The Total Energy Advantage
TOTAL ENERGY TANKS
-
Total Energy’s quoted prices are fixed and not subject to any surcharges.
-
10-year warranty on all ASME tanks in the US & Canada: Total Energy will repair any defects or replace the tank at our expense.
-
Total Energy tanks are in stock, ready to meet your construction schedule.
-
Older tanks were built with a superior standard, having been engineered and constructed with a safety factor of 4 to 1.
-
Since Total Energy does not need to move our tanks immediately, any delays in the end user's permitting or construction timeframe can be easily accommodated.
-
Total Energy is capable of delivering up to six 90,000 gallon tanks and smaller at a time
-
Purchasing directly from Total Energy will mean no contractor mark-up. Most tanks and process vessels are sold directly to end users.
VS
NEW TANKS
-
Sales contracts for new ASME tanks contain a clause referencing potential additional surcharges tied to the cost of steel commodity prices due to the volatility of the steel market. These surcharges can be significant.
-
One year warranty.
-
Delivery time for new tanks is dependent on a production schedule and subject to production delays and material shortages. If additional tanks are ordered later, their prices and delivery times would be subject to a new contract and new production schedules. Current fabrication time for a new tank can be 6-12 months, not including any potential delays.
-
New tanks are manufactured to the current ASME Code safety factor of only 3.5 to 1.
-
Once produced, newly ordered tanks must be delivered and cannot be stored at the manufacturer's location without incurring additional costs.
-
Typically, new tanks are delivered 2 at a time, and not back to back resulting in additional costs and scheduling uncertainties for the end user.
-
A typical contractor mark-up for new tanks is 10 – 20% on the purchase of new tanks and components.
