Applications
Water

The company’s primary vocation since 1958, Labaronne-Citaf offers numerous solutions dedicated to water storage (rainwater, spring water, raw water, wastewater…). As an increasingly scarce resource, water management requires the establishment of a storage system or suitable recovery system.

Our flexible solutions for water storage

Since 1958, we have been committed to offering you efficient solutions for water storage.

Self-supporting closed flexible tanks placed on the ground, transport tanks, open tanks, either self-standing basin or on a frame, flexible ballasts, etc. Labaronne-Citaf designs numerous flexible tanks adapted to your uses, to collect, store, treat and distribute water.

The self-supporting closed flexible tank:
Labaronne-Citaf’s flagship product

At Labaronne-Citaf, inventor and manufacturer of the flexible tank, we have always had a special relationship with water and the challenges it implies. Characterised as blue gold, water is a precious resource that should be preserved. To this end, we provide professionals and individuals with equipment that meets their various storage needs.

Also called bladder or pillow tanks, the water tank is a liquid recovery system in the form of a flexible, opaque and closed self-supporting tarpaulin. A special feature of this flexible tank is that it is designed in a technical fabric made from high-tenacity polyester, ensuring a flawless seal. Depending on the model chosen, our bladder tanks can hold large quantities of liquid, of up to 2,000 m³ in a single unit and up to 10,000 m³ for the partially buried version.

Why invest in a flexible tank?

The flexible water tank is a practical and environmentally-friendly storage solution.

By recycling collected water, the water tank offers a certain autonomy and proves to be a judicious ally, particularly in the face of regional restrictions introduced to respond to the acceleration of global warming. Whether you are a farmer, an industrialist, a civil security authority or service, a municipality, a humanitarian association or an NGO, this equipment — permanent or temporary — remains the most effective solution to meet your water storage needs.

A multitude of uses according to your needs

The water stored in flexible tanks can be used for several purposes, such as:

Water storage tank for livestock watering,
Rainwater recovery for irrigation and watering of plots,
Water for washing agricultural or industrial equipment,
Water storage on site: site facilities, drilling, mining, construction sites, swimming pool maintenance, etc.
Water for watering: green spaces, flower beds, sports fields, etc.
Storage for wastewater treatment,
Relay storage for firefighting operations,
Drinking water unit (mobile or fixed),
Ballast and load test.

Good to know: Coupled with a purification system, our flexible tanks make it possible to sanitise the collected water (rainwater, spring water, wastewater, etc.), and to transform rainwater into potable water.

A fast, customisable and environmentally-friendly solution

Quick to deploy, easily transportable, the flexible Labaronne-Citaf tank can be installed in less than an hour and thus be operational immediately for filling or recovering water.

Depending on your project and need (collecting, storing, purifying or redistributing your water and rainwater), our design office will offer you the most appropriate and complete solution, with suitable equipment: lashing harnesses, different types of valves, connection systems, etc. Labaronne-Citaf flexible tanks can also be combined with numerous accessories (pumps, hydroponic sprinkler system, filtration system, etc.) and/or connected together.

On the installation side, the flexible tank can be placed on the ground outdoors, or in crawl spaces, under a terrace or any other space difficult to access to save space and remain discreet. The only constraint? A perfectly flat surface with no roughness.

Labaronne-Citaf products: the highest level of security

Faced with climate change (drought, fire, storms, etc.) and the need to preserve your water resources, Labaronne-Citaf designs innovative, patented, certified and guaranteed solutions.

The storage of liquids — and particularly the storage of water — is subject to strict rules that we take very seriously when designing our flexible tanks. This is why all Labaronne-Citaf products comply with existing French and European standards, to guarantee you maximum security. Our entire manufacturing process is audited and certified ISO 9001 each year by qualified professionals. In addition, for the manufacture of our flexible drinking water tanks, we use a coated polyester material approved by IANESCO, allowing perfectly secure storage, with no substance transfer (no migration from the product to the stored liquid).
