Agricultural Water Storage / Processing

AGRICULTURAL applications for underground storage tanks range from replacing the old concrete tank by the windmill to pretreating water before it is released into a sensitive fish farm lagoon.

A large volume of stored and treated water can be used to flush and sterilize below hog and cattle pens with elevated floors. Darco polyethylene OcTanks were designed into a methane powered cogeneration system as anaerobic digesters converting animal waste to combustible methane gas for a Colorado hog feeding operation.

Tanks can also be used to digest dead poultry, for safe liquefied disposal.

The agricultural uses for underground storage tanks are vast and varied across the country. Contrast raising aquatic plants and fish or crustaceans in Georgia to hog and cattle production in the Mid-West or rain water collection with drinkers for exotic wild game in Nevada. The most active agricultural underground tank applications have traditionally been in the areas of waste treatment and odor control.

Darco manufactured polyethylene and fiberglass vessels are highly corrosion resistant and easily outperform and outlive metal or concrete tanks in this aggressive, harsh, environment.
