Effluent Storage Tanks

Sewage and effluent are corrosive, heavily regulated, and unforgiving if something goes wrong. Getting the storage right from the start protects your site, your team, and your compliance record. Franklin Hodge manufactures effluent storage tanks built to handle exactly these conditions, reliably and for the long term. 

Can Sewage and Effluent Be Stored in Franklin Hodge Tanks? 

Yes, sewage and effluent can be effectively stored in Franklin Hodge liquid storage tanks, including our specialised Glass Coated Liquistore® tank, designed specifically for these applications. 

The glass-fused-to steel construction resists the chemical aggression that breaks down standard steel over time. That means your tank stays structurally sound, your site stays protected, and your maintenance costs stay manageable.

Why the Glass Coated Liquistore® Works Where Others Fall Short 

Standard steel tanks aren’t rated for aggressive waste liquids. The Glass Coated Liquistore® is. Built specifically for sewage, effluent, and other corrosive waste streams, with engineering that holds up under sustained exposure: 

• Glass-fused-to steel panels that resist chemical corrosion long term 
• Superior sealing to prevent ground contamination and leaks 
• Modular construction for flexible sizing across different site volumes 
• Fully compliant with UK environmental regulations for waste containment 
• Customisable with GRP, aluminium, stainless steel, or galvanised steel covers, ladders, platforms and pipework 

Industries That Rely on Our Effluent Storage Tanks 

Franklin Hodge tanks are used wherever safe, contained waste liquid storage is a daily operational requirement: 

• Agriculture and farming, for compliant on-site effluent containment 
• Food and beverage production managing process waste streams 
• Manufacturing and industrial plants handling wastewater by-products 
• Chemical processing sites requiring secure containment of hazardous liquids 
• Municipal and waste treatment facilities storing effluent ahead of processing

Frequently Asked Questions 

What type of tank is best for sewage and effluent storage? 

The Glass Coated Liquistore® is purpose-built for sewage and effluent, with glass-fused-to steel construction that resists chemical corrosion and maintains structural integrity over the long term. 

Are Franklin Hodge effluent tanks compliant with UK regulations? 

Yes, all tanks are designed to meet current UK environmental standards for waste liquid containment and site protection. 

Can the tanks be sized for large-volume effluent storage? 

Yes, the modular design allows tanks to be configured for both smaller on-site requirements and large industrial or agricultural volumes. 

Can oil be stored in Franklin Hodge tanks? 

No, Franklin Hodge tanks are not suitable for oil or hydrocarbon storage.
