Unequaled Quality and Reputation:

For over thirty years now, Town & Country Plastics, Inc. remains the leading manufacturer and designer of chemical neutralization/dilution systems and equipment. These T&C systems components and/or equipment are manufactured only of the finest quality materials of construction; yet, T&C products are the most competitively priced. T&C offers far superior tanks, sumps, basins, limestone chips, warning/maintenance signs, pH monitoring-recording-alarm systems, pH probe assemblies, chemical feed systems, pumps, agitators (mixers), chemical sampling equipment, chemical piping, fittings & valves, etc. Most of all, T&C neutralization/dilution tanks and equipment resist the worst, most harmful acids, caustics and solvents.

While standard T&C tanks can be purchased, T&C also offers you a selection of more precise, sophisticated neutralization/dilution systems. In addition, T&C offers you numerous standard tank options, so that the T&C tank(s) you need, are built the way you need them. You can change the fitting types, sizes, centerline heights and locations. You can also choose between various T&C tank materials, tank sizes, tank heights, tank extensions, special tank covers, manholes, cleanouts, internal elbows or tees with drop (dip) tubes, etc. Under sink, small units readily available.

Again, T&C remains THE LEADER in neutralization/dilution equipment and systems. T&C was the FIRST to actively promote the usage of superior HDPE and PP materials for this application, as well as special traffic covers, pH monitoring-recording-alarm systems, proper limestone chips usage, etc. T&C was also the FIRST to offer various complete sizing and technical information charts, limestone chips technical information and usage sheets, detailed information on these tanks' function, etc. Without question, and for quality and performance, as well as low prices, choose T&C as your most reliable choice. Well over one hundred thousand of our tanks are already in use, without any failures. T&C has the answers for your next chemical bearing, wastewater project.

General Information:

Hundreds of thousands of HDPE & PP piping and tank systems are already in use for many years, in all types of industrial, institutional and commercial applications. These polyolefin drainage, waste and vent (DWV) systems handle all types of hazardous corrosive, toxic and flammable wastes without failure. For the above reasons, many city and state plumbing codes specifically specify polyolefin neutralization/dilution tanks for handling all types of chemical wastes.

Two types of polyolefin tanks are available from Town & Country Plastics - HDPE (high-density polyethylene) tanks for temperatures up to 180°F for continuos use, or 212F for intermittent use and PP (polypropylene) tanks for up to 212F continuous use. In most all cases, the HDPE tanks will surpass performance requirements and PP tanks will meet the severest requirements, In comparison, both HDPE and PP tanks are superior to competitive conventional polyethylene or glazed-ceramic (chemical stoneware) tanks. Also, T&C tanks are competitive to other HDPE and PP neutralization/dilution tanks. T&C also offers PP pipes, fittings, valves, floor drains, sinks, cup sinks, etc. (Note: PP tanks are more brittle in colder weather.) HDPE tanks are to be chosen for almost all installations.

Function:

T&C polyolefin tanks are designed to dilute and neutralize harmful wastes that may be discharged from laboratories, industrial processors or any other water polluting sources. Even when harmful wastes are destined for a chemical treatment facility, T&C tanks can still be useful in diluting the polluted effluent; thereby reducing the burden of treatment placed upon such plants or facilities.

Construction:

All standard T&C tanks are cylindrical in shape; they are flanged at the top and are shipped complete with connecting fittings, matching cover, gaskets and bolts. Only virgin polyolefin materials are used to make T&C tanks. All polyolefin materials used conform to ASTM material specifications D1248-70 for HDPE and D4101 for PP. Standard HDPE tanks are black in color; while PP tanks are white in color or translucent. HDPE fittings are generally yellow and PP fittings are black. HDPE and PP tanks are rotationally molded and are seamless in construction. PP tanks cannot be successfully molded in larger sizes and must be fabricated using similar techniques as in fabricating metal tanks. Both HDPE and PP tanks are available in standard sizes. However, all tanks may be custom fabricated to any dimensions specified. Fitting connection size and location may be changed on the tank, upon request. Adaptors are also available to connect tanks to many special piping systems (e.g., glass piping, high-silicon piping, cast iron piping and lead piping), upon request. All these changes are available at extra costs.

HDPE and PP tanks are self-supporting. However, larger T&C tanks are reinforced with steel bands for added strength, without additional charge. (Do NOT install tanks in direct sunlight).

Certain below ground tanks may require extensions to tank height. To accomplish this, two tanks are molded. The top of one and bottom of the other are cut out and welded together, to add the height. A band of the same material is added over the weld area, inside or outside the tank, at T&C's discretion.

Sometimes these tanks are also offered to as acid (chemical) neutralizing sumps.

Choose HDPE Tank Material for almost all projects. PP material also available, at higher cost.
