FAQ

• 01

  Is it possible to install a modular tank in confined spaces?

  Modular tanks are ideally suited for installations where space is limited—such as near other buildings or within existing structures. Specialized assembly equipment allows the tank to be built from the bottom up using an incremental method, minimizing the space required for installation.

• 02

  What ensures the airtightness and leak-proofing of modular tanks?

  In modular tank design, the external steel shell serves only as a protective barrier. Complete airtightness and guaranteed absence of leaks are provided by the internal reinforced polymer liner. The liner is selected individually based on the stored product: one type of membrane for fire and technical water tanks, and a different one for potable water tanks.

  What types of products can be stored in modular tanks?

  Modular tanks can store any liquid products except petroleum-based products. Tanks with bolted connections can also store non-explosive bulk materials. Our internal polymer liner has even passed testing with diesel fuel; however, Russian GOST standards and regulations require that petroleum products be stored only in welded tanks.

  How reliable is the modular tank construction?

  The bolted modular tank design is just as strong as traditional welded tanks. Our engineers perform strength calculations considering snow, wind, and seismic loads, following the same standards applied to welded tanks. Additionally, the modular tanks feature an internal liner made of reinforced polymer material, which, like the tank wall, serves as a protective barrier for the stored product.

  What measuring instruments are used in modular tanks?

  Fire-Drop modular tanks are equipped with programmable controllers featuring digital displays, paired with hydrostatic level sensors. This configuration allows for precise programming of water levels and enables the controller to send signals to pumps and shut-off valves as needed. For fire protection tanks, maintaining a constant water volume is critical. Our system makes this task significantly easier compared to other manufacturers: the display shows all key data -tank fill level, water temperature, and the status of heating elements.

  Can modular tanks be used for drinking water?

  Modular tanks can indeed be used for drinking water storage. Drinking water tanks differ slightly in design from fire protection tanks, primarily in their internal lining, which must be suitable for potable water.
  The Fire-Drop drinking water tanks feature a construction that eliminates any metal surfaces inside the tank, thereby preventing the formation of impurities from metal over time.
