What can you store?
One technology. Many applications.
Labaronne-Citaf develops different technical fabrics, fittings and configurations to suit the liquid, volume and operating conditions.
Water
Irrigation, livestock watering and washing
A water reserve for irrigation, livestock, processing operations and cleaning.
Resources
Rainwater
Rainwater collection and storage for reuse and reduced water costs.
Clean water
Drinking and sanitary water
Specialised solutions for clean and drinking water using suitably certified technical fabric.
Safety
Firefighting reserve
A dependable water reserve for agricultural, industrial, commercial, forestry and remote sites.
Bioeconomy
Agricultural effluents
Slurry, digestate, silage effluent, dairy wastewater and wash water from farms, dairies and wineries.
Industry
Industrial wastewater
Leachate, sludge, contaminated water and other industrial liquid effluents.
Energy
Fuels, mineral oils and special liquids
Project-specific solutions with fabric and equipment selected after a detailed chemical assessment.
Gas
Gas and biogas
Flexible gas holders and covers for gas storage, conditioning and recovery.
Product solutions
Choose the right type of storage
Not every project needs the same tank. We select the structure to suit the volume, mobility, access, site and stored medium.
Closed self-supporting tank
The classic pillow tank for long-term or temporary liquid storage.
Transportable tank
For transport on a platform, trailer, vessel or other suitable vehicle.
Partially buried Hyperbag
A stationary, high-capacity system based on flexible tank technology.
Containment system
A watertight basin or membrane to contain the liquid in the event of an incident.
Self-erecting open tank
Compact, portable intermediate storage that is easy to fill, empty and clean.
Frame-supported open tank
Rectangular or circular tanks for buffer storage, settlement, treatment and aquaculture.
Flexible gas holder
Modular storage and conditioning of different gases, including small-scale anaerobic digestion.
Covers, liners and monitoring
Odour and biogas covers, liners, protective systems, level measurement and remote monitoring.
Why flexible storage?
A quick, adaptable and economical solution
A flexible tank makes efficient use of the available space, is delivered compactly and can be made to the dimensions of a specific project.
Economical investment
A competitive cost per installed cubic metre and substantially lighter infrastructure.
Quick installation
Delivered folded, then unfolded on a prepared base and connected to the system.
Tailored to your project
Different capacities, lengths, widths, fittings, valves and filling and emptying points.
Indoors or outdoors
Installation in an existing building or on a specially prepared outdoor base.
Compact and portable
A small transport volume before installation and the option to relocate under suitable conditions.
Closed storage
Limits contact with air, evaporation and the spread of odours.
Special focus
Fertilizer selected. Now for storage.
Labaronne-Citaf develops flexible tanks for long-term storage of nitrogen, sulphur and other liquid fertilizers. The technical fabric, seams and equipment are selected according to the chemical properties of the product.
Project assessmentThe compatibility of every liquid fertilizer is confirmed before manufacture.
What capacity do you need?
The brochure uses an indicative delivery of around 23 m³ and a reserve of 5–10 m³. The actual choice depends on deliveries, fertilizer density and the available site.
30 m³around 1 delivery
60 m³around 2 deliveries
80 m³around 3 deliveries
100 m³around 4 deliveries

These are tank dimensions. For the base, the liquid fertilizer brochure specifies an additional 2 m in total in both length and width relative to the empty tank. Containment is determined for each project.
Design for liquid fertilizers
Every detail matters.
The fabric, flanges, air vents, valves and connections are configured as a single system for the volume and product.
Example FERTI1300 specification
1 300 g/m²total fabric mass

PVC / PEScoating and base material
Average FERTI1300 fabric values from the supplied technical sheet; stated manufacturing tolerances ±10%. The temperature range applies to the material. Permissible conditions for the stored product are specified separately for each project.
DN80 / DN100 air vent
Releases air during filling and supports correct tank operation.
Polypropylene valve
A filling and emptying configuration with a suitable size and quick coupling.
Manifolds and connections
Shared management of several tanks and integration with an existing system.

Installation and safetySee the base preparation detail
The right base is part of the system
The base must be flat, level, clean and stable, with no sharp objects. The liquid fertilizer brochure specifies the empty tank dimensions plus an additional 2 m in total in both length and width. Load-bearing capacity is determined for the full tank.
