What Is a Frac Tank?
A frac tank (also called a fracking tank or frac storage tank) is a closed-top mobile steel vessel used to store and transport large volumes of liquid on industrial job sites. The name comes from hydraulic fracturing: frac tanks were originally designed to hold the fresh water and chemical fluids staged at wellpads during fracking operations. Today they are used across construction, environmental remediation, municipal infrastructure projects, and any industrial application where a contractor needs to contain thousands of gallons of liquid without permanent infrastructure. One oilfield barrel equals 42 US gallons. A 500-barrel frac tank holds approximately 21,000 gallons.
Frac Tank Sizes
Frac tanks are measured in barrels (BBL). One oilfield barrel equals 42 US gallons. Cooper Tank stocks three standard sizes: 200 BBL: approximately 8,400 gallons. Common for smaller jobsite holds, water transfer operations, and secondary containment applications. 300 BBL: approximately 12,600 gallons. Standard for mid-scale frack support, flowback containment, and produced water staging. 500 BBL: approximately 21,000 gallons. The most common size on full frac spreads and large construction dewatering projects. The 500-barrel is also the largest size that ships highway-legal without escort permits in most states. Call (718) 497-4431 for exact dimensions on tanks currently in stock and to lock in pricing.
Frac Tank Applications
Hydraulic fracturing: fresh water and brine storage for frack fluid staging. Produced water: containment of high-salinity flowback water from oil and gas wells. Drilling mud: water-based and synthetic-based mud storage and transport. Construction dewatering: temporary liquid holds during foundation, tunnel, and pipeline work. Industrial water transfer: pipeline pressure testing, infrastructure construction, temporary firewater supply. Spill response: emergency containment capacity at refineries, chemical plants, and marine terminals. Environmental remediation: liquid waste staging ahead of treatment. If the job requires holding or moving more than 5,000 gallons of liquid in a mobile vessel, a frac tank is the standard answer.
Frac Tank Construction and Features
Cooper Tank frac tanks are built to the same spec: 3/16-inch formed steel plate on the full body with no bolted seams in the wet zone. Continuous welded construction is pressure-tested before delivery. The chemical-resistant epoxy interior lining resists corrosion from salt water, brine, and mild acids. Multiple inlet and outlet ports come with camlock quick-connect fittings as standard. A graduated sight gauge allows real-time volume monitoring without climbing the tank. Every tank ships with DOT inspection and certification for over-the-road transport. The stackable design allows efficient field staging in tight wellpad and jobsite layouts. Industrial enamel exterior finish in safety colors is standard.
Frac Tank vs. Frac Box: What Is the Difference?
A frac tank is a closed-top mobile vessel for liquids. It is long, low, and either rolls on its own running gear or loads onto a tractor. A frac box is a smaller, open-top or covered roll-off container used for solid and semi-solid materials: drill cuttings, contaminated soil, and dewatered sludge. Frac boxes run 20 to 30 cubic yards and haul on a standard roll-off truck. If you need to hold liquid in volume, you want a frac tank.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many gallons is a 500-barrel frac tank?
A 500-barrel frac tank holds approximately 21,000 US gallons (500 barrels x 42 gallons per oilfield barrel).
What frac tank sizes does Cooper Tank stock?
Cooper Tank stocks 200 BBL (approximately 8,400 gallons), 300 BBL (approximately 12,600 gallons), and 500 BBL (approximately 21,000 gallons). Call (718) 497-4431 to confirm current inventory.
Are frac tanks DOT-certified?
Yes. Every Cooper Tank frac tank ships with current DOT inspection and certification for over-the-road transport.
What is a frac tank used for?
Frac tanks are used for hydraulic fracturing fluid storage, produced water containment, drilling mud storage, construction dewatering, industrial water transfer, spill response, and liquid waste staging. Any application requiring thousands of gallons of mobile liquid containment.
Can frac tanks store produced water and other corrosive fluids?
Yes. The chemical-resistant epoxy interior lining is rated for high-salinity produced water, drilling mud, and mild acids. For aggressive chemical service (strong acids, solvents, hydrocarbons above standard refined fuel), specify the exact fluid in your quote request and we will match the right interior lining.
How do I buy a frac tank from Cooper Tank?
Call our Brooklyn yard at (718) 497-4431 or submit a quote request with your delivery location. We will confirm current inventory, dimensions, and a delivered price.
What is the difference between a frac tank and a water tank?
Frac tanks are built to oilfield specifications: 3/16-inch steel, pressure-tested welds, chemical-resistant epoxy lining, DOT certification, and camlock port fittings for quick field connections. A generic water tank may lack the lining, certification, or port configuration required for industrial and oilfield use. Frac tanks are designed for produced water and process chemicals, not just fresh water.
