A frac tank is a large steel tank on a wheeled chassis that a truck can tow into place and set on the ground. The standard size holds about 21,000 gallons, roughly 500 barrels. On a spill or flood it's where recovered oil, oily water, wastewater and contaminated runoff go to sit while the job moves forward, so the vacuum trucks can keep cycling instead of driving every load to a disposal facility.
Different liquids need different tanks. Open-top and closed-top steel tanks cover most oily water. Weir tanks have internal baffles that let solids settle and oil separate, useful before discharge or treatment. Epoxy-lined or stainless tanks hold corrosive liquids, and poly tanks fit smaller volumes and chemical storage.
KDT delivers the tanks, sets them level inside secondary containment, connects manifolds and hose, and labels them for what they hold. When the job is done we coordinate the final pump-out and cleaning, then haul the tanks away.

Questions, answered.
Does KDT provide frac tanks?
Yes. We supply 21,000-gallon steel frac tanks, weir tanks, lined tanks and poly tanks, and we deliver, set, contain and connect them, then pick them up after cleanout.
How much does a frac tank hold?
A standard frac tank holds about 21,000 gallons, which is roughly 500 barrels.
Do frac tanks need secondary containment?
On spill and hazmat sites, almost always. We set tanks inside containment berms so a leak or overfill doesn't create a second spill.
What do you need on site for delivery?
A reasonably level, firm spot the delivery truck can back up to, with room for the tank's footprint and containment. Soft ground may need gravel or ground mats first.
