High-Dro® Tanks were developed by Highland Tank to satisfy an ever-increasing need for the safe and sanitary storage of water. High-Dro® Tanks are atmospheric storage tanks designed specifically for storage of potable water, fire protection water, wastewater and rainwater. Available in prefabricated volumes from 300 to 70,000 gallons, High-Dro® welded steel tanks satisfy most water and wastewater storage applications. They are manufactured for a wide range of municipal, commercial, institutional and industrial applications including: Institutional facilities, schools, hospitals, prisons, hotels, resorts, casinos, apartment complexes, rural housing developments, campgrounds & farms. Constructed of coated carbon steel or stainless steel, rugged and reliable High-Dro® Tanks are inherently resistant to most environmental threats as well as corrosion. High-Dro® water tanks can be installed aboveground or underground. Some additional features of our steel water storage tanks include: Safe hygienic water storage, unaffected by ultra violet or light penetration, rugged and simple design, transportable to remote locations, reduced project lead time from inception to completion. High-Dro® Tanks are manufactured to stringent standards. High-Dro® Tanks used for storage of clean water are typically of single-wall construction complying with recognized national water tank codes

With our High-LINK® applications you will have the power to optimize the usage and transfer of all your liquid operations. Learn more here.
Thermal Energy Storage systems are engineered process tanks or vessels that add heat or remove heat from a storage medium such as water. These tanks are a key element in delaying the effects of cooling failure due to power loss or catastrophic failure. TES provides a low cost from of storage that can be either a pressurized ASME vessel or atmospheric UL-142 storage tank. The most common chilled water TES tank is a cylindrical, vertical pressurized water storage vessel. Environmental benefits include reduction of source energy use, decreased refrigerant charge, and improved efficiency of the energy supply. Because Highland Tank’s TES tanks are made of steel, non-corrosive PVC diffusers, and minimal, if any VOC coatings, life cycle costs are at a minimum.

ASME buffer tanks help improve temperature control, and provide a more consistent operation for non-potable closed systems. Chilled water buffer tanks are designed for chilled water systems with insufficient water volume capacity related to the chiller capacity. A hot water buffer tank are designed for systems that incorporate boilers. Buffer tanks help minimize cycling while providing buffer to the system’s volume.

Hot water tanks are used in commercial buildings, institutional facilities, and assorted industries that require a constant supply of hot water. Water is usually heated and stored in this ASME vessel during periods of low demand, providing an adequate supply of hot water during periods of maximum demand.
Chilled water tanks are used with large HVAC installations to allow for fewer cycles of the compressor and better temperature control. Chilled water is used to cool and dehumidify air in commercial, industrial, and institutional facilities. A properly sized chilled water tank adds the necessary volume to “buffer” the cooling system and allows it to operate at peak efficiency. When applied to contemporary chilled thermal storage technology, CWT allow the user to time shift the electrical load of the system from the peak day periods to off peak night time periods.

Air receiver tanks are used in compressed air systems to store compressed air and permit pressure to be equalized in the system. These vessels are sized to supplement the air compressor operation – typically one gallon of storage for each Actual Cubic Feet per Minute (ACFM) for the rated compressor output.

Boiler blowdown is water taken from a boiler at points where concentrations of impurities in the water are high. Highland Tank’s boiler blow-down tanks are used to control the blowdown to minimize dissolved solids and contaminants, reduce scaling in the boiler, and prevent boiler failure. They also enable high-pressure water to safely flash to steam.

A knockout drum is a vapor/liquid separator used to separate a vapor and liquid mixture. These tanks are widely used at natural gas processing plants, oil refineries, gas pipelines, compressor systems, power plants, and other industrial sites.
A flare knockout drum may be necessary during gas drilling, production, or processing to remove any oil and water from relieved gases. Natural gas found in oil fields often cannot be transported and needs to be burnt. A flare stack protects the pressure vessel and piping from over-pressuring. Flare knockout drums can also be used to gasify heavy fuel oils to produce cleaner energy.

A surge tank is installed on large pipelines to relieve excess pressure caused by water hammer and to neutralize sudden changes of pressure in the flow by filling when pressure increases and emptying when pressure drops. These are typically vertical tanks connected to a pipeline.

A slug catcher is a unit that collects large quantities of gas or liquid that exists in the pipeline. These slugs can overload the gas/liquid handling capacity of the plant especially during times where large volumes of liquid that collect in the pipeline are pushed through in a short time. Slug catchers help protect equipment and pipelines downstream from damaging liquids.
