What’s a flexible tank ?
The flexible tank is the alternative to the rigid one. It meets the same needs, but with far fewer constraints:
- Its installation does not require a building permit,
- which allows a simple and quick installation: for example, the installation of a 500m3 storage tank takes less than 4 hours.
- It is mobile: it can be moved easily
- A more economical solution: up to 70% less expensive than a rigid solution
- It fits much better in the landscape
- It is easy to clean and maintain: the life span of flexible tanks is about 10-15 years or more
- Guaranteed capacity: the stored liquid cannot be contaminated by external elements or evaporate.
In short, the flexible tank is the economical, practical and reliable solution for storing all your liquids.
We have a wide range of tanks, allowing us to meet all your needs, whether for:
- Water storage: rainwater recovery, drinking water reserve,…
- Agricultural storage: liquid fertilizer tank, effluent tank,…
- Industrial storage: maintenance on water network, chemical effluents,…
- Civil protection: fire flexible tank,…
- Hydrocarbon storage: field storage, fuel storage on site, temporary storage…
The manufacturing of a flexible tank
Once we have finalized the definition of the pillow tank (accessories, dimensions, functions, etc.), we can begin to manufacture it.
All our tanks are made from a technical fabric composed of a textile reinforcement coated with elastomer or plastomer depending on the application. The choice of material is made according to the liquid stored in the tank. In accordance with our CSR policy, all our material suppliers are located in the European Community.
Depending on the fabric and materials used, the price of the pillow tank will change.
The assembly is carried out by our employees with a knowledge of more than 60 years for the high frequency welding of the plastomer tanks and the confection of the elastomer tanks before their vulcanization.
Storage capacities
We offer a wide range of standard tanks with a storage capacity from 1 to 1200 m3. The prices of these tanks are already determined and take into account the basic accessories: 4 corner reinforcements, 1 central vent, 1 repair kit etc…
In order to satisfy you, we can also design custom-made flexible tanks. In this case, the price will be determined according to your request.
Price of the installation of a flexible tank
Our service team will come to you (anywhere in the world) to install the tank (or any other product). Alternatively, you can simply request installation assistance, which will be less expensive. This service is added to the price of the tank.
The quality of the tanks
With 100% European raw materials and manufacturing, we offer quality flexible tanks with a 10-year guarantee (see our guarantees).
As a reminder, we are certified ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001.
PRONAL flexible tanks prices decrease
This year is marked by the increase in the price of raw materials following the Russo-Ukrainian conflict.
However, always listening to our customers, we have re-optimized the design of our pillow tanks in order to be able to offer a price even more adjusted to our customers’ projects:
We have worked on two different axes:
- First of all we have increased the height of the tank (large capacity): before it could not exceed 1m50 but today we have increased it to 1m60. As a result, we now offer smaller tanks that can hold the same capacity, i.e. we now offer smaller tanks with larger capacities.
- Then, we have reworked the way we make our flexible tanks by optimizing the width of the tanks in relation to the width of the fabric. This allows a real saving of time because there is much less material to make. But also a saving of material. Indeed, less cutting means less material waste [also a small plus for our planet 🙂 ] . Resulting then, a reduction of the tank cost.
Thanks to all these improvements we have been able to pass on this gain to our customers by optimizing our prices without impacting the quality and efficiency of our products!
Conclusion
Pronal has been innovating for over 60 years by optimizing capacity in relation to floor space. Internally with our employees as well as externally with our customers, we take into account the crises we are going through.
Every day we try to improve and innovate by offering new solutions or improving old ones.
Our goal: to make our customers benefit from our improvements.
