Custom-Built Stainless Tanks
Custom-built stainless tanks are manufactured to the project for volume, layout and connection needs that standard sizes cannot cover. Whether the shell is horizontal or vertical, the position of the manway, the leg arrangement and the nozzle positions are all determined by the intended use. At Denfor Endüstriyel, we build custom tanks in AISI 304 and AISI 316L grades, as single-walled, jacketed or insulated, with hygienic or flanged connection types. Before manufacturing, dimensions and nozzle layout are clarified together on a technical drawing.

Why it matters
What does a custom-built stainless tank do?
Provides a project-specific solution for volume, layout and connection needs that standard sizes don't cover.
AISI 304/316L stainless shell
The appropriate stainless grade is chosen based on the fluid's chemical content, producing a corrosion-resistant, long-lasting tank.
Horizontal/vertical shell and custom nozzle layout
The position of the manway, the leg arrangement and the nozzle positions are determined by the layout of the site where the tank will be installed.
Single-walled, jacketed or insulated option
Depending on whether the product needs temperature control, a choice is made between single-walled, jacketed or insulated shell options.
Types
Sub-types of custom-built stainless tanks
All three are manufactured to the project; what sets them apart is the shell construction and temperature control need.
Single-walled custom-built tank
Built with an economical, simple construction for storage-only projects that don't require temperature control.
- Economical solution
- Storage only
- Simple construction
Jacketed custom-built tank
A double-walled shell provides hot/cold water or steam circulation, keeping product temperature within the desired range.
- Temperature control
- Double-walled shell
- Process stability
Insulated custom-built tank
An insulation jacket is applied to the outside of the shell, keeping the stored product's temperature for longer and reducing heat loss.
- Reduces heat loss
- Energy efficiency
- Long-term storage
Selection criteria
What data determines the right custom-built tank?
Selection cannot be made without the first two items. The rest determine the shell construction and connection type.

FAQ
Questions from the field
The questions we hear most often when quoting custom-built stainless tanks.
What is the difference between a standard tank and a custom build?
Standard tanks are limited to the specific volume and equipment options in the catalog; custom-built tanks are engineered from scratch to match site dimensions, volume and connection needs.
How does the manufacturing process work?
First, the volume, layout and nozzle positions are clarified together on a technical drawing; after approval, the process continues through manufacturing and quality control.
When is a horizontal shell preferred?
A horizontal shell is preferred over a vertical one in projects with limited ceiling height, or where the tank will be mounted on a platform or vehicle.
Can an existing tank be revised?
Depending on the project, revision work such as adding a nozzle, applying a jacket or renewing the inner surface can be considered for an existing tank; this is confirmed after a site survey.
Do you only serve Istanbul?
No. While our office is on Istanbul's Anatolian side (Ataşehir), we supply and ship across Istanbul's European side, the surrounding provinces and the Marmara region, and Turkey as a whole — covering your equipment end to end, from a single source.
