High resistance roll-extruded tanks
Designed for complex applications, highly corrosive products and large volumes
Roll-extruded tanks : sensitive storage
Safety as a priority
Our vertical tanks are manufactured by roll-extrusion and meet the storage requirements of many customers within the chemical and para-chemical, pharmaceutical, water treatment and nuclear industries.
They have been designed for the storage of hazardous materials, concentrated acids and alkalines, acidic and alkaline effluents in temperature ranges of -45 °C to +90 °C.

Roll-extruded tanks
Technical performance and chemical compatibility
- Chemical resistance: the chemical inertness of HDPE (high density polyethylene) and PP (polypropylene) guarantees the reliable storage of corrosive and dangerous chemicals. Following rinsing, a vessel may, for example, store caustic soda followed by hydrochloric acid. They are extremely versatile.
- Resistance to UV.
- Mechanical resistance: the roll-extrusion process can produce linings with variable thickness along the vertical plane. Thicknesses are specified according to the products being stored. The lining thus produced is both free of internal stress, mechanically homogeneous, isotropic and balanced (no tension-compression). The thickness of the wall can reach up to 120 mm.
- Increased safety due to an optional double envelope: the very design of the retention tank guarantees 100% reliable storage. No leakage possible.
- Versatility of tanks: each tank can be given a different function through the use of peripheral equipment such as service access and walkways, gas scrubbers, heaters… Many types of equipment and accessories are available, allowing customers to create a complete storage environment.
- Guaranteed traceability of materials used.
- Significant thermal insulation.
- Recyclability of material: EELIX tanks are 100% recyclable, even after 30 years of use. The materials used are perfectly suited to a circular economy
