All about FRP tanks

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

In this article we&#;ll look at what an FRP tank is, what it is used for and its various applications in industry. It is important to understand that FRP tanks are manufactured to very strict safety and mechanical resistance standards.

At TECNIUM we produce high quality plastic industrial tanks, rectangular plastic tanks, and storage tanks for plastic and chemical use. TECNIUM is a plastic tank fabricator and manufacturer of FRP tanks of all different sizes.

What are the advantages of FRP storage tank?

FRP storage tank is widely used in chemical engineering, light industry, pharmacy, metallurgy, brewing, electrochemical water supply, sewage, petroleum refining, steelmaking, printing and dyeing, transportation, storage, food fermentation, fermentation, water treatment, seawater desalination, etc.

Fiberglass-reinforced plastic tanks are a great storage option for industries looking for a durable, customizable, and efficient way to store materials such as chemicals, fuels, wastewater, or potable water that is long-lasting and flexible. If you&#;re looking for a corrosion-resistant storage unit, this could be the storage option for you! FRP is an industry standard for oil, gas, and agriculture, and the standard for many big-name companies. But there are some basic things to remember when purchasing a fiberglass-reinforced plastic tank.

FRP stands for fiberglass-reinforced plastic.

What is FRP storage tank?

FRP Storage Tank is currently the leading industry standard tank on the market, due to its lightweight and strong fiberglass design, the FRP tank provides safe storage without the risk of corrosion or bacterial contamination.

With ideal design characteristics, shape performance, and ease of maintenance, compared with steel, FRP (fiberglass reinforced plastic) has high corrosion resistance and a specific gravity of 1.5 to 1.9, much lower than 7.8 for steel. However, its mechanical strength is higher than steel. It is also characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion and thermal insulation of the facades. FRP tank is widely used in many fields.

According to the media shape, FRP vessels can be divided into three categories:

Liquid, gas, and solid tank; According to the degree of pressure, it can be divided into two categories ATM tank and pressure tank; According to the shape of the tank, it can be divided into three categories: horizontal cylinder tank, vertical cylinder tank, rectangular tank; And PVC/FRP, PP/FRP, PVDF/FRP composite tanks.

Advantages of GFRP storage tank

1. High strength: The density is between 1.5 ~ 2.0, only 1/4 ~ 1/5 of carbon steel, but the tensile strength is close to or higher than that of carbon steel.
2. Good corrosion resistance
3. Good electrical performance
4. Safe for the environment
5. Light weight &#; easy handling
6. Smooth interior surface &#; less sludge formation, lower cleaning costs
7. It is an excellent insulating material used in the manufacture of insulators.

Applications where the fiberglass storage tank is used

Media that can be stored: inorganic acids, organic acids, bases and hydroxides, elements, gases and other inorganic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons, petroleum products, halogen-containing organic compounds and other organic compounds, etc.

Types of fiberglass tanks

• Vertical FRP tank
• Horizontal FRP tank
• Double wall FRP storage tank

What to do before purchasing an FRP tank

1. Buy from manufacturers that quality tests their products to ensure productivity and safety.
2. Buy from manufacturers that use only CSA and ANSI/NSF certified tested materials.
3. Understand and adhere to storage tank design limitations.
4. Thoroughly inspect new accessories or equipment before installation!
5. Inspect pumps, threads, and valves monthly to ensure operating standards.
6. Conducting weekly inspections for possible air or material leaks is essential!
7. Plan to store your FRP modules alone, away from other equipment, to avoid damage or cross-contamination, especially if you are storing chemicals, the modules should be separated!
8. All liquid materials must be drained regularly for maintenance, cleaning, and inspection.

What not to do before purchasing an FRP tank

1. Never buy from an unreputable source! Buying from a company not aware of testing, maintenance, and quality will cost you more in the long run, including safety.
2. Don&#;t guess which tank is compatible with which to store chemicals. If you&#;re not sure, ask an expert.
3. Never weld repairs or connect any new or replacement parts by welding. Welding can cause irreparable damage to the tank configuration and can cause leakage problems.
4. Never install an FRP tank or FRP storage unit without reinforcement in the base!
5. Do not place materials or equipment on the tank because external interference can compromise the integrity of the unit.
