XERXES' Multicompartment Tanks
<br />A Superior Choice for Multiple Storage Needs
<br />Whether a customer needs two tanks in one or three
<br />tanks in one, the Xerxes multicompartment fiberglass
<br />underground storage tank offers a superior option for
<br />the storage of more than one product at one site. Each
<br />Xerxes multicompartment tank is customized to meet a
<br />customer's specific needs for underground storage
<br />of multiple products in separate compartments.
<br />The Benefits of a Fiberglass Tank
<br />Since the early 1970s, the advantages of fiberglass
<br />underground tanks have been proven over and over again.
<br />Long used for petroleum storage, fiberglass tanks today
<br />account for an estimated 90 percent of all underground
<br />tank purchases by major oil companies. When choosing a
<br />Xerxes fiberglass tank, a customer receives many benefits:
<br />■ A Xerxes fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tank is
<br />manufactured of high-quality resin and glass.
<br />■ With its unique integral -rib design, a Xerxes tank is
<br />structurally strong.
<br />■ Xerxes tanks can be equipped with a variety of fitting
<br />and accessory options to accommodate specific site
<br />requirements.
<br />■ A Xerxes tank offers protection against both external
<br />and internal corrosion without the need for ongoing
<br />corrosion monitoring.
<br />■ A fiberglass tank is lightweight, thus easier to ship and
<br />easier to install than steel tanks.
<br />■ A Xerxes multicompartment tank for storage of petro-
<br />leum products is backed by a limited 30 -year warranty.
<br />A Popular Choice for Retail Fuel Storage
<br />Xerxes multicompartment tanks have proven to be a popular
<br />choice among retail gasoline marketers and convenience -
<br />store owners. The ability to store two or three grades of fuel
<br />in a minimal amount of space is particularly appealing when
<br />available property is limited and the amount of on-site space
<br />needed for multiple tanks is difficult to obtain. Some
<br />regulatory agencies require a double-wall bulkhead between
<br />certain products, for instance, between diesel and unleaded
<br />fuel. The Xerxes double-wall multicompartment tank comes
<br />standard with a double-wall bulkhead and the single-wall
<br />tank offers a double -wall -bulkhead option.
<br />The Benefits of a Multicompartment Tank
<br />When choosing a UL -listed Xerxes multicompartment
<br />fiberglass tank to store multiple products rather than
<br />using separate tanks, a customer has the potential of
<br />receiving several additional benefits:
<br />■ Shipping one tank rather than two or three tanks
<br />reduces shipping costs.
<br />■ Installing one tank rather than two or three tanks
<br />usually results in a smaller excavation space.
<br />■ Installing one tank may cost less than installing
<br />two or three tanks at one site.
<br />■ Regulatory costs may be reduced if a government
<br />agency charges per -tank permit fees.
<br />■ Insurance costs may be reduced if an insurer charges
<br />per -tank premiums.
<br />A Xerxes multicompartment tank can have one or two end
<br />compartments, which can be either the same size or different sizes.

<br />A Wise Choice for Environmental Safety
<br />Today, more and more regulations are in place to protect
<br />the environment, particularly our groundwater supplies. A
<br />Xerxes multicompartment tank is a superior underground
<br />storage option because it offers protection against both
<br />external and internal corrosion.
<br />No amount of "protective coating" changes the fact that,
<br />unlike fiberglass, steel rusts, and buried steel rusts even
<br />faster because the ground is electrically alive. Adding a
<br />coating and anodes to steel tanks can sometimes delay the
<br />rusting process, but it does not change steel's natural
<br />tendency to rust.
<br />Xerxes fiberglass tanks have the added benefit of protection
<br />against internal corrosion, which has been a factor in the
<br />failure of underground storage tanks due to leaks. Even
<br />properly working external cathodic protection does not
<br />guard against internal corrosion.
<br />Since Xerxes fiberglass tanks require no corrosion
<br />maintainence or EPA -mandated corrosion monitoring,
<br />ongoing maintainence and monitoring expenses are
<br />is
<br />• avoided. The dual -corrosion protection of a Xerxes
<br />fiberglass tank makes a Xerxes tank a safe, cost-effective
<br />and long-term option for storing petroleum products.
<br />The Benefits of a Tank from an Industry Leader
<br />Xerxes was the first to make fiberglass underground
<br />tanks with integrally constructed ribs - dramatically
<br />increasing their robustness - and the first to make a
<br />UL -listed fiberglass underground double-wall storage
<br />tank. At Xerxes, excellence in service is highly valued
<br />along with excellence in product design and manufacturing.
<br />• • This value manifests itself for customers in the ready
<br />availability of Xerxes tanks. Xerxes' seven manufacturing
<br />facilities, strategically located throughout the United
<br />States, provide customers with prompt, economical
<br />delivery and quality service.

<br />The single-wall multicompartment tank comes standard with a single-wall bulkhead, but can be ordered with a double-wall bulkhead.
<br />To create a customized multicompartment tank:
<br />1. Decide what base tank you need - both diameter and capacity.
<br />2. Add one or two end compartments, which can be either the same size or different sizes.
<br />3. For total length of a multicompartment tank, add the length of the base tank plus the length(s) of the end compartment(s).
<br />The end -compartment length represents the length of the end compartment from the outermost point of the base -tank end,
<br />not from the seam where the base tank and the end compartment are joined.
<br />4. For total weight of a multicompartment tank, add the weight of the base tank plus the weight(s) of the end compartment(s).
<br />When ordering a single-wall tank with a double-wall bulkhead, add 170 pounds for 8 -foot -diameter tanks and 250 pounds for 10 -foot -diameter tanks.
<br />5. Consult your Xerxes representative for manway and fitting requirements, and tank pricing.
