Water Security: Innovative solutions for effluent water

Expansion of a packaging and manufacturing operation in Gauteng, South Africa, necessitated the installation of effluent water tanks. The company required tanks to house the untreated wastewater following the washing of printed ink logos and company details off recycled paper and cardboard, to be used as raw materials in the production of new product. The SBS® team worked with the client’s engineers to design the most effective effluent water storage system for the site.

Cyclone and corrosion resistant water storage solutions

SBS® is no stranger to the Mozambican Port of Beira having previously worked alongside consulting engineers in a bid to upgrade the water storage capabilities for potable and processing water and for fire protection reservoirs. Situated on the east coast of Africa, Mozambique averages about 1.5 tropical cyclones a year, and although not often higher than Category 2, these typically cause widespread damage.

Harvesting rainwater reduces environmental and economic impact.

Don’t let the cost or lack of municipal water supply cripple the production or profitability of your business operations. CHEP, suppliers of high-quality pallets and containers, contacted SBS® to design a system to harvest and store rainwater at their Cornubia, KZN site. SBS® devised a compact system to accommodate the limited space available leaving CHEP able to keep operations running for two and a half weeks, even if municipal supply is disrupted.

FAQs and Technical Documents

What can be stored in SBS® tanks and liners?
SBS tanks are suited for use in the commercial, municipal, domestic, water conservation and rainwater harvesting, fire and beverage sectors.

Our industrial liners carry an international certification for drinking or potable water and have been used successfully to store saltwater, numerous chemicals, and effluent water.
Advantages of SBS® tanks versus traditional concrete reservoirs.
Quality control: Manufacturing of SBS tank panels is done in a controlled environment in an ISO accredited manufacturing facility, where precision and quality are supervised, tested, and maintained. Reduced external impact on production: Weather and other environmental factors have minimal effect on the production of the tank.

Quick, cost-effective installation: The installation of an SBS tank take a matter of days, rather than weeks or months, saving time and money.

Easy and cost-effective site preparation: SBS tanks require a simple reinforced ring beam for installation. This results in a reduced need for heavy machines for earth moving and reduced cost. The need for access roads is also drastically reduced resulting in savings that can be transferred to other aspects of the water supply scheme. No cracks or leaks: Earth tremors from blasting or the use of heavy machinery, especially mining applications, does not result in cracks or leaks due to the flexibility of the liner and design of the tank structure.

Extended life expectancy: SBS tanks have a 60+ year life expectancy.

Ease of relocation: SBS liquid storage tanks can be relocated in the event of change of usage demand.

Versatility: Specialised liners allow for storage of liquids from water to harsh chemicals, leachate, saltwater, and effluent. The wide range of capacities available offers a one-stop bulk liquid storage solution for a variety of applications.
What if my site and needs are unique – can you help me?
SBS has a fully-fledged in-house engineering team and works with specialist independent engineers too. We can design a solution to fit a limited footprint as our tanks comprise modular panels and can be built to use vertical space. We run our projects from start to finish including design and installation and can access remote sites, even those without road access.
What is the material guarantee?
We offer a 12-month workmanship and material guarantee and a 10-year non-leak warranty on the liner.
What are the installation lead times on an SBS tank?
This varies based on the size of the tank and the client specific needs and site location but is always quicker than a concrete reservoir. Smaller tanks can be installed in one day and the megalitre tanks can take in the region of 18 days on site for installation. Site preparation needs to be completed prior to installation. Commissioning can take place as soon as the installation has been completed.
Are SBS tanks only available in steel silver?
No, we have a wide range of colour options for our tanks, applied via a powder coating technique, and making the tanks suitable for any application. Whether you need the tank to stand out, be branded, or recede into the background, we can assist.
