Description

Stainless Steel Mineral and Chemical Dosing Tanks (500 Liters to 10,000 Liters)

Key Features and Benefits

• Material of construction – Contact surfaces in AISI 304 or 316/316L stainless steel resist corrosion from concentrated mineral solutions, acids, alkalis, polymers and many industrial chemicals. 316L is preferred for more aggressive or chloride-containing media.
• Agitation options – Top-mounted low- or high-speed mixers keep heavy minerals or powders in suspension and prevent settling, ensuring uniform concentration at the dosing pump suction.
• Process connections – Dedicated suction ports for dosing pumps, drain valves, level indicators (tube, magnetic or float) and optional overflow or calibration columns allow straightforward integration into automated dosing systems.
• Drainable design – Flat, sloped or conical bottoms with large-radius corners promote complete drainage and reduce residue build-up.
• Access and safety – Hinged or bolted lids, manways and vent provisions support safe filling, inspection and vapour management.
• Surface finish – Internal polishing or electropolishing (where specified) improves cleanability and reduces scaling or contamination risk.
• Local fabrication advantage – Manufactured in Kenya by Raydan Stainless Steel Fabricators with parts availability and after-sales support, these stainless steel mineral and chemical dosing tanks reduce lead times and simplify servicing compared with fully imported units.

Applications and Use Cases

Stainless steel mineral and chemical dosing tanks are used for:

• Water and wastewater treatment – dosing of chlorine, alum, polymers, anti-scalants, coagulants, pH adjusters and corrosion inhibitors.
• RO and desalination plants – post-treatment remineralisation with calcium, magnesium or other minerals to restore taste and balance.
• Food and beverage processing – accurate dosing of food-grade acids, flavourings, preservatives, nutrients or CIP chemicals.
• Industrial chemical processes – storage and controlled injection of acids, alkalis, solvents or process additives.
• Agriculture and hydroponics – dosing of liquid fertilisers, mineral nutrients and pH-balancing chemicals.
• CIP and utility systems – preparation and metering of cleaning and sanitising solutions.

Who Is This Product For?

These tanks suit water-treatment operators, industrial process plants, food and beverage manufacturers, chemical processors and any facility that requires reliable, corrosion-resistant storage and metering of concentrated solutions. They are particularly practical for companies in Kenya and East Africa that value local fabrication, installation support and ready availability of spare parts.

They may not be the first choice for extremely high-pressure reactions or chemicals that require exotic alloys beyond 316L; such applications are evaluated case by case.

Important Buying Considerations

• Match capacity to daily chemical consumption, required reserve days and freeboard for agitation or foaming.
• Confirm material grade against the specific chemical, concentration and temperature. 304 suits many general duties; 316/316L is preferred for stronger acids, chlorides or higher-purity needs.
• Decide whether continuous agitation is required to keep solids or dense minerals in suspension.
• Specify dosing-pump mounting points, level sensors and calibration features early.
• Check site space, foundation requirements and integration with existing metering pumps or control systems.
• Factor in local support, warranty and parts availability when comparing total cost of ownership.

Installation and Maintenance

Raydan offers free installation and commissioning where applicable. Typical site needs include a level foundation capable of supporting the filled tank, suitable electrical supply if an agitator is fitted, and clear access for filling, inspection and pump connections. Countrywide delivery across Kenya is standard, with shipping to selected major towns in Tanzania, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi.

Routine care centres on inspecting seals, agitator components and level instruments, verifying chemical compatibility of any new media, and following safe draining and cleaning procedures. Because the tanks are fabricated locally, replacement parts and technical assistance remain readily available.

FAQs

1. What is a stainless steel mineral and chemical dosing tank used for?
   It is used to store, mix and precisely meter minerals, chemicals or additives into a process line, commonly in water treatment, RO remineralisation, food processing and industrial chemical dosing.
2. What capacity range is available?
   Standard offerings cover 500 litres to 10,000 litres; custom sizes can be discussed.
3. Should I choose 304 or 316/316L stainless steel?
   304 is suitable for many general chemical and mineral solutions. 316 or 316L provides better resistance to chlorides, stronger acids and more aggressive media.
4. Do these tanks include agitators?
   Agitators are optional and recommended when solids or dense minerals must remain suspended for accurate dosing.
5. Are the tanks compatible with dosing pumps?
   Designs include suction ports and mounting provisions for common metering pumps.
6. Is installation included?
   Free installation and commissioning are offered where applicable. Countrywide delivery across Kenya is standard, with shipping to selected East African towns.
7. What warranty and after-sales support are provided?
   A one-year warranty is included. After-sales service and parts availability are provided by the local fabrication team.
