Introduction of liquid bag storage

Under severe environmental conditions such as disaster relief and drought, people increasingly need a relatively safe and economical liquid storage container. In this article, we'll cover flexitank storage, also known as truck-mounted flexitank shipping. Fluid bag storage is a relatively new and effective way of storing liquids.

What is a liquid bag?

Flexitank is a soft storage container for bulk materials such as liquids. Depending on the specific gravity of the liquid, they generally have a capacity between 50L and 26 tons. Flexitanks have their own advantages over other types of liquid storage tanks, such as rigid plastic or steel tanks. First, they offer better capacity and weigh less than other storage tanks available. Plus, when they're emptied, they can be folded away to take up little space. Also, they are safe for the environment and the liquids they store.

The characteristics of the liquid bag

The variety of technical fabrics available for the manufacture of flexitanks results in a wide variety of different flexitank categories and sizes. Some flexitanks are temporarily used (such as container flexitanks), while others can hold a liquid for several years at a time, or can be used repeatedly (such as pvc soft water bladders, tpu oil bladders, etc.).

The use of liquid bag

1. Fuel storage

Flexitanks can be used to store liquid fuels such as gasoline, diesel and petroleum. In general, flexitanks are most commonly used by the military or civilians for fuel storage. Rapid access to fuel may be required in emergencies, so flexitanks may be used in field hospitals, emergency airports, or natural disaster relief sites.

2. Drinking water storage

Flexitanks are used in a variety of disaster relief and emergency operations around the world. In the ready state, the flexitank takes up minimal space and can be easily transported to the site for use. Besides fuel, potable water is another fluid that must be readily available. For example, field hospitals, emergency airports, and natural disasters all require potable water storage.

3. Food grade liquid storage

Flexitanks are able to safely and efficiently store food-grade liquid ingredients such as various types of oil, milk, juice, wine, fructose syrup, and more.

4. Storage of Industrial Chemicals

Flexitank is an ideal container for transporting and storing industrial liquid chemicals. These include liquid detergents, lubricants, fertilizers, liquid latex and paints, among others.

5. Disposable and temporary storage

In some applications, liquid storage is only needed temporarily, making purchasing a steel or composite rigid tank not worth the investment. This typically occurs in industrial use or in the event of a sudden drought where liquid storage needs may fluctuate. In this case, the use of flexitanks can reduce overall storage costs. In addition, flexitanks can also be used to transport liquids as they can be packed inside the shipping container for more efficient transport of liquids.
