The Importance of Custom Storage Tanks in Optimizing Industrial Operations
In industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment, the need for efficient, durable, and reliable storage solutions is more critical than ever. Off-the-shelf options often fall short when it comes to meeting the unique demands of each operation. That’s where custom storage tanks come into play.
At KBK Industries, we specialize in designing and manufacturing custom fiberglass and steel tanks tailored to specific industry applications. From increased corrosion resistance to precise capacity and configuration requirements, our custom tanks are built to solve problems and increase operational efficiency.

Tailored Solutions for Demanding Environments
Generic storage tanks may work in low-demand environments, but when you’re dealing with aggressive chemicals, extreme temperatures, or strict regulatory compliance, a customized solution is not just preferable—it’s essential.
KBK’s custom fiberglass tanks offer exceptional corrosion resistance, making them ideal for applications involving acidic or caustic fluids, such as wastewater treatment and industrial effluent storage. For heavy-duty needs like petroleum and oil storage, steel tanks offer unmatched structural strength.
Each tank we manufacture is engineered to meet the specific capacity, pressure rating, and material compatibility your operation requires—eliminating guesswork and enhancing safety and performance.
Industry Applications: From Oilfields to Water Treatment Plants
KBK’s custom tanks are trusted across multiple sectors:
- Oil & Gas: Our fiberglass tanks are widely used in upstream operations for saltwater disposal, oil-water separation, and chemical storage. Custom design ensures resistance to hydrogen sulfide (H2S), hydrocarbons, and harsh field conditions.
- Wastewater Treatment: Municipal and industrial wastewater systems benefit from tanks designed for high-capacity sludge storage, chemical dosing, and bio-reactor containment.
- Chemical Processing: Custom internal linings and fittings allow safe containment and transfer of highly reactive or hazardous chemicals.
By providing tanks tailored to your site’s exact needs, KBK helps minimize downtime, reduce maintenance, and extend equipment life—all key to optimizing operations.
Long-Term Cost Savings
While custom tanks may carry a higher upfront cost than standard models, the total cost of ownership is significantly lower. Our designs consider not just your immediate needs but also future expansion, integration with other systems, and long-term durability.
Benefits include:
- Fewer repairs and replacements due to superior material selection
- Reduced risk of contamination or spillage
- Compliance with EPA, OSHA, and other industry-specific regulations
- Lower insurance and liability costs due to increased safety
This proactive approach to storage tank design is an investment in your operation’s future.
