For more than two decades, UB Engineering Global has been fabricating mild steel (MS) tanks for industrial plants across India, from our manufacturing base in Ludhiana, Punjab. We work with steel plants, cement plants, chemical units, food and pharma facilities, and EPC contractors who need storage tanks built to exact process, capacity, and compliance requirements — not off-the-shelf boxes.
Every tank we build starts with your application: the liquid or material being stored, the required capacity, the site conditions, and any statutory compliance your plant needs to meet. That’s why our clients keep coming back for repeat orders instead of shopping around each time.
Why Industrial Buyers Choose an MS Tank
Mild steel remains the material of choice for the majority of Indian process industries because it balances three things procurement teams actually care about: upfront cost, structural strength, and ease of fabrication at scale. Compared with stainless steel, MS tanks cost significantly less to manufacture and are faster to produce in large volumes which matters when a plant expansion is on a deadline.
Where MS tanks make the most sense:
- Non-corrosive or mildly corrosive liquid storage (water, oils, fuels, general process liquids)
- Applications where the tank will be internally coated or lined (epoxy, refractory, rubber lining) for chemical resistance
- High-capacity storage where cost-per-litre needs to stay low
- Situations requiring rapid fabrication and delivery for plant commissioning timelines
Tank Types We Manufacture
| Tank Type | Typical Use |
|---|---|
| Vertical cylindrical tanks | Bulk liquid storage, water treatment, chemical holding |
| Horizontal tanks | Fuel/oil storage, limited headroom installations |
| Rectangular / square tanks | Effluent treatment, pickling baths, dosing tanks |
| Open-top tanks | Mixing, agitation, non-pressurised process applications |
| Dished-end pressure tanks | Boiler feed water, compressed process fluids |
Features of Our MS Tanks
- High-grade steel construction — fabricated from IS 2062-grade mild steel plates for consistent strength and weldability
- Leak-proof welded joints — continuous ARC/MIG welding, pressure- and leak-tested before dispatch
- Corrosion protection — anti-rust primer and protective coating applied as standard; epoxy or refractory lining available on request
- Custom sizing — built to your capacity, footprint, and nozzle/fitting specifications rather than fixed catalogue sizes
- Low lifecycle cost — minimal maintenance requirement and long service life relative to fabrication cost
Applications Across Industries
- Chemical & Process Plants — safe containment of process liquids and raw chemicals
- Water Treatment & DM Plants — raw water, softened water, and treated water storage
- Steel & Cement Plants — process water and slurry storage tanks
- Food & Pharmaceutical Units — utility water and process liquid storage (with food-grade lining where specified)
- Textile & Paper Mills — dyeing liquor, bleaching, and process water tanks
- Boiler Houses — feed water and blow-down storage tanks
Our Manufacturing Process
- Requirement study — site visit or drawing review to confirm capacity, orientation, and fitting requirements
- Design & material planning — plate thickness and steel grade selected for the application
- Cutting & rolling — precision plate cutting and rolling to the required tank profile
- Welding & fabrication — continuous welded seams, internal bracing where required
- Quality testing — hydrostatic/leak testing and weld inspection before coating
- Coating & finishing — anti-corrosion primer, paint, or lining as specified
- Dispatch & site support — packed and transported pan-India, with installation support available
Quality Assurance
Every MS tank leaving our facility is tested for weld integrity and leak-proofing before it is cleared for dispatch. (Add specific certifications — ISO 9001, IBR approval if applicable, third-party inspection agencies used — once confirmed, to strengthen this section for E-E-A-T.)

Conclusion
Choosing the right MS tank manufacturer affects far more than the price on the quote — it determines how long the tank lasts, how well it holds up under your plant’s actual operating conditions, and how quickly you can get it installed and running. UB Engineering Global brings 23+ years of industrial fabrication experience to every tank we build, from design through dispatch. If you’re evaluating manufacturers for an upcoming project, we’re happy to review your requirement and provide a detailed specification and quote.
FAQ
1. What is an MS tank used for?
MS (Mild Steel) tanks are widely used for storing water, chemicals, oils, fuels, slurry, process liquids, and industrial fluids. They are commonly installed in chemical plants, cement plants, steel industries, power plants, food processing units, textile mills, pharmaceutical companies, and water treatment facilities due to their durability, high strength, and cost-effectiveness.
