Why choose a Xerxes tank? <br /> During the last three decades,Xerxes has gained a worldwide reputation as a leader in underground storage tank technology. <br /> Since its inception in 1979, Xerxes has steadily grown from a tank manufacturer with a small market share to its role today <br /> as the market leader. This recognition can be attributed to the many experienced Xerxes employees who strive to not only <br /> meet but to exceed our customers' requirements. Equally significant is the quality of the tanks and related products that we <br /> manufacture. <br /> Underground storage tanks are not commodity products. Xerxes storage tanks offer customers a number of unique <br /> and significant design and performance differences superior to both competitive fiberglass tanks and steel tanks. <br /> Consider the following: <br /> Rib Design — Circumferential ribs are an important <br /> design element of any fiberglass underground vessel. <br /> Therefore, the rib geometry and how it's incorporated <br /> into the cylinder,or tank itself,is an important consideration <br /> for designers and customers as they compare products. In <br /> the Xerxes design, with its consistent, high-profile rib <br /> structure, ribs are fabricated directly into the tank <br /> cylinder—not as a secondary step in the process.This <br /> increases the overall strength of the tank and results <br /> in a structurally superior product. <br /> x�l" Parabeam®Construction—As part of our history of continuous improvement, <br /> Xerxes introduced Parabeam, a etar ro and unique proprietary three-dimensional <br /> q p PY <br /> f. <br /> glass fabric, into its underground tank design. Parabeam enhances overall <br /> F structural integrity by creating a bond between the primary and secondary <br /> cylinder walls, while providing a free-flowing interstitial space for monitoring <br /> capabilities. Another important benefit is the elimination of false alarms <br /> created by fluctuating reservoir levels that can be a recurring problem in other <br /> manufacturers' hydrostatically monitored tanks. <br /> Maintenance-Free— Many manufacturers of steel tanks have reduced their warranty duration from 30 years to 10 years, <br /> and have incorporated language that requires ongoing maintenance and removal of water bottoms as a condition of <br /> warranty coverage. The presence of water in the bottom of fuel tanks is a common condition. Maintenance to frequently <br /> remove it can be expensive over both the short-term and long-term life of a tank, and can also leave an owner vulnerable <br /> to denied warranty claims should a steel tank corrode internally. Xerxes offers a 30-year limited warranty with no restrictions <br /> regarding water-bottom monitoring and removal. <br /> Company Stability—Over the last 30 years,tank manufacturers have gone out of business or filed for bankruptcy and no <br /> longer provide warranty coverage. Customers who purchase underground tanks do so with the expectation that their tank <br /> will provide many years of trouble-free service, and that the manufacturer will be around to suppport its products and its <br /> warranties. Xerxes has a three-decade record of doing just that. <br /> 4 ZCL Composites Inc. • Xerxes Corporation <br />
