Climate Control Options for Your Storage Building
U.S. Chemical Storage climate-controlled chemical storage buildings keep chemicals above or below ambient temperature. They are configured to safely store temperature sensitive chemicals, regardless of the temperature range they require. Whether storing chemicals at 35°F or above 175°F, our air conditioned, refrigerated, and heated buildings are designed to maintain your chemical’s integrity. Climate control chemical storage units are offered in both explosion proof and non-explosion proof classifications. Each building is insulated to ensure proper function. A key feature of our climate control chemical storage buildings is the single point temperature controllers we offer. We can offer a simple thermostat, or a more robust PID Controller. The simple thermostat will control the heating and cooling units within the range you set. The PID Controller provides the ability to control the temperature range, as well as high/low temperature alarms and even recording capability.

Frequently Asked Questions
First consult the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) to determine the type of chemical you’re storing and any storage requirements listed. There are two main classifications of buildings to consider: fire-rated and non-fire-rated steel buildings.
There are three main questions you should answer before engineering or design can begin on your building: what is to be stored, how much of it is being stored, and where is the location it will be stored? You will also need to consult with your local “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) or local code expert to determine your area’s specific storage building requirements.
Our team at U.S. Chemical Storage has a wealth of knowledge, experience, and resources to help analyze your storage needs, but the final approval is made by the local AHJ, so you will need to ultimately ask them about your requirements early in the planning process.
Chemical storage buildings manufactured by U.S. Chemical Storage are designed to get your operation compliant. Contact one of our technical sales engineers to learn how we can find the best solution for your compliance needs. You will also want to learn more about specific chemical storage requirements in your specific area by contacting your local “Authority Having Jurisdiction” (AHJ) who could be a local fire marshal, a municipal code official, or a city environmental department.
Location of the building can be either inside another building or outside to fit your needs. Fire Separation, which is the amount of fire rating required between two occupancies, or the separation distance between those two occupancies, is determined by the type of chemical or hazard being stored, and distances between buildings, egress pathways, or environmental features. To determine the required fire separation, it is best to consult with your local code authority. Inside another building or within 10 feet of another building, you’ll be required to have a 4-hour fire rating. If your hazmat storage building is located at distances 30 feet or greater your building may not be required to have a fire rating at all.
