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