In anaerobic digester tank applications, Tank Connection’s RTP (rolled, tapered panel) bolted tank design coated with LIQ Fusion 7000 FBE™ is unmatched in performance compared to other bolted tank designs. If field-weld tank construction is preferred, Tank Connection and our affiliate company ATEC Steel lead the industry in API 650 tank construction.

Tank Connection Affiliate Group are the only storage tank manufacturers worldwide that design, manufacture and install all types of steel storage tanks used in anaerobic digester applications, including bolted RTP (rolled, tapered panel), field-weld, shop-weld and hybrid tank construction.

At Tank Connection, we manufacturer the #1 bolted liquid storage tank available in the world! And we support this claim with customer testimonies and facts, not rhetoric.

You can rely on us to address the factors that should be addressed in digester applications including vapor zone considerations, operating temperature, applicable design configurations, corrosion considerations, pH/acidic levels, operating environment, materials of construction, applicable codes, thermal expansion, chemical resistance and appropriate design standards.

In anaerobic applications, the important area inside the storage tank is the vapor zone area. This is the area where competitor tank designs fail. Tank Connection is recognized in the marketplace as experts in specialized storage tank designs and field construction services. In review, there are numerous digester designs offered in the marketplace today.
