News You Can Use – December 2025
Your Monthly Brief from Poly Processing
Welcome to this month’s News You Can Use!
Our December edition is packed with quick updates, distributor tips, and end-of-year insights from the Poly Processing team.
🎧 Listen to the full podcast on Podbean
News You Can Use: Heaviest SAFE-Tank, Leasing & Warranty Plays, Quote Booster, Tools, and 2025 Training
1) Product Spotlight: Our Heaviest Tank Set
- Product: 10,500 SAFE-Tank
- Weight at 1.9 SG: ~10,000 lbs (as listed on the website)
- Weight at 2.2 SG: ~12,200 lbs (full set)
Important handling note:
- At 2.2 SG, the set weight can exceed the working load limits of many common crane straps and off-loading rigging.
- Action: If your order specifies heavy SAFE-Tanks, confirm all lift/rigging gear is rated appropriately and brief the off-loading team.
Need guidance on rigging or handling? Contact your frontline representative. Poly Processing strongly recommends using a licensed and experienced construction rigger to offload and set the tanks safely.
2) Customer Financing: Leasing Options You Can Offer
Many customers prefer to expense tanks monthly instead of using capital budgets. Consider partnering with an equipment leasing company (local or national) to package tanks into a monthly payment.
How it works:
- Distributor is paid upfront; Poly Processing is paid as usual.
- Leasing company bills the customer monthly.
- Position it similar to “bundled” chemical contracts that include tanks/pumps within a monthly price.
Benefits:
- Removes capital hurdles
- Simplifies approvals
- Helps win competitive deals
3) Extended Service Plans: Keep the Margin, Meet the Need
Our warranty:
- Industry-leading 5-year full replacement (not prorated)
Some customers ask for 7–10 years of coverage. Poly Processing does not extend beyond the current warranty; however, distributors may sell an extended service plan.
How to structure it:
- Price against a conservative “worst-case” scenario in years 6–10
- Consider help from Poly Processing on replacements at cost in rare cases
- Validate installation practices—installer responsibility can apply
- Most manufacturer defects present within the first few years
Pro tips:
- Consult an attorney to draft your plan terms
- Keep it simple and clear: coverage window, what’s included/excluded, claim process
- Treat the premium as additional profit in most outcomes
4) Quote Booster: Win When You’re Being Shopped
Use the Quote Booster in P3 to transform quotes into a mini-submittal with:
- Linked drawings and CAD files
- Tables/specs
- Photos and fittings
- Bullet-pointed value differentiation
How to get it:
- Ask your frontline/account person: “Please Quote Boost this quote”
- You’ll receive a Word version you can edit, reuse, and brand
- Watch the video on Quote Booster here
Download a sample Quote Booster quote for reference.
When to use:
- Competitive situations
- New accounts
- Procurement-led evaluations
5) Track Orders Instantly: Poly Order Check
- URL: polyordercheck.com
- What it does: Self-serve status on your orders—ETA, ship timing, and more
- Tips:
- Bookmark it with your account number
- You can share with your customer for transparency
- Read the FAQs on the landing page for quick setup
6) Monday.com: Your Live Project Board
Some distributors use it actively; others haven’t onboarded yet. monday.com provides:
- Visibility into drawing approvals
- Purchase order status
- Sales opportunities shared by your Regional Manager
- Early access to drafting drawings (often before they’re formally sent)
Need access?
- Contact your Regional Manager for username/password setup
7) 2025 Field Service Training — Winchester, VA
We’re hosting a focused, hands-on Field Service Training in Winchester in early 2025 (targeting February).
Who should attend:
- Your field service technicians
- Anyone you want “factory trained” to work on Poly Processing tanks
Help us tailor the agenda:

📰 News You Can Use – November 2025
Your Monthly Brief from Poly Processing
Welcome to this month’s News You Can Use!
Our November edition is packed with quick updates, distributor tips, and end-of-year insights from the Poly Processing team.
🎧 Listen to the full podcast on Podbean — and jump to the time markers noted below for in-depth discussions straight from our experts.
🏭 Production & Mold Updates
🎧 Start at 00:00–00:38
New molds are now running in French Camp:
- 6600 Vertical IMFO Mold – Featuring a new dome design and expanded flat/runway surface area.
👉 Updated drawings are available now on polyprocessing.com.
- 6900 Slope-Bottom IMFO Mold – Back in service after repairs. You’ll find it under Slope Bottom Tanks on our site.
💡 Tune in at 00:33 for quick mold insights from Marshall.
🔢 Serial Number Flexibility
🎧 Listen at 00:38–01:42
Our serial number process has evolved!
Instead of molding it into the wall, we now stamp serial numbers — allowing for custom placement (e.g., eye-level marking).
- Ideal for large tank farms and improved record keeping.
- You can even request stenciled serials for easier identification.
📚 Learn more: Search “Serial Number” on our blog for a detailed breakdown.
🎧 Podcast Download Tips
🎧 Tune in 01:45–02:51
Want to listen offline?
You can now download all P3 podcasts directly from our Podbean site.
Perfect for:

💻 Pro tip: On the Podbean page, hit Ctrl+F and search for any keyword (e.g., heat trace, seismic) to find every episode where that topic appears. If you know you heard discussion on some previous podcast - this is how you find that episode!
📱 Tech Corner: iOS 26 Tools
🎧 Listen at 02:53–03:57
New iOS 26 feature alert:

This feature enables one-on-one collaboration without a Zoom meeting.
🔧 Android users: try third-party tools like Mirroring 360 or Android Cast for similar functionality.
💡 Field Team End-of-Year Tips
🎧 Start at 04:02
Our outside sales and field service pros share their best insights for closing the year strong:
🚧 1. Turnkey Tank Installations
🎧 Bert Venner – 04:13–05:13
Did you know Poly Processing offers full-service tank installations?
Submit a Tank Install RFQ via the Send dropdown on P3 to get contractor support and a complete turnkey project.
📍 Recent installs:
- 12 tanks in New York City
- 3 tanks in Virginia
Lock in more sales by bundling install services!
🔁 2. Reconnect with Old Customers
🎧 Craig Roberts – 05:16–06:22
When leads slow down:
- Review old POs and offer free tank inspections
- Engage chemical suppliers — they often lead you back to potential tank users
Stay proactive: replacements are often required every few years.
🧾 3. Finalize Pending Orders
🎧 Chris Shepherd – 06:47–07:16
Year-end success starts with clean order flow.
Ensure:
- Drawings are approved
- Delays are flagged early
- PO's move to “Release to Manufacturing” quickly
Goal: Ship every possible order before year-end!
⚖️ 4. Selling Against FRP (Fiberglass)
🎧 Bob Molitsky – 07:23–08:16
For tanks up to 10,000 gallons, Poly tanks hold both engineering and pricing advantages over FRP.
Between 10K–15K gallons, lean on technical merits — reach out to your Regional Manager to position the sale effectively.
🧰 5. Field Insights: Venting & Flexible Connections
🎧 Dan Comp – 08:19–09:29
- Watch for misaligned connections — don’t rely on expansion joints to correct them.
- Use the F.S.2650 vent as your go-to solution for larger tanks.
- Consider adding an extra access port for fill-rate pressure testing.
This ensures safe venting and optimal fill efficiency.
📘 6. Empowering End Users with Smart Tools
🎧 Tony Grijalva – 09:54–10:46
Share the Smart Fit Guide with your end users — available under Fittings & Accessories on our website.
It helps customers plan their own layouts for fittings and orientations, saving you setup time.
🎯 Wrap-Up
🎧 Listen at 10:51–end
That’s it for November’s News You Can Use!
Next month marks our final episode of the year — let’s finish strong and keep those orders rolling in.
🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from the Poly Processing Team!

PPC News You Can Use — October 2025
From your Poly Processing Team —
(Approx. 11 minutes. Listen for full context at each timestamp.)
🚀 The 10,500 Safe Tank — Now Live!
[Timestamp: 00:00:17–00:00:29]
Our new 10,500 Safe Tank is fully up and running and now listed on our website and P3 under News.
You’ll find:
- 2D drawings
- Photos and literature
- NEW: 3D STP files now available for download (see 06:44)
👉 Engineers can easily integrate the model into their designs — check it out on P3.
🔩 New Low Torque EPDM/Teflon Gasket
[Timestamp: 00:00:31–00:00:55]
We’re introducing a low-torque gasket designed with a Teflon-bonded EPDM and double convex O-ring.
- Creates a better seal with 75% less bolt torque
- Ideal for applications needing reduced stress or faster assembly
🍱 Lunch & Learns — Think Beyond Engineers
[Timestamp: 00:01:08–00:01:48]
Bob shared a great tip: host lunch and learns not just for engineering firms, but for design-build and CMAR contractors.
They’re heavily influencing design decisions. Cover:
- Warranty and field support
- Ease of installation and service
- Comfort and trust in the Poly Processing brand
The more they know us, the more they’ll specify us.
🌎 WEFTEC 2025 Recap & the “Cone Bottom Killer”
[Timestamp: 00:01:56–00:03:24]
Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth in Chicago!
Our 4100 slope-bottom tank was the star of the show — a real “cone bottom killer.”
- Only ~20% of cone bottom applications truly need a cone vs our IMFO, a better choice.
- The sloped bottom tank saves space, eliminates stand maintenance, and increases volume
📍 Also discussed at 02:57: The IMFO base can double as a stand replacement for smaller day tanks — a big cost saver.
🧰 Field Service Certifications — Get Your Team Factory Certified
[Timestamp: 00:03:32–00:04:44]
We’re expanding our factory certification program for your service technicians.
If your team installs or services tanks:
- Nominate your top hands-on employees
- We’ll train them directly or through a “train-the-trainer” model
- Certified techs will have credentials on file and may be offered field opportunities
📧 Contact your Regional Manager to submit names to Dan Comp for inclusion.
⚗️ New Field Service Document — Scrubber Solution Guidelines
[Timestamp: 00:04:50–00:05:47]
A new guideline document is now available in the P3 Forum:
“Changing Out Your Scrubber Solution”
It outlines when and how to replace saturated scrubber solutions, and safe handling after change-out.
You’ll find links in this newsletter and under News on P3.
💡 At 06:05, consider adding a small amount of caustic to scrubber water for improved effectiveness—contact your Regional Manager for recommended ratios.
🧴 Creative Safe Tank Applications — Open-Top Configurations
[Timestamp: 00:07:00–00:08:55]
We’re now offering the Safe Tank Outer Tank as an open-top tank and lid combo.
- Works like a “mushroom” lid that drops in place
- Great for applications requiring easy media access or removable top covers
- Budget pricing available on P3 (select outer tank only)
Perfect for installations needing durable, reinforced open-top tanks.
🔄 Mixing & Agitation Systems — Blog & Updates
[Timestamp: 00:09:00–00:10:29]
Our latest blog post covers three types of mixing systems:
- Mechanical Mixers (motor + impeller)
- Large Bubble Mixing Systems
- Pump Recirculation
For gentle mixing (like magnesium hydroxide), we now offer bubble mixer systems through our partners.
Work through your Regional Manager to quote or bundle with tanks.
💡 At 10:34, Bob reminds everyone:
“Always request mixer bridges and brackets — it helps secure full tank packages".
When mixer bridge "provided by manufacturer"- only PPC can do it, less cost, better integration, and simplified!
🏁 Wrapping Up
[Timestamp: 11:20]
That’s it for October’s News You Can Use!
Thanks to everyone who engaged with us at WEFTEC and continues to push the Poly Processing brand forward.

🛡 Competing with FRP Tanks? Know This.
When competing with fiberglass (FRP) tanks:
✅ Make sure you're comparing against RTP-1 certified fiberglass tanks.
This ensures their craftsmanship and quality level match our rotationally molded consistency.
🔧 PRODUCT EDUCATION SPOTLIGHT
🔩 Eye Nuts – Avoid Bolt Size Confusion
Eye nuts are included in wind/seismic restraint kits, but confusion often arises over bolt sizing.
- What’s stamped on the eye nut (e.g., 7/8”) = Bail size, NOT bolt size. (The term "bail size" on an eye nut refers to the inside diameter or width of the eyelet opening, which is the circular loop at the top of the nut.)
- Correct bolt = 1/8” larger than stamped bail (e.g., use a 1” bolt for a 7/8” bail).
- 📎 Contractors must provide their own anchor bolts.
- 📄 Specs are in the installation data sheet.
- 📸 Find photos on P3 → Media → Installed Photos → Search: Eye Nut
🧰 Spool Fittings – Understand the Two Types
There are two categories of spool fittings:
- 6” and Under (Made In-House)
- Components: Two flanges + pipe
- Not welded or gusseted
- Standard projection: ~6.5”
- Easily trimmed for custom fit
- 8” and Larger (Vendor-Fabricated)
- Welded, gusseted, and pre-assembled
- Standard projection: ~12–13”
- Custom projections available upon request (adds time & quote steps)
✅ All standard projections are listed on the drafting drawings.
📌 For non-standard dimensions, communicate needs early to avoid delays.
🛠 FIELD SERVICE INSIGHTS
With Ashley Hay, Field Service Coordinator
⚠️ Common Issues from the Field
- Tank Cracks from Rigid Connections
❌ Most cracks result from lack of flexible connectionsat the lower third sidewall fittings.
✅ Always use expansion jointsor flexible connectors as shown in the IOM Manual. - Venting Mistakes Still Happen
🚫 Issues from:
- Undersized main vent lines for multiple tanks
- Long runs with too many bends or screens at terminations
- Lack of communication about fill method (gravity vs pneumatic)
✅ Each tank should ideally have its own dedicated vent.
💡 Use: polyprocessing.com/venting
- Safe-Tank Transition Fitting Install Issues
- Two-part install process:
- Video 1 – Tank placement & alignment (crane required)
- Video 2 – Final install steps (after crane leaves)
- 📍 Found at: polyprocessing.com/safetankinstall
- 🔧 Keep the alignment sleeve in place until the tank is permanently set.

Sunday Jun 01, 2025
The Poly Processing Podcast, "News You Can Use," offers a concise 10-15 minute audio recap of the latest updates, resources, and factory news tailored specifically for our distributor partners. Tune in while you're driving, working out, or waiting in line - it's designed to keep you informed and save you time.
🔧 PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: EPDM Expansion Joints – A Cost-Saving Alternative
Many customers continue specifying the standard Teflon® flex joints — and while those are dependable — they might be overlooking a major cost-saving opportunity.
The EPDM Expansion Joint is compatible in many applications and is a less expensive alternative.
- Use Case: Best when paired with a transition fitting.
- Savings: Up to $500–$700 per installation compared to Teflon joints.
- Availability: Listed in PolyQuote under “Bellows EPDM.”
🟩 Pro Tip: For non-chemical applications where EPDM compatibility is suitable, suggest this upgrade to maximize value.
🛢️ KNOW YOUR TANKS: Molded-in Pocket Fittings on SAFE-Tank® Systems
A frequent question from the field: Which SAFE-Tanks come with molded-in pocket fittings? Good news — we’ve added a dedicated column with a PF in the header on the SAFE-Tank product page on PolyProcessing.com.
Here's what you’ll find:
- A downloadable PDF showing each tank’s pocket fitting availability.
- Pocket fitting counts and locations (some tanks offer up to 4).
- Only one pocket fitting per tank allowed due to stress control.
🟩 Reseller Tip: For SAFE-Tanks under 2,500 gallons, recommend molded-in pockets as a smart installation option — but caution customers against using fittings on opposing sides.
📡 NEW FEATURE: Swiveling Radar Fitting
Radar sensors are gaining popularity. To meet this demand, we now offer a swiveling radar fitting that allows users to adjust the sensor’s aim.
What this means for your customers:
- Improved installation flexibility on tank domes.
- Enhanced accuracy in level monitoring.
- Seamless integration into quotes (ask for “swivel radar fitting”).
🟩 Why it Matters: This small accessory can prevent costly installation errors and improve radar sensor performance.
🚨 COMING SOON: 10,500-Gallon SAFE-Tank®
We’re excited to announce a new addition to the SAFE-Tank lineup: the 10,500-gallon SAFE-Tank, shipping starting September 2025 from our Monroe, LA plant.
Details:
- Drawings and specs now available online at www.polyprocessingpartner.com.
- Early demand is high — encourage your clients to place orders ASAP.
- Pricing is available in PolyQuote.
🟩 Sales Strategy: Offer this double wall tank as a solution for bulk users looking to reduce frequent chemical refills and site delivery costs.
🔥 HEAT MAINTENANCE SYSTEMS: What Sets Ours Apart
We spoke with Scott Brenneman of HTD — our long-time heat panel supplier — for insights on how our heat maintenance systems stand out from the competition.
Key Differentiators for Resellers:
- Parallel Circuit Design
Unlike series-based systems, ours use multi-path parallel heating elements. If one path fails, heat continues uninterrupted — a major reliability advantage. - Digital Controls
The standard 2XTC controller offers:- Process temp. display (default: 60°F).
- High/low alarms (default: 100°F / 40°F).
- LED indicators for alarms and heater status.
- Alarm relays connectable to SCADA or DCS systems.
- 4–20 mA output for remote monitoring.
- Adjustable Parameters
Alarms and deadband (default 2°F) are user-adjustable — great for field tuning. - QR Code Access
Every controller includes a QR code to the full operating manual and recommended settings. - Current Monitoring Alarm
Disabled by default but can detect heater failure or connection loss when configured correctly.
Power Requirements:
- Default: 120V
- Optional: 240V configurations
- Amp draw depends on heater quantity (1–6 pads typically)
- NEC-compliant: Requires equipment-level ground fault protection (30 mA) — not personnel protection (5 mA)

🟩 Talking Point: Highlight that our heat panel systems are not just effective — they’re engineered for resilience, control, and smart integration.
