How are fertilizer stock tanks specified?
Stock-tank specification covers volume per channel, material compatibility with acids and concentrated salts, separation of incompatible stocks (notably calcium from sulphates and phosphates), agitation, level sensing, bunding and safe filling access. Under-sized tanks force daily mixing labour that operations rarely sustain.
Where this sits in fertigation equipment procurement
Fertigation equipment covers injection (venturi, dosing pump or dosing unit), stock tanks, EC/pH control and the dosing channels needed for the crop recipe — the channel count and injection accuracy required drive most of the cost difference between offers.
Typical procurement searches this answers: fertigation equipment · fertigation system for greenhouse · dosing unit vs venturi injector · EC pH control fertigation
Inputs that change the answer
- Daily nutrient mass per channel
- Concentration factor
- Refill interval targeted
- Chemical compatibility and safety rules
What this answer does not settle
Chemical handling and bunding must comply with local safety regulation.
