With over 20 years of experience in heavy industrial fabrication, Nordstone stands as a premier name among high-performance chemical storage tanks manufacturers in Italy.
We design, engineer, and manufacture safe, reliable, and custom-engineered solutions tailored specifically for the containment of hazardous, volatile, and highly corrosive substances.
Operating out of our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, our seasoned team of expert engineers leverages advanced fluid dynamics and metallurgy to deliver robust storage infrastructure for Italy’s critical chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and oil & gas operations.
Every custom-built unit we ship is fully compliant with European directives and rigorous global benchmarks, carrying trusted API, ASME, and ISO certifications.
By strictly avoiding one-size-fits-all structural templates, Nordstone ensures that your containment assets are custom-engineered to withstand extreme operating pressures, thermal fluctuations, and aggressive chemical environments over an extended operational life cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What design standards do Nordstone chemical storage tanks follow for European and Italian markets?
Our chemical containment assets are engineered and fabricated in strict accordance with major global and European frameworks. This includes ASME Section VIII (Div. 1 & 2) for pressurized units, API 650 and API 620 for atmospheric or low-pressure storage, and compliance with the European Pressure Equipment Directive (PED) 2014/68/EU.
2. What materials are used to construct your industrial chemical tanks?
We specialize in high-grade metallurgy chosen specifically to resist chemical degradation. Our material selection includes Austenitic Stainless Steels (SS304, SS316L), Duplex and Super Duplex steels for heightened mechanical strength, and specialty high-nickel exotic alloys such as Hastelloy, Monel, and Titanium for highly aggressive acidic conditions.
3. How does Nordstone prevent internal corrosion inside its storage tanks?
Corrosion mitigation is handled during the engineering phase through correct material selection and internal finishes. Depending on the chemical profiles provided, we offer specialized protective measures such as internal cladded or overlay options, high-performance phenolic coatings, glass-flake linings, and specialized epoxy barriers.
4. Can your containment vessels handle high temperatures and pressures?
Yes. Our facility specializes in custom-engineered vessels rated to operate anywhere from full vacuum up to 200 bar, with design temperatures spanning from cryogenic levels up to +400°C. Every unit is simulated under extreme stress profiles before production.
5. Do you provide turn-key modular process skids along with storage tanks?
Yes, we engineer and supply fully integrated, shop-fabricated process and utility skid packages. These systems arrive pre-wired, pre-piped, and factory-tested, minimizing on-site deployment down-time at Italian facilities.
6. What quality control testing protocols are executed before shipping?
Our zero-defect quality control workflow covers non-destructive testing (NDT) including Radiographic Testing (RT), Ultrasonic Testing (UT), Dye Penetrant Testing (DPT), and Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI). This is capped off by mandatory hydro-testing or pneumatic pressure tests to confirm absolute structural integrity.
7. How does Nordstone support compliance with local environmental and safety laws?
Our manufacturing processes are certified under ISO 9001 (Quality), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management), and ISO 45001 (Occupational Health & Safety). This documentation provides operators with a transparent material audit trail that aligns cleanly with the strict environmental and safety regulations enforced by regional Italian authorities.
8. Does Nordstone offer seismic or wind-load modifications for specific regions in Italy?
Yes. We perform localized structural and stress analyses to tailor tank foundations, anchorage systems, and wall thicknesses. This ensures full compliance with European structural design codes (Eurocodes) regarding regional seismic risks and high wind loads.
9. What documentation is provided with a completed tank order?
Every asset is delivered alongside a comprehensive technical dossier. This file includes mechanical design calculations, General Arrangement (GA) drawings, Material Test Certificates (MTCs), Welding Procedure Specifications (WPS), Procedure Qualification Records (PQR), NDE inspection records, and Hydro test certificates.
10. Can you manufacture tanks suitable for the pharmaceutical or food industries in Italy?
Yes. We manufacture ultra-clean vessels using high-grade stainless steels finished with precision CNC-controlled mechanical polishing and electropolishing to prevent micro-bacterial accumulation and ensure clean-in-place (CIP) efficiency.
11. What tank capacities can Nordstone manufacture?
Our manufacturing capabilities cover a wide range of sizes, from compact process surge tanks to large-capacity atmospheric storage systems built to custom volumetric footprints based entirely on your plant layout constraints.
12. Are your tanks outfitted for secondary containment integration?
We custom-engineer double-walled tanks or integrated containment systems that offer built-in secondary protection. This layout helps prevent hazardous spills and aligns with modern risk-management mandates.
13. How do you manage logistics and delivery to industrial sites across Italy?
All equipment is wrapped in export-grade protective packaging and handled by specialized industrial transport networks. We manage the logistics workflow to ensure safe delivery and drop-off to your designated facility or plant yard.
14. What instrumentation and automation options can be pre-installed?
Tanks can be delivered fully pre-engineered to accept automation packages, including level transmitters, temperature indicators, internal heating elements, automated pressure relief valves, and integrated visual sight gauges.
15. How do we initiate a custom design project with Nordstone?
The process begins with an assessment of your operating parameters—including exact chemical composition, concentration, pressure, temperature, and space limits.
