April is a special month for tank manufacturers, as April 24 is World Storage Tank Day. Probably many of you are surprised by the existence of such a holiday. Its purpose is to focus public attention to the special role of tanks in every sector of the economy. The celebration of this day is intended to raise public awareness and provide an excuse to address the important topic of storage. Tanks are used in many economic sectors, from transportation to industry or agriculture. 

This is a day of particular significance for the Polish manufacturer of tanks for water, fuel, AdBlue and UAN, the Swimer company. The company was created exactly on April 24, 2008 by Mr. Lukasz Otremba. The company has already celebrated its 15th anniversary in 2023. The company's headquarters are located in Toruń. Swimer is a manufacturer of the best quality tanks, which is probably known to everyone on the Polish and global markets. The company's reach extends to as many as 30 countries around the world. It is famous for its innovative solutions, which often set new trends in tank production. This is confirmed by satisfied customers who do not spare praise for them. The brand's products are present in a huge number of farms, gas stations and businesses. The manufacturer emphasizes that the products comply with strict quality standards: ISO9001, ISO27001, DIBT certification and CE declaration. Production is supervised by the Office of Technical Inspection (UDT).

We will take this opportunity to try to introduce the range of products to those readers who, for various reasons, have not yet come across this company or are just taking their first steps in the industry. We have been the official distributor of Swimer tanks for several years now. Our offer includes a wide range of products from the Toronto-based company. Year after year, new modern solutions appear, and proven models are improved. Below we present the categories of tanks and the top models in each of them.

Diesel is the most popular fuel, used for machinery in industry and transportation. This is due to the good parameters of diesel engines. They are characterized by relatively low fuel consumption and high torque, which are the most important advantages of diesel engines. The popularity of diesel vehicles is associated with a high demand for fuel. Therefore, investment in a private diesel storage facility is even necessary. Our own tanks allow us to reduce fuel shortages, thus reducing downtime. The advantage is that you can have more control over intake by your employees. It is also possible to purchase a large amount of fuel at a wholesale price. The savings from this on an annual basis can become a large part of the budget.

Stationary diesel tanks from Comfort-Line are the brand's flagship models. The polyethylene tanks have double shells - they are double-walled. This is the best protection in case of a possible leak. According to legal requirements, fuel tanks must be protected against leaks. Special sump trays are installed for this purpose. Double-walled construction does not need to be additionally equipped with a sump tray, since its function is performed by a double wall. It is also worth mentioning the very durable design of the tanks, thanks to which the risk of leakage is really negligible. Polyethylene is a material that is resistant to adverse external conditions. It does not corrode or fade under UV radiation. It is resistant to mechanical damage, will not crack or bulge. Swimer Tank Comfort-Line tanks are characterized by a large - comfortable distribution cabinet, which successfully accommodates equipment and provides good access to the distribution system. The tanks are offered in capacities from 1,500 to even 10,000 liters.

Swimer Tank Eco-Line tanks are an economical line of stationary diesel tanks. This is a more compact version, with a smaller distribution cabinet. The tanks are also made with double-walled technology. The quality of workmanship stands at a very high level, which ensures full safety and comfort of use. The tanks have capacities ranging from 1500 l to 5000 l.

There are also Mobi 5S mobile diesel tanks. These are single-walled containers created for transporting diesel fuel. There is a choice of 200 and 400 liter capacities and they come in two versions of equipment. They are powered by 12 volts directly from the car battery. They prove themselves especially useful for supplying fuel to machinery and vehicles at their place of work. This allows to reduce the period of inactivity of devices and maintain continuity of work. The manufacturer also offers a more advanced version of mobile tanks for demanding customers: Mobi 5S Duo. This is a tank that allows you to transport diesel fuel and AdBlue liquid at once. The total capacity is as much as 450 liters, where 410 is for diesel and 40 liters for AdBlue.

Swimer offers many versions of its tank equipment. From the simplest Basic solutions to advanced Prestige systems. Basic variants have all the necessary components to make the tank a private fuel distribution station. Higher models include many conveniences that improve user comfort. They have more accurate meters, filters, more efficient pumps. However, it is worth noting that any tank model is fully functional and will work properly. The choice depends on the customer's personal preferences and requirements.

AdBlue is a 32.5% water urea solution and is the fluid used in diesel vehicles. It is used to reduce harmful compounds that are produced during the combustion of diesel fuel. The fluid is not directly mixed with fuel, but is an additive to the exhaust gas - it is injected under high pressure into the vehicle's exhaust system.

AdBlue needs proper storage conditions. Both low and high temperatures degrade the properties of this substance. Therefore, storing AdBlue is quite difficult. Tanks must be properly insulated and fully sealed. Demand for the liquid is growing primarily for environmental reasons. New emission standards require users of diesel vehicles to add AdBlue. Significantly, many vehicles have been designed in such a way that the fluid is even necessary for them to operate properly. 

Swimer, due to the growing interest in AdBlue solution, has introduced dedicated tanks. The manufacturer offers single- and double-walled tanks. The top model is the Swimer Blue Tank with a double wall. It is a twin-walled design to the diesel tank. The capacity range starts at 2,500 liters and ends at 10,000 liters. The Swimer Blue Tank also has a spacious distribution cabinet that can successfully accommodate the set's equipment. The second tank model is the Swimer Blue Tank Eco-Line. Similar to the ON version, this is an economical variant of the AdBlue tank. Capacity is selectable from 1,500 l to 5,000 l. The distribution cabinet is much smaller, but also sufficient.

Both models were manufactured in accordance with the standards. The double-walled design protects against possible leakage. In this case, it also provides thermal insulation, which is important when storing AdBlue. A wide range of equipment awaits the customer this time, too. From the simplified Basic version to the Prestige, which contains better accessories. As we mentioned, it is important to maintain the right storage temperature. That's why the customer can also order the Winter/Summer package, which allows AdBlue refueling at extreme temperatures. As standard, the package is included in the Prestige equipment version and consists of:

Heating oil continues to be a popular fuel for powering heating boilers in homes and industrial plants. Investment in your own storage of such fuel is fully justified economically. In this way we prevent possible downtime in the operation of heating. And, importantly, it is possible to order more oil at a wholesale price. Perhaps the most important issue is the safety of storing such fuel. The law talks about the special conditions that need to be provided for the storage of heating oil. Regulations mainly include the minimum distances that must be maintained when planning the location of the tank foundation.

Again, the company offers a solution to the issue of fuel oil storage. The range of products in this category includes single- and double-walled Swimer Heating Oil Tank. The great advantage of these models is that they can be installed both indoors and outdoors. For this reason, their equipment differs. The tanks have all the necessary components needed for convenient distribution of heating oil.

The tanks are fully safe. They are characterized by practicality and convenience of storing heating oil. They are made of polyethylene, which is highly resistant to adverse conditions and mechanical damage. Heating Oil Tank have capacities ranging from 1,500 liters to as much as 10,000 liters. In addition, they can be easily combined with each other, increasing the total storage capacity.

The most important thing for human life is access to drinking water. Shortage of water in a thought or household is especially hard. Storage of this resource is also beneficial from an economic point of view. Thanks to the buffer tanks, it is possible to maintain the continuous operation of various production processes. Drinking water is used primarily in the food and nutrition industry. In addition to this, it should also be remembered that drinking water is an important part of any community's livelihood. 

Swimer offers single-walled tanks for drinking water and process water. They are characterized by the highest quality of materials used. Swimer Water Tank are certified by the National Institute of Hygiene (PZH), which authorizes them to come into contact with drinking water. This makes them safe for human health and life. Polyethylene water tanks are characterized by high resistance to external conditions and mechanical damage. Of course, they do not corrode when exposed to UV. Polyethylene can also be exposed to other chemicals. Water Tank are easy to maintain and clean.

Drinking water tanks are divided into underground and aboveground tanks. The range of products includes capacities from 1 m³ to 22 m³. The manufacturer pays special attention to the location of the tank. Above-ground drinking water tanks should be installed indoors. If this is not possible, suitable storage conditions should be provided outside the building. The foundation site should be shaded, as sunlight and heat negatively affect the water's shelf. Under the influence of these conditions, microorganisms may multiply and water may bloom. In the case of underground tanks, drinking water is protected from direct UV rays by a layer of soil. This is also beneficial because it is stored at the optimal temperature. Underground tanks, of course, require proper installation, which is determined by the manufacturer's guidelines. All recommendations should be followed to ensure that the tank has a long life.

Rainwater has recently become one of the most valued sources of water. Rainwater was even considered a waste and no one realized its potential. It has become important especially in the era of climate change, continuing drought processes and poor water systems. One of the countries affected by water shortages is Poland. It seems that our country can pride itself on a rich river and lake system. Nothing could be further from the truth, and this time appearances are deceiving. In practice, limited rainwater retention in Poland is a serious problem. Only recently have steps been taken toward conscious rainwater management. The nationwide Moja Woda (My Water) subsidy program and local subsidies for rainwater management systems have become popular. As a result, Poles are more likely to invest in environmentally friendly rainwater retention systems. In addition to this, there is a growing public awareness among inhabitants who participate in the small retention development program. Rainwater, thanks to its low pH, is great for gardening, laundry, car washing, as it does not cause scale formation. Therefore, it is completely safe for equipment and hydraulic installation. In addition, of course, it will work well for watering the garden and any green areas.

The widespread concreting of cities is one of the main problems of water shortage. In such an area, water is discharged directly into the sewer system. As a result, there are sudden flooding due to the overloading of the drainage network during rains. In the area of large cities, we observe higher temperatures (urban heat island). Lack of adequate moisture in the air and ground causes gradual desertification. As a result, the quality of life significantly decreases, and it becomes increasingly difficult to stay in the city due to the prevailing conditions. Small-scale retention helps reduce all these negative effects of human activity. In addition to this, the policy of local authorities to seasonally cut grass has been changing in recent years. As many readers may have noticed in their localities, grass is cut much less frequently and is left in its natural form. Wrocław is a case in point. This is not the result of the negligence of local government officials, but an effort to increase rainwater retention and restore the original function of squares and lawns. Tall grass stores moisture better than trimmed grass and is a habitat for many creatures.

Swimer offers several models of polyethylene rainwater tanks. The above-ground tanks are available in three series Eco-line, Comfort-Line and Slim-Line. They differ primarily in equipment and dimensions. It is worth noting that the Slim-Line model is very narrow, which is good for placing them in areas with limited space. They are designed to collect rainwater through a gutter system. A filter basket is then also placed in the tank to catch solids. Above-ground tanks are the ideal solution for those customers who have a farm already built up and do not have the possibility of digging the tank in.

Underground tanks in the offer of the Toruń manufacturer have a very large range of capacities - they are available from 3 m³ to even 30 m³. The choice in this case is also based on the materials used. The line of smaller tanks from 3000 to 6000 l is made of polyethylene, the advantages of which we have already mentioned. Larger tanks are manufactured from polyester-glass laminate (LA). SWIMER WATER TANK Horizontal-Line LA tanks can be installed in the area of vehicle traffic (load up to 12 kN/m²). 

All tanks can be equipped with pumps, which will be responsible for distributing rainwater for garden work and watering or washing the car. Thus, you can build your own fully automatic rainwater management system. This practice has a positive effect on reducing the cost of taking water from the network. Rainwater tanks are dedicated to both households and production halls in urban and rural areas. The selection of capacity is primarily related to the area of the roof. The calculations should take into account the average rainfall in the area and the water demand for the farm.

Modern agriculture depends largely on fertilizers. Among the most widely used are liquid UAN fertilizers, or urea nitrate solution. They are currently produced in three nitrogen concentrations 28% N, 30% N and 32% N. Liquid fertilizer is a raw material to which three ensure proper storage conditions. The main problem is crystallization of the solution at negative temperatures. In addition, the fertilizer has highly corrosive properties, so the best solution is a polyethylene tank. A storage tank for UAN is an ideal solution for any farm. It allows you to purchase fertilizer in wholesale quantities at a reduced price. In addition, it reduces possible production downtime that could result from periodic shortages.

The manufacturer offers Swimer Agro Tank single- and double-walled tanks with capacities from 1.5 m³ to 22 m³. The most important criterion in choosing a tank is definitely capacity. You pay a fixed amount for transportation in a tanker at one time, so it is worth choosing a capacity that will allow you to receive 100% of the raw material. Given the standard size of a fertilizer delivery tanker, the most popular capacities are 20 m3 and 22 m3. The manufacturer offers tanks for UAN made of the highest quality materials. Polyethylene is great for storing liquid fertilizers, as it shows resistance to chemicals and to mechanical damage. This is a guarantee of long-lasting operation of the set. Tanks for UAN as standard have equipment that allows easy collection and distribution of fertilizer. Of course, the manufacturer also offers optional equipment that improves the comfort of the set.

In addition to the tanks mentioned in the previous paragraphs, the manufacturer offers various types of equipment. There are pumps for rainwater and other substances, flow meters, filling lines, fill level indicators and other components included in the distribution system. Among the most advanced indicators is the Lipremos system, which is used for precise determination of liquid levels. It is designed for any type of polyethylene tanks, such as diesel, fuel oil, AdBlue and UAN fertilizer. Lipremos provides tank liquid control, alarms, reports and communicates remotely. It offers models with hydrostatic and ultrasonic probes. A subscription must be purchased to use the equipment.

Swimer also offers its version of a remote management, access and identification system for fuel tanks. Entrepreneurs with many employees face the problem of controlling fuel consumption. For larger companies, this poses a major challenge. It is virtually impossible to control the issuance of fuel to specific drivers and control the amount taken without a management system. In order to prevent irregularities and abuse, you can equip your warehouse with an SMDP system (Liquid Dispensing Monitoring System). With it, fuel intake is possible only for pre-registered users and vehicles. The device saves detailed data for each fueling. Management is done via a PC program. The system can identify drivers in various ways, for example, with: RFID cards or lozenges, or a PIN code. The device can be ordered in several versions, which differ primarily in data recording capabilities and remote notifications via e.g. e-mail and sms. Models in the basic version support one tank with one liquid. As you can guess, more advanced variants can handle multiple tanks with several types of contents and identify multiple users.

In fact, Swimer offers almost all variants of storage and distribution tanks for the most popular raw materials. In the offer you will find virtually everything you need to build your own fuel, AdBlue, UAN, or water storage. By buying from this manufacturer, we support the Polish economy in addition.
