Metal water tanks: versatile and ready for any need

Discover how our metal water tanks serve diverse markets worldwide, ensuring a steady water supply wherever and whenever it is needed

Around the globe, our metal water tanks store millions and millions of liters of water. For well-known applications like irrigation water in greenhouses and nurseries, but also for many other applications. For different compositions of water, for different scale operations, in various environments, climates, countries and markets. The beauty of our water storage tanks is: you can use them basically wherever water needs to be stored. Whether it is at a chicken farm in Zimbabwe or a state-of-the-art greenhouse in China, our tanks make fresh water available. Water whenever and wherever you need it!

In this blog, we will take you through some of the applications and markets where our water storage tanks are used. We make water available worldwide, not only for the challenges of today but also for those of tomorrow!

Water feeds the world, so many of our water tanks are used for storing fresh and high quality irrigation water in horticulture. In greenhouses, at nurseries and in fruit cultivation. A steady and reliable supply of high quality water is essential at all scales of horticultural operations. It is vital for healthy crop development and maximising yields. Metal water tanks are nowadays the number one choice for water storage systems in horticulture. This makes horticulture one of the most important sectors where our tanks are used.

Also in agriculture is water the availability of water is of utmost importance. At (dairy) farms it is used for cooling, cleaning and as drinkwater for livestock. In arable farming applications include the irrigation of cultivations and cleaning. As around 70% of global groundwater withdrawals, and even more in arid and semi-arid regions, are used in the agricultural productions (source: Unesco), many of our water tanks worldwide serve in agricultural settings. We expect this number will continue to rise, observing the increasing water scarcity and drought across the globe. Find out more about our water tanks for agriculture.

Aquaculture, including fish farming, is more and more practiced in closed and (semi) controlled systems. In our steel water tanks breeding of tilapia, shrimps, catfish, sturgeon, algae, crabs, carps, eel, pangasius, trout and salmon takes place all over the world. Our water tanks are suitable for every facility and for every type of culture and that makes them very popular for every type of aquacultural operation. We have listed the benefits of fish farming in steel water tanks, read about them here.

Many NPI water tanks are used in industries worldwide as storage systems for wastewater or process water. Think of water treatment and the agrifood sector, such as dairy and meat processing plants, as well as canning, production and preservation facilities for oil, vegetables, beverages, fish, starch and more. Many companies with a manufacturing process will have wastewater and process water from its processes. Metal water tanks can store any water that is at play in an operation, and they can store any capacity of water. We manufacture our water tanks in a wide range of capacities and diameters, so they will suit any size production facility. Read more about water tanks for process water.

NPI water tanks are also used for firefighting. These tanks serve an important task in both natural areas and industrial sites where quick access to water is needed in case of fire. They help protect forests, buildings and communities. Our water tanks allow customers to equip them with various components to enhance their suitability for fire protection use. The use of NPI tanks for firefighting purposes is becoming more and more frequent, as drought worldwide intensifies and the importance of safety regulations increases.

Municipal water storage is essential for providing clean water to communities and ensuring reliable water supply for public services. NPI water tanks store both potable and non-potable water. Sometimes the water is collected through rainwater harvesting systems, such as from roofs. It is then used for non-potable purposes in domestic or public facilities for purposes as cleaning, flushing toilets or landscaping. With easy installation and minimal maintenance, they ensure that communities have a steady and safe water supply when they need it most. Below, we have highlighted a few projects where we have supplied tanks for municipal use.

Our water storage tanks serve most frequently the above listed markets and applications. However, they have found their way into many more applications worldwide. Our metal tanks also store:

As you see, some of the applications are unique and unexpected, which clearly shows the versatility and adaptability of our tanks. Could your next project benefit from a reliable water storage solution?
