An Acid tanker is one that is used for transporting different kinds of acids such as: sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, hydrofluoric acid, Nitric acid and Acetic acid among others as used for different industrial applications.
Acids have different chemical and physical properties. In that case, different acids need different materials for the construction of their specific tanker.However, it is not a must to have a different type of tanker for each of the various kinds of acids.
We will show you some kinds of tankers that can transport most kinds of acids.
1.The dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid tanker is made of a multilayered structure, with the outer part made of either stainless steel or an aluminum alloy.
In most cases, stainless steel has been the main structural material used for these types of tanks. Steel is prone to just a few products that are mostly acids.
However, stainless steel is resistant against dilute sulfuric acid and dilute hydrochloric acid. For this reason, these acid tanks made of stainless steel cannot be corroded.

2.The Nitric acid, Acetic acid tank is purely made of Aluminum without an inner lining material. Nitric acid, Acetic acid Aluminum tank is an ideal container for nitric acid,
because it has an oxide film on its surface, which has a passivation effect that prevents reaction that would lead to corrosion. Additionally, it is economical to use due to its light weight and cost implications.

3.The dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid tanker is a multilayered structure. The outer structure is made of stainless steel or in some cases an aluminum alloy.
The inside part of the tank is made of Polyethylene lining. Though made through different processes, both the outer shell and the inner PE liner become part of the complete acid tank trailer.

It is unlikely that steel would contaminate products and if it does, only a few like high quality caustic soda. Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon hence it is prone to attack by rust,
which is a chemical compound of the iron component known as iron oxide. Rust would cause many problems of contamination of these acids if steel was used to make the structure.
Owing to this fact and among other reasons, it is unlikely that steel could be used in the construction of chemical tankers of this nature.
To prevent further corrosion, the inner part of the tanker is made of Polyethylene lining. This protects the inner part from environmental reactions due to the surrounding air that may lead to corrosion.
For this application, Linear Low-Density Polyethylene or High-Density Polyethylene is used to make the inner parts of the dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid tanker inner.
Polyethylene fits this application because it is a material that is cannot be corroded by dilute sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid.
As a means of transporting dangerous goods, fuel tanker trailer often has many large-scale events. TITAN tanker trailer adopt advanced design concept. We can customized the tankers for you according to your request. To fabric the most durable tankers, especially for Africa Market, considering the road condition. This distortion resistance, earthquake resistance and bump, make your transport safety, also beneficial.
Inspection work before driving
1. The vehicle braking, lighting, and turn signal safety systems meet the operating requirements, the tire specifications are qualified, the wear is normal, and the retreaded tires are not used.
2. Safety devices such as vehicle marking lights, signs, reflective signs, side rear protective devices, and fire extinguishers are well configured, and satellite positioning devices are working properly.
3. The acid tanker trailer number plate is installed intact, the safety inspection signs and insurance signs are placed correctly, the driving license, road transportation license, and road transportation permit for highly toxic chemicals are complete and valid and can be carried with the vehicle.
4. The emergency cut-off device for the transportation of liquid hazardous chemicals tankers is in good condition and is in a closed state.
Safe driving
1. Maintain a reasonable driving distance from the vehicle in front, and increase the separation distance in case of rain, fog, snow and other bad weather.
2. It is not allowed to change lanes arbitrarily while driving. Highway traffic must be driven in the specified lanes.Drivers should keep their attention. They should stop and rest every 2 hours or so, and check the technical status of the vehicle in time to ensure that the emergency shut-off valve is closed.
3. Choose a reasonable driving route with good traffic conditions, stay away from towns and residential areas, and do not enter the prohibited areas of dangerous goods transport vehicles. Vehicles transporting highly toxic chemicals must be driven according to the time and route approved by the public security organs, and may not be changed at will.
4. Maintain a safe driving speed. In any case, the driving speed should not exceed 80km / h. At night, under low visibility conditions such as rain, fog, snow and snow, you must drive at a reduced speed.
Regular inspection of safety equipment
Equipment that meets technical specifications and safety requirements must be used. The automatic control, remote control, measuring instruments, valves and other equipment of the oil delivery station must be regularly inspected and calibrated, and related management systems should be formulated, especially the material of the oil delivery equipment cannot be underestimated.
It is strictly forbidden to use non-conductive polyethylene hoses as oil pipelines for oil delivery crane pipes, and it is strictly forbidden to use plastic containers when handling oil products. The above are the most basic safety common sense.
