Stainless steel storage tanks
Stainless steel tanks from 500 litres to 15,000 m3
Stainless steel tanks in all sorts of sizes
Gpi produces storage tanks in different sizes for all kinds of applications and industries imaginable. This range spans high-quality finished 500-litre vessels for pharmaceutical end products to 15,000 m3 tanks for drinking water or the storage of semi-finished products in the chemical industry.
Stainless steel tanks for storing high-quality products
Gpi manufactures stainless steel storage tanks ranging from 500 litres to 15,000 m³. Depending on the destination, we can build the tanks in our factory in Lopik or Groot-Ammers, or construct them on location. Our Lopik facility produces high-grade tanks up to a diameter of 6 meters, allowing us to quickly reach most locations by road.

Types of storage tanks
Oil tank
The right oil storage tank is essential for the storage of oils and fats. Oils are the basis of many products, both for food and cosmetics and for the pharmaceutical or chemical industries. We produce stainless steel oil storage tanks in any size you require.
Milk tank
Stainless steel milk tanks come in many shapes and sizes: from storage tanks for raw milk to cheese milk and VLOG milk. For each stainless steel milk tank, we can make specific designs for the right processing. Read more about the possibilities for agitators, crystalliation, insulation, etc., below. There are also endless possibilities for storage tanks for other types of dairy.
Silo
In addition to our liquid storage tanks, we also manufacture stainless steel silos for dry storage across a variety of industries. Silos are essential for storing food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic products, as well as animal feed, building materials, plastics, and other chemical products.
Often designed as stainless steel conical tanks, each silo requires a customised design tailored to specific needs. We handle the entire silo construction process — from bespoke design by our in-house engineers to construction and transport. Our experienced silo builders ensure top-quality solutions, such as pellet storage silos.
Beer tank
For the storage and production of beer, we build both storage tanks and process tanks. For example, a bright beer tank is a stainless steel beer tank for the storage of filtered beer.
Are you looking for a stainless steel conical tank, such as a fermentation tank? Read more about bright beer tanks (bbt) and cylindrical conical tanks for fermentation (cct) on our page about beer tanks.
Water storage tank
We have produced a variety of water storage tanks. They range from hygienic designs for demineralised water to tanks for contaminated wastewater from chemical plants. Our tanks adhere to strict guidelines for soil-hazardous liquids, flammable substances, and other hazardous materials.
Other storage tanks
We produce tanks for all industries — we can customise them for any application.
Specifications/ additions for storage tanks
Each application requires specific specifications and additions. For hygienic designs, we consider appropriate connections and agitators, and we can add cleaning equipment. Tops and bottoms can be conical, flat, sloping, open, convex, etc.
We also supply double-walled tanks with insulation, advising on the best type of jacket and insulation.
Our tank designs account for:
- Minimum and maximum design pressure
- Liquid tightness
- Temperature extremes
- Correct placement of connections and manhole hatches
- External design loads
- Agitator loads
- Impact of liquid movement
- Platform stability
Standards for stainless steel tanks
Specific standards, laws, or regulations often apply to storage tanks.
PGS 29, NEN-EN14015, Eurocode 3, API 650, DIN 4119
If a PGS 29 regime applies to your installation in the Netherlands (the guideline for above-ground storage of flammable fluids), your tanks usually have to comply with NEN-EN14015 in combination with Eurocode 3.
Please note: PGS29 recently changed. Gpi can guide you on how this affects you.
Other standards that Gpi often applies to storage tanks are API 650 and DIN 4119. Naturally, we can also be of assistance if PGS30 or PGS31 apply to your installation.
PED pressure vessels, according to NEN-EN13445
Lloyds audited and accredited Gpi to independently design and manufacture pressure tanks over 0.5 bar (H + H1 certified). Projects involving PED installations will involve close collaboration between our project engineers, clients, and QA/QC employees to perform a risk analysis and set up a test & inspection plan.
KIWA BRL-K756 storage tanks
Gpi is BRL-K756-2-certified by KIWA for constructing vertical single-walled and double-walled storage tanks up to 150,000 m³, complying with BRL-K903/08 standards for chemical storage facilities.
This is just a selection of our options. If your building code or regulation is not listed here, then contact Gpi.
