There are a number of factors to think about when deciding which storage tank you should purchase but none are more important than safety. Keeping your employees safe is paramount to deciding which storage tank to buy. To decide this you need to know what was previously stored in the tanks and whether this will have a reaction with the materials you are going to keep in it.
