Industrial storage for maximum safety and efficiency
Industrial storage demands powerful and reliable materials.
For sectors such as construction, chemicals, petrochemicals, and environmental services, safety, sustainability, and operational reliability are essential. For over 50 years, Polem has been supplying high-quality composite silos and storage tanks that meet the strictest industrial standards.
Powerful composite constructions for industrial applications
Our industrial silos and tanks are made from high-grade composite materials, specially developed for demanding applications. Their strength, chemical resistance, and thermal stability make them ideal for storing aggressive or sensitive substances.
Benefits of Polem composite
- Environmentally conscious - Our composite constructions are sustainable and have a minimal ecological footprint
- User-friendly - Designed for easy installation and operation in various industrial environments
- Easy to clean - Seamless, mirror-smooth interior walls enable efficient cleaning
- Customized solutions - Fully tailored to your specific industrial needs
- Minimal maintenance and long-term use - Lower operating costs and better ROI throughout the lifecycle
The superior flow of Polem silos and tanks
Polem’s silos and tanks are engineered for optimal performance and material flow. Their smooth interiors and durable finish deliver reliable performance, even in aggressive or hygiene-critical environments. Our storage solutions are by default:
- Hygienic and corrosion-resistant
- Resistant to condensation
- Efficient to use, with minimal downtime
Technical benefits for industry
- Superior chemical resistance - Resistant to a wide range of aggressive chemicals
- Thermally insulated outer wall - Prevents temperature fluctuations and condensation
- Suitable for heavy chemical loads - Safe storage of corrosive substances and reactive chemicals
- Temperature stability - Protects products against external temperature fluctuations
- ATEX-certified- Meets all safety requirements for dust explosion hazardous environments
- Corrosion resistant - low risk of structural weakening due to corrosion, even with aggressive substances
Storage of industrial raw materials
The chemical industry has high demands for safe and durable storage. Polem designs silos and tanks for a wide variety of chemical substances, including acids, salts, and other reactive compounds.
Acids:
- Hydrochloric acid - Safe storage without risk of corrosion
- Sulfuric acid- Optimal protection against this aggressive substance
- Formic acid- Maintains product quality without degradation
- Nitric acid - Superior resistance to oxidizing effects
- Citric acid - Perfect storage for food-grade applications
Salts and other chemicals:
- Bromide - Safe storage of these reactive compounds
- Phosphates - Ideal for these commonly used industrial chemicals
- Fluoride salts - Protection against the corrosive properties
- Hypochlorite - Safe storage without product degradation
- Sulfates - Optimal storage conditions for various sulfate compounds
- Chloride - Resistant to the corrosive properties
- Sulfites - Safe storage without risk of product degradation

Industry
Do your products comply with safety standards?
Our products comply with all applicable standards for the chemical industry. We supply material certificates and full traceability. ATEX certification is available for potentially explosive environments.
What about corrosion resistance?
GRP does not corrode like metal. Whereas steel tanks need to be replaced after a few years due to chemical corrosion, our GRP tanks retain their properties throughout their entire service life.
What about corrosion resistance?
Yes, for extra safety, we can supply double-walled tanks with leak detection systems. In the event of damage to the inner wall, no chemicals will be released into the environment.
Can Polem silos and tanks be placed outdoors?
Yes, GRP is weatherproof. UV-resistant, frost- and heat-resistant. No rust, no painting required. The good insulation value (λ = 0.17 W/m·K) prevents condensation.
How do you work with system integrators during project planning?
We work closely with system integrators from the beginning of the project. This includes joint project planning, sharing technical specifications, and regular communication to ensure that silo solutions fit seamlessly within the overall system design.
Do you provide silo installation support in larger integrated systems?
Absolutely. Our technical team can provide support during the installation of silos in larger system integrations. We can also work with your team to ensure that silos function optimally within your infrastructure.
Can you customize silos to integrate seamlessly with our systems?
Yes, we can adapt our silos so that they can be perfectly integrated into your existing systems
Can I have my existing silo or tank modified or expanded?
Yes, we can modify or expand existing silos to meet changing needs.
