Also referred to as a collar tank, collar dam or onion bladder tank,
an onion tank is a self supporting, easily relocatable liquid storage
tank made from a variety of fabrics like reinforced PVC. Distinctive by
the central foam filled collar that rises as the tank is filled. Given
the unique way an onion tank is made and filled, they allow for very
quick setup times. Typically 1 or 2 people can have a unit ready to go
in about 5 or 10 mins.
So what can an onion tank be use for? well anywhere that the
temporary storage of liquids is required, and where rapid deployment is
needed. Some of the applications where an onion tank may be used;
- remote site water supply (such as drilling and exploration operations)
- bushfire fighting water tanks in remote locations (particularly as a water station for helicopter water buckets where they are filled from a shallower source)
- temporary water storage that easily fits on the back of a ute or truck when packed (e.g. for swimming pool maintenance)
- temporary farm and rural water tanks that can be shifted as and when required
- spill containment particularly where fast deployment and filling of a tank are critical
Suitable storage capacities range from 1,000 litres to 30,000
litres and are made from scrim reinforced materials, with the ability to
withstand great tensile loads. When properly maintained, an onion tank
will offer a long service life, and are suitable for ongoing use.
