Tramspread, a company specialising in the management of slurry and digestate, has launched a new series of temporary slurry storage solutions. These storage tanks, designed for rapid installation, feature a steel construction with a robust landflex elvaloy liner, tailored for slurry storage needs.
Constructed in the UK by Butyl Products Ltd, the butek tank stores come in a variety of sizes, offering capacities of 280 m³, 500 m³, 800m³, 1100m³, and 1250m³. The steel used in these tanks is treated with magnelis, a zinc alloy coating that reportedly offers triple the longevity of traditional galvanised steel, and is further enhanced with a powder coating for a lasting, maintenance-free exterior. Available in a range of colours, though dark green remains the default choice, these tanks are backed by a ten year warranty, although exclusions for coastal areas exist, and are expected to outlast tanks made from galvanised steel.
Ultiple ports allow an umbilical slurry application system to operate, simultaneously drawing-out slurry whilst recirculating back into the tank
The standard design of these tanks includes a single 6 inch through-the-wall filling/emptying port, with options to customise the number of ports, including 5 inch over-the-wall types. This flexibility facilitates the use of umbilical slurry application systems, enabling simultaneous slurry extraction and recirculation. Ease of installation is a key feature of these tanks, eliminating the need for concrete base construction. A compacted earth base, topped with a geotech membrane and a surrounding ring of concrete slabs – all included with the tank – provides a solid foundation. Tramspread also supplies comprehensive drawings and offers guidance on installation.
To address potential issues of odour and emissions, the tanks can be equipped with a choice of covers: a floating hexa-cover or a fixed cover option.
