Mixing Tank

Application

• Photographic laboratories
• pH correction
• Process and industrial plants

A mixing tank contains three internal baffles.  These baffles promote a mixing action between chemicals and water as they pass through the tank to dilute the chemicals sufficiently before being discharged to sewer.

What size tank will my business need?

In general, the capacity needs to be sufficient to retain the waste water for at least one hour for any chemicals present to be sufficiently diluted in the water before being discharged to sewer.

The most common capacity tank is 100 litres for single sink. However, the appropriate size, or capacity, tank will be nominated by your local water authority under your trade waste agreement. You will need to contact your local water authority so they can determine the capacity applicable to your application. To find your local water authority, click here.

Capacity: 100 litres – 2,000 litres

• Above ground: 100 – 2,000 litres
• Below ground: 250 – 2,000 litres
• Larger capacity tanks are available by special order
• Where there are space limitations, an equivalent capacity tank can be custom made to fit the available space

Above Ground Mixing Tank

• Fabricated from PVC and/or 6mm polypropylene (PP) for above ground installations
• Tanks greater than 250 litres are fitted with an external 50x50mm galvanised steel tube support frame for long lasting sturdiness

Below Ground Mixing Tank

• Fabricated from 6mm polypropylene (PP) for below ground installations [these tanks must be surrounded with 100mm thick (minimum) concrete walls and base]
• Fitted with 100mm inlet, outlet and vent plain pipe fittings
• Pipe fittings are fully welded for superior seals
• Fitted with a bracket to hold a cement mortar test block
• Cement mortar test block may be supplied and fitted by a trade waste inspector
• Full height keying strips are provided to ensure the plastic tank walls bind to the poured concrete. The keying strips include holes to install Y12 reinforcing bars.  The reinforcing bars help to provide better binding of the steel reinforcement in the poured concrete
• External 50mm flat rim flange around the top of the tank provides a better binding surface between the interceptor and poured concrete and a level area for the access cover/s
• Access covers, (sold separately) capable of being removed by one man, should be fitted on top for easy access for tank cleaning
