Pillow tanks are collapsible fabric tanks that resemble a pillow when filled. These type bladder tanks are made by welding or sealing durable fabric around all four sides and adding valves for filling, emptying and pressure relief.
There are a number of benefits to pillow tanks, and many of these are highlighted below:
- Sizes can range from small (25 gallons) to very large (25,000 gallons)
- Storage space is minimized when not in use - empty pillow tanks lay flat and can be rolled or folded to require less storage space than an equivalent rigid tank
- Small storage space also makes pillow tanks more portable, making them ideal for deployment in remote locations
- Pillow tanks can significantly weigh less than many similar sized rigid tanks
- Fabric selection allows tanks to be customized for specific applications (e.g. Fuel Bladders, Potable Water Tanks, Chemical Tanks, Gray Water Storage)
- Liquid stored in pillow tanks is completely enclosed, eliminating contamination or spillage
- Fabrics are durable and long-lasting and can be repaired quickly on-site with a repair kit
- Seam welds are stronger than the fabric itself
- A wide range of valves are available
- Pillow tanks can be made quickly to meet tight deadlines
- Compatible hoses, valves, pumps, and filters can be supplied as needed - per customer specifications
Applications of pillow tanks include, but are not limited to:
- Fuel storage and transport
- Potable water storage and transport
- Rainwater storage
- Remote tank locations
- Auxillary water source for fire fighting
- Livestock water supply
- Irrigation water supply
- Chemical storage and transport
- Pesticide storage and transport
