About WINBCO

The Most referenced Constructor of Tank Systems
Across All Industries in the United States

Ethanol & Corn Mills

Ethanol & Corn Mills

WINBCO constructed the first anhydrous ethanol plant in the country in 1979. Our early expertise in the industry fueled hundreds of projects spanning through the turn of the 21st century. Today 80% of all ethanol producers in the country have called on WINBCO’s cutting-edge solutions. We provide custom tanks no matter the scope of the project, including process tanks, fermentation tanks, waste water tanks and product storage vessels so our customers can be fully operable. 

Corn milling has been the base of what we do since our earliest days, and we continue to service the ever-evolving industry, from corn syrup production, lactic acids, biodegradable chemicals and so much more. In our more than 80 years of experience, we’ve constructed hundreds of steep tanks for grain processing, taking special care to protect against the corrosive materials that pass through. We can add various supports, such as skirts, legs or concrete ring walls for further integrity as requested. Whatever you need, we have tank construction covered so our customers can focus on new ways to preserve their excess commodities and give grain a new purpose.

Sustainable Biofuels

Sustainable Biofuels

We custom-build every tank and accommodate all of your shop fabrication or field erection requests. Our expertise covers a large range of the most complicated, durable alloys, including duplex and super duplex stainless, nickel alloys and hastelloy. 

That means we have all of the materials and tools we need at our disposal to construct custom tanks with the utmost precision within your parameters. Because such care is taken before we even begin construction, the final product is a powerful tank. As a testament to the quality construction and longevity of our products, WINBCO liquefaction tanks installed in 1974 remain dutifully in service today.

Sustainable Aviation Fuels

Sustainable Aviation Fuels

WINBCO’s strong background with the biofuels industry paved the way for our prominence in the next big commodity sweeping production facilities across the nation: sustainable aviation fuels. As biodegradable, renewable jet fuels take off, WINBCO’s unmatched industry expertise allows us to conduct timely engineering solutions while taking into account the many intricacies of the industry. 

There’s no time to waste as demand for sustainable aviation fuel skyrockets. WINBCO’s on line, on time commitment to service never wavers, and neither does our pursuit of cutting edge solutions to empower innovation. We’ve developed the most advanced process technologies for welding and construction and proudly custom-build tanks for superior performance to help scale the growth of the in-demand sustainable aviation fuels industry.

Chemical Processing

Chemical Processing

To combat corrosive chemicals, WINBCO strategically constructs storage tanks using long-lasting carbon or stainless steel, depending on the application. Stainless steel has the highest life expectancy compared to epoxy-coated or glass-lined tanks, which are much more susceptible to expensive repairs. Stainless steel is the strongest material for storage tanks containing either corrosive or pure material, so our stainless steel tanks are essentially maintenance-free. 

Working with various chemicals and toxins, often on a tight schedule, chemical processing plants can’t afford to settle for inferior quality. WINBCO custom-builds welded, stainless steel storage tanks on your schedule with an extended service life that can only come from the best in the business. Working with WINBCO is an investment in quality that lasts well into the future.

Food & Beverage

Food & Beverage

Some of the biggest players in the food & beverage production industry call on WINBCO for essential elements of their production facility, including fermenters, beer wells, stainless steel storage tanks, up flow anaerobic sludge bed (UASB) reactors and more. Our full-scale welding and construction capabilities allow us to create tanks with capacities exceeding 2 million gallons, constructed with stainless steel for long-lasting integrity. 

UASB reactors in particular are catching the eye of many industries for their proven effectiveness and economic advantages. These tanks benefit breweries, sugar refining and the food and beverage industries for cost-effective treatment of the wastewater produced. Stainless steel is critical to the performance of a UASB reactor since it isn’t compromised by corrosion that can lead to leaks and a delay of operations. We think ahead when we construct our tanks to maximize each custom-built project for longevity and low overall cost to maintain throughout its lifespan.

Oil Storage

Oil Storage

WINBCO specializes in API 650 tanks designed to meet the explicit safety standards outlined by the American Petroleum Institute for protecting the surrounding environment from oil, gasoline and other such chemicals stored inside. We are well-versed in the API 650 regulations that ensure these storage tanks are structurally sound. 

Beyond initial construction and planning for your project, we carry the strictest standards over to quality assurance and inspection procedures to confirm the tank is ready for operation. Our custom vessels are designed to operate safely to meet your needs and to securely maintain your facility without leaking any hazardous materials—a commitment and priority we share with you.

Product Showcase

ASME Pressure Vessel

WINBCO is not only the industry leader in field erected process systems—we are also well known for superior quality shop assembled tanks and pressure vessels. With over 120,000 square feet of under-roof floor space in five different locations, WINBCO custom fabricates and assembles every tank and vessel to customer specifications, in carbon, stainless, duplex and nickel alloy steel or any other metal specified. We use our expertise to recommend savings and time costs to expedite and help your project go smoothly up front.

Built to sustain pressure, a pressure vessel’s welding and construction integrity are critical to safety, productivity, reliability, cost-effectiveness and uninterrupted operations.

 

API 650 Tanks

There’s a reason API 650s are preferred by those in the oil industry. Designed, constructed and tested following the stringent parameters outlined by the American Petroleum Institute, API 650 vessels can be built to a variety of sizes and safely store oil, gas, biofuels and other chemicals in low pressure applications.

While we closely abide by the API 650 codes and requirements, we work with each of our customers to adjust specifications based on their needs within those parameters. Your above-ground storage and process tanks are in good hands with our experienced team of field erectors and shop fabricators,

UL 142 Tanks

For shop fabrications projects, we specialize in UL 142 tanks custom-built to securely store flammable liquids per the guidance outlined in the code’s regulations. The risks posed by petroleum and other chemicals are reduced greatly through the proper storage facilitated by WINBCO’s highly trained team experienced with UL 142 tank fabrication. 

Our role isn’t done until we’ve inspected and tested the final product to ensure it will withstand the elements it will be exposed to. For custom tanks built the right way, rely on WINBCO to exceed your expectations and deliver a product designed to last.
