What is a Metal Tank?

A metal tank is a storage container made primarily from metals such as steel, stainless steel, or aluminium, designed to hold liquids, gases, or other materials. These tanks are widely used in agriculture, industrial manufacturing, chemical processing, water storage, fuel storage, and food production due to their strength, durability, and resistance to high pressure.

Metal tanks come in various shapes and sizes—above-ground or underground, cylindrical or rectangular, and can be custom-built to suit specific applications. They are ideal for storing:

  • Water (potable or non-potable)

  • Fuel and oils

  • Chemicals and industrial fluids

  • Liquid food products

  • Wastewater and effluent

However, metal tanks are also vulnerable to corrosion, rust, and leakage over time, especially in environments with high moisture or chemical exposure. That’s why regular inspection, maintenance, and protective coating are essential to ensure safety and longevity.
