EXPLORE THIS SECTION
Advanced Recycling
Tate Metalworks recognizes the pivotal role of plastic recycling in the circular economy. We fabricate and construct storage tanks and reactors that are essential for the process and storage involved in this industry.
Biofuel Industry
More and more commonly, heavy energy producers and consumers are turning to biofuels to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As this sustainable industry grows, Tate Metalworks is providing our expertise in both shop-fabricated and field-erected tanks.
Bioplastics
The bioplastics industry is revolutionizing manufacturing with eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. For over 50 years, Tate Metalworks has been a trusted partner in this revolution, providing high-quality storage tanks, pressure vessels, and custom fabrication solutions. We understand the unique challenges of producing bioplastics and ensure that the purity and integrity of these bio-based materials are maintained throughout the process.
Carbon Capture
As a proven solution for reducing carbon emissions, carbon capture technology is being adopted by a growing number of industries, from power plants to chemical manufacturing. This allows companies to meet not only regulatory requirements but also their own environmental commitments.
Chemical Industry
In the chemical industry, meticulous engineering and safe construction are non-negotiable. For over 50 years, Tate Metalworks has delivered reliable, high-quality storage tanks, pressure vessels, and custom fabrication solutions that meet the unique demands of chemical processing and storage facilities.
Coatings
Tate Metalworks engineers, fabricates, and erects custom API storage tanks and ASME pressure vessels for the coatings and paint industry. These tank and process vessels are integral to the storage and mixing of solvents, pigments, resins, and additives used in paint formulation. Our equipment supports critical process steps from raw material handling to batch production and final product storage. Clients rely on Tate Metalworks for our equipment’s reliability, safety, and code compliance. The tanks and vessels we fabricate directly support the production of coatings found in homes, vehicles, appliances, and countless consumer goods, delivering durable, high-performance finishes.
Petrochemical
Petrochemicals are the foundation for a wide variety of everyday products, from plastic packaging to synthetic fibers in clothing, fertilizer for crops, and pharmaceuticals. The petrochemical industry transforms raw materials—including ethane, propane, butane, and naphtha sourced from crude oil and natural gas refining—into primary petrochemicals like ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, and xylene. Tate Metalworks is a trusted partner in this critical industry, providing engineered storage solutions for a diverse range of raw materials, primary petrochemicals, and finished products.
Power Industry
Tate Metalworks is a leader in providing field-erected and shop-fabricated storage tanks for the power industry across the United States. As the demand for electricity continues to grow, we're helping our clients invest in new infrastructure and explore alternative fuels that generate power more efficiently.
Pulp and Paper
The pulp and paper industry creates a wide variety of consumer and packaging products from raw materials like wood, recycled paper, and container board. This manufacturing process, known as The Kraft Process, uses chemicals to dissolve lignin and separate cellulose, which is then refined into pulp for use in final products. Our vessels are often used to meet the various storage demands for this crucial process.
Synthetic Aviation Fuel
At Tate Metalworks, we're dedicated to providing innovative solutions for the synthetic aviation fuel (SAF) industry. We supply both shop-fabricated and field-erected storage tanks made from stainless steel, duplex steel, and carbon steel, all custom-built to meet the specific requirements of the SAF industry.
Thermal Energy Storage
The purpose of thermal energy storage (TES) is to improve your energy efficiency and reduce overall cost by storing heat or cold energy produced during off-peak hours for later use. The most common TES application is known as stratification, which utilizes the properties of water in large field erected tanks. The key component of a TES tank is the internal diffuser that distributes warm water at the top of the tank and cold water at the bottom, through laminar flow, which creates a natural thermocline, a layer of water separating the two temperature zones. Our custom-engineered tanks help you harness energy efficiently, lower operating costs, and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Wastewater Treatment
Wastewater treatment is a vital process that protects public health, prevents pollution, and allows water to be repurposed for industrial use. Many owners and OEM technology providers rely on Tate Metalworks for our expertise and quality, using our field-erected API tanks and shop-fabricated ASME Section VIII Pressure Vessels to store their process water and effluent treatment equipment.
Tate serves clients Nationwide, from our Headquarters in the Upstate of South Carolina.
