SquareCell frequently asked questions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Yes. SquareCell is protected by US Patent 10,745,191 B2, “Baffled fluid container assembly,” granted August 18, 2020. Canadian Patent CA 3001383 is pending.

SquareCell is built for construction, agriculture, oil and gas, emergency power, wind farms, and fuel and lubricant distribution. It also fits mining, lube centers, marine, aviation, food-grade products, and chemicals.

A typical IBC tote costs less up front, but it is a single-wall container that relies on gravity or a pump. SquareCell adds pressurized pump-free dispensing, an inert gas blanket, internal baffles, a removable inner tank, and fully enclosed 110% secondary containment.

Conventional tanks have a lower entry cost. SquareCell trades that for security, safety, versatility, environmental protection, and product integrity in a compact, transportable footprint that dispenses without a pump.
