Sometimes, it’s ab...

Sometimes the best solution is to take an existing tank, give it some attention,and create a new purpose for something that has already delivered years of service.That’s exactly what’s happening with this tank.At around 20 years old, this tank has certainly earned its place in the industry. Rather than simply writing it off because it is no longer suited to its original application, the BTM team is taking a different approach; ...

While custom stainless steel tanks are certainly at the heart of our business, the reality is that our capabilities extend far beyond vessel manufacturing.At BTM, we don't just build tanks; we manufacture, fabricate and install almost anything in stainless steel.One project for Bayer Agro highlights the breadth of our expertise and the skill of our fabrication team. The project involved the desig...

Capacity, finish, fittings and performance are all important considerations. But there's one component that often gets overlooked despite playing a critical role in both appearance and durability - the tank legs.At Brisbane Tank Manufacturing we believe every great looking tank deserves great looking legs. That's why we manufacture our tank supports from high quality 316 stainless steel, providing strength, ...

It’s fascinating stuff!What a Sewerage Plant Tank Needs to DoDesigning and manufacturing tanks for sewerage treatment isn’t just about size, it’s also about performance under pressure.Here’s what goes into a tank like this:1.
