| 18,000 bbl | 105 ft | 15,356 bbl | 644,952 gal |
| 9,000 bbl | 73 ft | 7,547 bbl | 316,974 gal |
| 4,500 bbl | 52 ft | 3,852 bbl | 164,748 gal |
Quick Setup
Delivered and erected in 1 to 4 days, on average. Tele-handler attachments improve speed and safety on location.
Simplified Operations
Improved operational efficiency and safety by reducing the number of valves and connection points.
Reusable & Cost Effective
Designed for easy assembly, mob, de-mob and liner retention clips can be removed for a quick installation process. Lower cost and simpler logistics when compared to smaller enclosed tanks.
A Better Alternative
Replaces traditional pit construction, monitoring, reclamation, and tank farms (labor, hoses, and valves)
Real Applications. Real Results.
Lithium Extraction
Our standard ASTs were utilized at the end stage of pilot plant operations to store spent brine. This allowed for the customer to conduct sampling and testing for the first year of their project while awaiting BLM approval to send this brine to their rapid infiltration basins (RIBs). Our ASTs went through a rigorous BLM approval process prior to rigging up and were ultimately approved.
Food & Beverage Facilities
We have successfully stored wastewater from a chip manufacturing facility in Cincinnati OH as well as a meat processing facility in Moberly MO. Again, standard ASTs were brought in to capture, store, and aerate/treat wastewater during internal facility upgrades to their wastewater treatment processes.
Solar Facilties
ASTs utilized to store water from maintenance and panel washing activities. At the time, the customer’s in ground pits were full as a reduction in the number allowed on location had been required. We were able to hold this water, help with evaporation, and slow the flow of water to their on site filtration system during facility upgrades.
Data Center Construction
Large sites require dust mitigation and suppression early on. Large volumes of water are utilized during excavation activity as well. Our tanks allow for these larger volumes to be available on site and accessible to their trucks via custom manifolding. Tanks to later be used for mechanical system flushes.
Storage Evaluation & Tank Construction
Select Water provides trusted containment solutions to help customers in many industries conserve water and minimize the environmental impact of operations. From large interconnected infrastructure to remote water access points—we understand the spectrum storage challenges
Our teams execute tank construction using strict SOPs and safety protocols, including pre-job hazard assessments, lift planning, and confined space considerations where applicable. Each installation follows defined sequence for base preparation, liner placement, panel assembly. We account for site grading and environmental conditions for long-term durability.
This disciplined approach verifies ASTs are installed safely, efficiently, and in full compliance with operational and environmental standards.
Tank Liners
Our high-quality liners provide superior performance when exposed to various fluids, chemicals and UV rays. Each is installed over a geotextile underlayment to prevent ground extrusions from damaging the liner.
Drain Systems
The utilization of an in ground drain system has multiple benefits. Select’s drains allow for improved efficiencies when emptying the tank, better access for manifolding, and can provide head pressure to pumps for increased flow rates depending on the configuration. These drains are compatible with both the single wall and nested tank systems.
Tank Automation
Through AquaView®, Select Water offers a suite of services to efficiently monitor and control water assets at various stages of customer operations with real-time wireless technology. Monitoring capabilities allow Select to respond immediately resulting in reduced costs, improved safety, and uninterrupted operations. Automated pumps, manifolds, and proportioning systems respond to operator specifications and changing conditions in real-time.
Nested Tanks
In environmentally sensitive conditions, Select Water’s custom nested tank helps reduce the risk of spill and associated clean up and soil testing expenses by combining the structural integrity and reliability of two tanks. These can be erected within 2 to 4 days on average and are available in every tank size up to 82,000 bbls.
Harpoon Tanks
Designed to offer the greatest volume to footprint fluid storage capacity on the market, expanding the possible applications for mobile storage solutions. Current configurations allow 15,000 bbls of usable storage within a 55’ diameter. Tank height increases the hydrostatic pressure in the tank manifold allowing 140 bbl min flow rates and reducing pump requirements.
