While domestic users look at 1,000L–5,000L, industrial and municipal high-volume users require capacities that can sustain operations during prolonged supply outages.

• The “Megalitre” Standard: SBS Tanks provides a massive range, from 12,000 litres to over 4.2 million litres (4.2 megalitres). For example, a single installation for a large facility like Kenyan Wine Agencies (KWAL) can exceed 1 million litres for fire suppression and process water alone.

• Community & Municipal Impact: In the heart of Nairobi, sites like Imara Daima utilize tanks with capacities around 376,000 litres (376kL) to serve schools and churches, while municipal “tank farms” can reach over 9 million litres to feed entire community supply networks.

• Strategic Autonomy: The goal is usually “Water Independence”—calculating the daily consumption and multiplying it by a risk factor (e.g., a 7-day municipal outage) to determine the final kL capacity.
