MS and SS Industrial Storage Tanks: Manufacturing, Supply, Applications and Benefits

Introduction

Industrial storage tanks are essential components in manufacturing plants, processing industries, water treatment facilities, food industries, pharmaceutical units, chemical plants, and infrastructure projects. These tanks are used for storing liquids, chemicals, oils, water, fuels, and process materials safely and efficiently.

Among the most widely used storage solutions are Mild Steel (MS) Tanks and Stainless Steel (SS) Tanks. Both types of tanks offer unique advantages depending on the application, storage requirements, and environmental conditions.

Metrosh Infra Projects Private Limited specializes in the manufacturing and supply of high-quality MS and SS industrial storage tanks designed to meet diverse industrial requirements.

What are MS Tanks?

Mild Steel (MS) Tanks are fabricated using high-strength carbon steel plates and structural components. These tanks are commonly used for storing water, industrial liquids, oils, slurry, and non-corrosive materials.

Common Types of MS Tanks

• Raw Water Storage Tanks
• Fire Water Storage Tanks
• Diesel Storage Tanks
• Oil Storage Tanks
• Process Water Tanks
• ETP and STP Tanks
• Overhead Water Tanks
• Underground Storage Tanks

Advantages of MS Tanks

• Cost-effective storage solution
• High structural strength
• Suitable for large capacities
• Easy fabrication and installation
• Long service life with proper coating
• Customizable dimensions

What are SS Tanks?

Stainless Steel (SS) Tanks are manufactured using corrosion-resistant stainless-steel grades such as SS304 and SS316.

These tanks are widely used in industries where hygiene, corrosion resistance, and product purity are critical.

Common Types of SS Tanks

• Process Tanks
• Mixing Tanks
• Storage Tanks
• Milk Storage Tanks
• Pharmaceutical Tanks
• Chemical Storage Tanks
• Pressure Vessels
• CIP Tanks

Advantages of SS Tanks

• Excellent corrosion resistance
• Hygienic and easy to clean
• Suitable for food-grade applications
• Long operational life
• Low maintenance requirements
• High-temperature resistance

Applications of MS and SS Industrial Tanks

Water Treatment Plants

Used for storing raw water, treated water, and process water.

Chemical Industries

Storage of chemicals, solvents, acids, and industrial liquids.

Food Processing Industry

Storage of edible oils, milk, beverages, and food-grade products.

Pharmaceutical Industry

Manufacturing and storage of pharmaceutical ingredients and purified liquids.

Oil and Gas Industry
