Ethanol Storage Tanks
Beginning as a field fabricator over 30 years ago, SFI has constructed over 1,000 stainless steel tanks on-site at customer facilities. With this kind of experience, we have been able to grow our knowledge base to include the needs and preferences of the ethanol industry and many others.
The tanks that SFI builds for the ethanol industry are typically field fabricated and range in capacity from 25,000 up to 750,000 gallons. We have the experience necessary to design and build what you need, meeting standards such as API 620, API 650, UL-142, and ASME.
