Starting a small chemical blending operation in Sohar, any local tank suppliers?

[keithmarsden]

Just signed a lease on a small warehouse in the Sohar industrial area and I'm piecing together my setup for blending industrial degreasers and detergents. I've been trying to find IBC Tanks in Sohar that are UN approved for holding concentrated raw materials like surfactants and acids before blending, but most of the suppliers I've called seem to only stock general purpose units or they want me to buy a whole container load from Dubai. I don't need massive quantities yet, maybe six to eight tanks to start, but they absolutely have to be certified because the local inspectors are apparently pretty strict about chemical storage around here. Has anyone worked with a decent supplier between Sohar and Buraimi who actually keeps UN rated stock on hand? Also curious if anyone's had luck with those refurbished and recertified units, or is that asking for trouble with corrosive stuff? Really don't want to cut corners but the budget is already stretched thin from the warehouse deposit. Thanks in advance.
