High Performance Storage Bitutainer™
Thermal performance-optimised bitumen storage
Designed for operations where thermal efficiency is critical, the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ delivers exceptional insulation and long-term temperature control for bulk bitumen storage. Built to minimise heat loss and reduce reheating costs, it is the ideal solution for projects where maintaining bitumen temperature over extended periods is essential.
- 45,000–60,000 litre capacity (dependent on insulation thickness)
- 100-250mm mineral wool insulation for superior heat retention
- Optimised for minimal reheating and energy efficiency
- Double-walled design with integral secondary containment
Struggling with temperature loss and high heating costs with current storage options?
The High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ features high-value insulation and advanced tank engineering to significantly reduce heat loss, helping you store bitumen for longer periods with minimal energy input for temperature maintenance.
Need to maximise storage capacity without compromising thermal efficiency?
Fully prefabricated and with minimal civil works required, the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ can be utilised as a bolt on additional storage tank to an existing setup, increasing storage capacity quickly and efficiently.
Concerns around environmental compliance and site setup complexity?
With its integrated double-wall design for secondary containment, the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ eliminates the need for bund walls, simplifying site installation and supporting quicker project mobilisation. As it is containerised, these can be installed as ‘temporary storage’, streamlining any local approval process.
Project doesn’t warrant investment in long term fixed bitumen storage tanks?
The High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ is fully relocatable and easy to transport, making it ideal for temporary or semi-permanent storage applications as the asset can be moved or sold at the end of the project. Built with corrosion-resistant internal coatings and high-performance external paint systems, this tank is engineered for extended service life, even in harsh operational environments.

example projects
Enhancing thermal performance for asphalt production in the UK
To replace a tank nearing the end of its service life, a leading construction materials group required a solution with exceptional insulation to support their asphalt production. TEC supplied a bespoke 40ft High Performance Storage Bitutainer™, engineered to meet their operational needs with enhanced thermal efficiency and quick deployment.
The tank delivered outstanding heat retention, maintaining product temperature even during overnight shutdowns, and was confirmed to be the most efficient tank on-site. With minimal heat loss and reduced reheating demands, the solution helped streamline operations and cut energy costs.

What is the difference between the High Capacity and High Performance Storage Bitutainers™?
The main difference is thermal performance: the High Performance model features enhanced insulation for improved heat retention at the sacrifice of the additional capacity found in the High Capacity Bitutainer™. If maximum thermal efficiency is prioritised, storage capacity may be slightly reduced to accommodate thicker insulation. This makes the High Performance Bitutainer™ ideal for operations where maintaining bitumen temperature over extended periods, or keeping energy consumption low are critical.
Can the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ be used in a bitumen storage facility?
Yes, the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™ is ideal for use in our modular storage facilities without the need for costly civil works or bunded tanks. Its enhanced thermal insulation ensures bitumen remains at optimal temperatures even during long-term storage. TEC’s Bitutainer Storage Facility concept utilises multiple units like these to create scalable, flexible storage hubs for both permanent and semi-permanent operations.
How does the thermal performance differ from other storage containers?
This model is engineered with enhanced 100-250mm mineral wool insulation options, allowing for superior thermal retention compared to standard bitumen storage tanks. This significantly reduces energy consumption during long-term storage and reheat cycles.
What heating systems are compatible with the High Performance Storage Bitutainer™?
The High Capacity Storage Bitutainer™ offers three heating options: electric elements, thermal oil connection or direct fire burner heating, ensuring bitumen remains at the required temperature for efficient unloading.
What additional equipment or accessories are available for these storage tanks?
TEC offers a full range of Ancillary Equipment to complement your storage tank, including level control instruments, monitoring equipment, and custom connection solutions to tailor the tank to your site’s operational needs.
