Patented pressurized fluid container
Store it sealed. Dispense it without a pump.
SquareCell is a patented, pressurized, baffled fluid container for fuels, lubricants, and other fluids. It holds product under an inert gas blanket, dispenses at up to 100 gallons per minute with no pump or power, and contains spills with 110% weatherproof secondary containment.

What is SquareCell?
SquareCell is a double-walled, fully enclosed fluid container that works like a storage tank and an intermediate bulk container (IBC) in one. A compressed gas cartridge pressurizes the inner tank, so product dispenses on demand without an electric pump. While stored, product sits under a blanket of inert gas instead of open air, which cuts contamination, evaporation, condensation, and vent emissions.
It is engineered to meet NFPA 30, UL 142, and US DOT standards, and is made by SquareCell LLC in Abilene, Texas.
How it works
Pressure does the work a pump used to do.
Fill and blanket
Product goes into the removable inner tank, and inert gas fills the space above it. Nothing vents to the atmosphere, so contaminants stay out and emissions stay in.
Pressurize
A compressed gas cartridge pressurizes the container. Internal baffles steady the fluid while the unit is moved or dispensing.
Dispense anywhere
Open the valve and product flows at up to 100 GPM. No pump, no generator, no outlet. Vacuum loading also clears tanks and lines efficiently.
Contain
The outer wall holds 110% of the inner tank's capacity, so a leak stays inside the enclosed, weatherproof housing.
Why SquareCell
Five reasons crews switch from tanks and totes.
Most containers either store product or dispense it. SquareCell does both, and protects the product and the ground underneath while it does.
No pump. No power. Up to 100 GPM.
Pressurized unloading and storage eliminate conventional pumps, and vacuum loading clears tanks and lines efficiently while preserving product integrity.
Product stays the way it arrived
An inert gas blanket protects stored product from contamination, evaporation, and condensation, from storage through dispensing.
110% weatherproof containment
Fully enclosed, double-walled construction guards against spills, contamination, and harsh weather.
Compact and transportable
A 45 1/8 in. square footprint is efficient to haul and helps maximize warehouse and yard space.
Built around your application
Internal baffles and a modular, customizable build adapt SquareCell to the fluid and the site.
Product where you need it
Hitch it up. Dispense on arrival.
SquareCell rides on a standard trailer and starts dispensing the moment it lands, with no hookups to wait for.
Industries
Built for the places fluid has to go.
From jobsites and farms to remote leases and turbine pads, SquareCell delivers reliable containment wherever fluid needs to move.
Construction
Fuel and fluids on the jobsite, moved by pickup.
Agriculture
Clean fuel and fluids at the field edge.
Oil & Gas
Remote-site storage with lower vent emissions.
Emergency Power
Backup fuel staged and ready when the grid goes down.
Wind Farms
Lubricants and fluids for remote turbine service.

SquareCell vs. IBC totes and conventional tanks
Tanks and totes cost less to buy. SquareCell is built for the jobs where safety, containment, and product integrity cost more when they fail.
| Feature | SquareCell | Typical IBC tote | Conventional tank |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dispensing | Pressurized, up to 100 GPM, no pump or power | Gravity drain or separate pump | Gravity or separate pump |
| Product protection | Inert gas blanket; no venting to air | Vented or open to air when dispensing | Typically vented to atmosphere |
| Secondary containment | 110%, built in, fully enclosed | Usually none without a spill pallet | Often requires a separate dike or berm |
| Weather exposure | Fully enclosed, weatherproof housing | Exposed tote and cage | Exposed tank and fittings |
| Transport & footprint | Compact square footprint; trailer-ready | Compact; stackable when empty | Larger footprint; often fixed on a stand |
| Standards | Engineered to NFPA 30, UL 142, US DOT | Varies by tote | Varies by tank |
| Entry cost | Higher than a typical IBC | Lowest | Lower than SquareCell |
FAQ
Common questions
What is SquareCell?
SquareCell is a patented, pressurized, baffled fluid container made by SquareCell LLC of Abilene, Texas. It stores fuels, lubricants, and other fluids under an inert gas blanket and dispenses them under pressure without a pump or outside power. It serves the storage tank and intermediate bulk container (IBC) markets.
How does SquareCell dispense fluid without a pump?
A compressed gas cartridge pressurizes the container and pushes product out through the dispensing line at up to 100 gallons per minute. Because there is no electric pump, the unit needs no outside power source and can be placed in remote or difficult locations.
What is an inert gas blanket and why does it matter?
Instead of venting to the atmosphere, SquareCell stores product under a layer of inert gas. This keeps air, moisture, and contaminants out, reduces evaporation and condensation, and virtually eliminates escaping vent gases from hazardous liquids.
How much does a SquareCell hold?
The standard SquareCell holds 370 gallons. It measures 80 in. high by 45 1/8 in. wide by 45 1/8 in. long and weighs 2,075 lbs. empty. 100, 250, and 500-gallon versions are pending final engineering.
What does 110% secondary containment mean?
The outer wall of SquareCell can hold 110% of the inner tank's capacity. If the inner tank leaks, the fluid stays inside the fully enclosed, double-walled unit rather than reaching the ground, water, or wildlife.
What standards does SquareCell meet?
SquareCell is engineered to meet NFPA 30 (Flammable and Combustible Liquids Code), UL 142 (steel aboveground tanks for flammable and combustible liquids), and US DOT requirements.
