| News Silage effluent tanks for the UK farming/agricultural sector Marsh Industries, the leading UK water and wastewater storage tank manufacturer, has announced a new range of silage effluent storage tanks, aptly named the Agri-Silage Tank range, which is specifically designed for the safe storage and handling of silage effluent (also known as silage run-off). he tanks are supplied with a chemically resistant gel-coat that protects the fibres in the laminates and provides excellent water and chemical resistance. This inherent integrity allows Marsh to offer an unrivalled 50 year design life, backed by a 25 year structural guarantee. Available in capacities up to 100,000 litres in Ø2.5m and Ø3m diameters, the tanks are manufactured using GRP (virgin unfilled resin - no ‘fillers’ such as chalk) providing consistent wall thickness ensuring superior structural strength and durability. This also enables the tank to be significantly lighter for on-site T www.farmingmonthly.co.uk handling/positioning and better suited to withstand greater hydrostatic pressures when in use. With a designated Contract Department focused on making life simpler for the customer the hassle is really taken out of the job. Marsh is the only company to benefit from the in house computer design programme Gaia that provides each quote with three tanks with a varying diameter. Marsh Industries also manufactures Sewage Treatment Plants, Septic Tanks, Flood Attenuation Tanks and many more products including Rainwater Harvesters, Pump Chambers, Grease Traps and a new Separator range called Hydroil from the head office based in Northamptonshire and the recently opened factory in Somerset. Just like the Agri-Silage range, all of Marsh’s products are manufactured using 100% GRP. The company is at the forefront of redesigning water and wastewater products. The Marsh range benefits from many unique selling points including; lifting eyes, a keying in lip and feet on all our tanks. These help to create a safer and less complicated installation on site. For areas of the country that suffer from hard ground conditions or a high water table, Marsh Industries can provide a shallow version of the products.
