PVC-Lined Woodstave Tanks for Safe Chemical Storage
Siewert Equipment is proud to offer Canbar PVC-lined woodstave tanks—a reliable, cost-effective solution for storing corrosive and high-purity chemicals. These custom-built, field-erected tanks are designed to meet the rigorous demands of industrial and municipal chemical storage while offering superior corrosion resistance, structural stability, and long service life.
Available throughout Upstate New York, Canbar tanks are trusted in water treatment plants, paper mills, and chemical processing facilities for storing sodium hypochlorite, alum, ferric chloride, and more.
Proven Durability in Harsh Chemical Environments
Canbar tanks combine the structural strength of Douglas fir or redwood staves with the chemical resistance of a fully bonded PVC liner. This dual-material construction allows for chemical containment without the cost or complexity of all-metal or all-plastic tanks.
Each tank is manufactured to precise specifications, assembled on-site by trained professionals, and supported with long-term maintenance recommendations.

What Are PVC-Lined Woodstave Tanks?
PVC-lined woodstave tanks are engineered chemical storage systems consisting of vertical wooden staves (typically Douglas fir or redwood) and an internal PVC liner that provides full containment for corrosive liquids. The PVC liner isolates the chemical contents from the wooden structure, preventing degradation and extending the tank’s life. These tanks offer an economical, field-erected solution for large-volume chemical storage where fiberglass or steel may be cost-prohibitive.

FAQ: Canbar Chemical Storage Tanks
What chemicals can be stored in Canbar PVC-lined tanks?
- Common chemicals include sodium hypochlorite, alum, ferric chloride, polymer solutions, and odor control agents. Liner materials can be customized to match your chemical compatibility needs.
How long do woodstave tanks last?
- With proper installation and maintenance, Canbar tanks can last 20+ years—even in harsh conditions—thanks to the isolated liner and durable wood.
Are these tanks built on-site?
- Yes. Canbar tanks are shipped in sections and field erected by trained professionals at your facility for seamless integration.
Can the liner be repaired or replaced?
- Yes. Liner sections can be accessed and repaired, or the entire liner can be replaced after many years of service if needed.
Is wood a safe material for chemical storage?
- Absolutely—when combined with a robust PVC liner, woodstave tanks provide structural strength and excellent resistance to chemical attack.
How does PVC compare to FRP or HDPE?
- PVC provides excellent chemical resistance at a lower cost. For more aggressive chemicals or higher temperatures, alternative liners like polypropylene or HDPE may be recommended.
Can I install these tanks outdoors?
- Yes. Optional weatherproof coatings and covers allow Canbar tanks to be safely installed outdoors in Upstate NY’s variable climate.
