Cost-effectiveness and Safety Features of ISO Tanks
Due to their efficiency, safety, and durability, businesses can save significant amounts of money by using ISO tanks. They are cost-effective because they can carry higher volumes on a single trip, reducing the need for multiple deliveries and making logistics run more smoothly. Businesses can also save time and money on shipping costs per item by using the best cargo room in ISO tanks. This dual benefit helps companies maximize savings and profits and instills confidence in the financial soundness of their investment in ISO tanks.
These tanks must be checked every few years to ensure they are still in their best shape. This is important since they hold flammable substances like acids. The better safety features on these containers can lessen the possibility of lost or damaged products during transportation, saving more money on risk and insurance expenses. With this in mind, ISO tanks are constructed with many additional safety features, including:
- Pressure relief valves to prevent any potential explosions that high pressure might cause.
- It is easy to check on the unit because it has a 500mm (or larger) manhole at the top. A spill box around the opening on top of the tank has a lid and a rubber or PTFE seal. Sometimes, the seal has a PTFE layer on the outside and a nitrile rubber core, which is used when an utterly airtight seal is needed.
- A vapor valve can be used for pressure release. This valve keeps the pressure inside and outside of the tank equal.
- Burst discs are made from metal and designed to burst to allow gas to escape and relieve pressure when it hits a specific pressure limit.
- Mounted thermometers so the temperature of the external shell can be checked
Secure containment and protection of cargo lead to fewer accidents, spills, and contamination incidents, resulting in overall cost savings in risk management. Investing in these containers allows companies to mitigate the financial risks associated with shipping operations.
ISO tanks offer cost savings and contribute to environmental sustainability, making them an attractive option for businesses that prioritize eco-friendly practices. By eliminating the need for single use packing and maximizing cargo space, ISO tanks help companies reduce waste disposal expenses and lower carbon emissions. This aligns with their sustainability goals and promotes a greener shipping industry.
