06:49 — New Ladder Page on PolyProcessing.com

A new ladder page has been added to the website under Accessories with FRP and steel ladder drawings, platform options, OSHA safety information, and fall-restraint guidance.

07:29 — Ladder Safety and Platform Design

The team explained that platform ladders typically stop 30 to 36 inches below the manway so operators can inspect or access instrumentation without climbing on top of the tank.

8:32 — Evaluating Whether a Ladder Is Needed

Customers and distributors are encouraged to consider whether regular access to the tank is actually required before adding a ladder to a tank design.

08:59 — Website Blogs and Data Center Market Page

Poly Processing continues to expand website blogs, including a new Data Centers on our market we serve page covering chemical storage tank uses in cooling tower treatment, chilled water systems, and wastewater management. Recent blogs highlight SAFE-Tank advantages, concerns with metallic tank inserts, and the importance of planning building layouts before tank installation or replacement.

10:56 — Large Fittings and Venting Design Criteria

The team discussed challenges with large fittings, especially in fiberglass replacement applications where six-, eight-, or ten-inch inlets can complicate venting requirements.

11:17 — FS-2650 High-Capacity Venting

The FS-2650 lid provides 2,650 CFM of venting through an eight-inch vent built into the manway and is recommended whenever it can be included in a tank design.

12:49 — FS-2650 Installation Options and Buffer Tanks

The FS-2650 vent can be installed as part of a lid or separately on a flat tank area, making it especially important for buffer tanks that must evacuate displaced air quickly.

14:01 — New 3D Automated Drawing Format

Brandon Harper introduced new drafting automation that creates fabrication drawings with isometric views and an additional 270-degree backside view for clearer tank layouts.

15:12 — Initial Drawing Rollout

The new automated drawing format is currently focused on vertical tanks and standard fittings, with IMFO tanks, SAFE-Tanks, and slope-bottom tanks planned for future rollout.

15:37 — Customer Approval and Lead Time Benefits

The enhanced drawings are intended to improve customer clarity, reduce revisions, support faster approvals, and decrease drawing lead times as the automation program expands.
