Upton Tanks, Inc was built around a simple idea: evaporative cooling systems work better when the sump is designed like the rest of the equipment, not treated like an afterthought. From our shop in Greencastle, Pennsylvania, we’ve focused on manufacturing centralized indoor sumps that address the real issues operators deal with, freeze protection concerns, air in the water, and the ongoing costs of extra controls and patchwork fixes.
Over time, we’ve learned where problems show up first in the field and how to build around them. That’s why our tanks are made from carbon steel or stainless steel plate, fully welded and structurally reinforced, and why every tank is leak-tested before any interior or exterior coating goes on.
Barry Thomas, the owner of Upton Tanks, Inc. has a background in the ASME pressure vessels, tanks, air conditioning, and industrial refrigeration businesses. He was Manager of OEM Pressure Vessels at Frick Company/York International for many years as well as Manager of Vessel Engineering. He was Heat Transfer Product Manager at Dunham-Bush in the air conditioning field.
He also owns and operates Thomas Sales, Inc. which represents an ASME pressure vessel manufacturer.
Early in his career he was a hydraulic tank/ fuel tank line supervisor and manufacturing engineer for a major mobile crane manufacturer as well as a plant superintendent of a wood stair processing plant and a produce processing plant.
Centralized indoor sumps sized and configured to serve multiple condensers and coolers, with options matched to your water system requirements.
Each tank is leak-tested before coatings are applied, so you’re not finding problems after installation.
Designs that help de-aerate water for better pump performance and fewer headaches.
A cleaner, more centralized setup that’s easier to inspect and service.
When you order a sump tank, you’re not just buying steel. You’re trying to protect uptime, control costs, and avoid winter surprises. Customers come to Upton Tanks, Inc because we manufacture purpose-built centralized indoor sumps with consistent construction, fully welded and reinforced, and a leak-test process that’s done before coating. The result is a sump system that helps reduce the need for heaters and controls, improves pump efficiency by reducing aeration, and simplifies the day-to-day maintenance burden.
Upton Tanks, Inc is based at 124 South Washington Street in Greencastle, PA. We work with facilities across the Continental USA and Canada that depend on evaporative cooled equipment. Even when we’re building for a site far from Franklin County, we keep the same small-town mindset: do it right, stand behind it, and make it easy to work with us.
