

Springs Fabrication successfully completed the design, fabrication, and delivery of two custom Effluent Tanks for a prominent National Laboratory. These tanks were engineered to meet the exacting specifications of API-620, the industry standard for large, welded, low-pressure storage tanks, ensuring long-term reliability and safe containment of effluent liquids.

Each tank features a capacity of approximately 11,000 gallons, with dimensions of 12 feet in outside diameter and 8 feet in side shell height. Designed for high-integrity containment in a demanding laboratory environment, the tanks were constructed using 304/L stainless steel for all wetted parts, offering excellent corrosion resistance and compatibility with a range of chemical effluents.

To support the tanks structurally, carbon steel support legs were integrated into the design and finished with an industrial-grade protective paint coating to withstand harsh operational conditions and extend service life.

Springs Fabrication managed the entire production process in-house, ensuring strict quality control and adherence to regulatory standards. This comprehensive scope included:

• Engineering and design to API-620 code

• Material processing and structural fabrication

• Precision welding and stainless steel handling

• Industrial painting and coating systems

• Rigorous quality assurance and functional testing

This project underscores Springs Fabrication’s expertise in delivering high-specification stainless steel vessels for critical infrastructure in the scientific and research sectors. Our team is proud to contribute to projects that support national innovation and environmental stewardship.
