All farms, whether livestock or crop focused, have a stock of equipment that is necessary for smooth operations, such as tractors, combines and spreaders. In addition to these, semi-trucks, trailers, and frac tanks for bulk liquid storage are beneficial as well. Save time, money and manpower with the right equipment on your agricultural operation.
Frac tanks serve a multitude of purposes beyond their association with fracking. At Geneva Equipment, we take pride in the versatility of our frac tanks, which find many benefits across various industries. While they are commonly associated with the oil and gas sector, these tanks provide value to farmers, construction companies, and more. In our previous blog post, we explored different liquids a frac tank can hold, and here are a few additional examples of how they are used in the agriculture industry:
Liquid Fertilizer Storage
Purchasing liquid fertilizer in bulk, suitable for filling frac tanks, significantly reduces costs compared to buying smaller quantities. However, conventional vertical tanks designed for liquid fertilizer storage often come with a hefty price tag. Frac tanks offer an excellent alternative, as they can accommodate ample quantities of liquid fertilizer at a more affordable price point.
Manure Storage and Distribution
Surprisingly, if you're a livestock farmer seeking improved manure management solutions, a frac tank can be the ideal tool for the job. These tanks can securely hold substantial volumes of manure, and their adaptability makes them suitable for efficient manure distribution as well. By connecting them to filters, pumps, and valves, frac tanks become invaluable in spreading manure rapidly with the assistance of field tankers, drag hoses, and draglines. This approach not only saves precious time and resources on transportation but also facilitates faster and more efficient manure distribution.
Fuel and Diesel Storage
Frac tanks offer an excellent solution for diesel and fuel storage. When fuel prices are at their lowest, consider purchasing a semi-tanker load and storing it in a 21,000-gallon frac tank. This not only allows you to save between $4,200 and $8,400 by cutting fuel costs by 20 to 40 cents per gallon, but also ensures you have a reliable fuel supply on hand when needed.
Flat-top tanks are particularly well-suited for diesel and fuel storage. By connecting pumps to the tank, you can create a personalized fueling station. Position the tank strategically on your site for quick and convenient refueling of all your equipment, eliminating the need to leave the job site.
Freshwater Storage
Whether you need freshwater for crops or livestock, flat-top frac tanks offer the best storage solution. When choosing a tank, make sure you know what has been previously stored in the tank. Usually used tanks have had oil, wastewater, or chemicals in them. This is especially important to understand if you are storing potable water.
No matter your specific frac tank needs, settling for less is never the answer. As demonstrated, there are countless compelling reasons to either purchase a frac tank.
