Fiber Reinforces Plastic Tank

IMG_1924.JPG

Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Tanks are composite storage vessels fabricated using a polymer matrix (typically a thermosetting resin) reinforced with high-strength fibers, usually glass fibers (E-glass, C-glass, or S-glass). The combination provides excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, making FRP tanks suitable for a wide range of industrial applications.

Primary Constituents:

  • Resin Matrix: Acts as the binding agent and provides chemical and thermal resistance.

    • Common Resin Systems:

      • Isophthalic Polyester Resin – General chemical resistance.

      • Vinyl Ester Resin – Enhanced corrosion resistance, especially to acids and solvents.

      • Epoxy Resin – High strength, superior bonding, and chemical resistance.

  • Reinforcement Fibers:

    • Glass fibers (typically E-glass) are used in chopped strand mats, woven roving, or continuous filament windings.

    • Carbon or aramid fibers may be used for specialized applications requiring high tensile strength or stiffness.

  • Optional Layers:

    • Chemical Barrier/Corrosion Liner: A resin-rich inner layer with surfacing veil (typically C-glass or synthetic veil) to prevent permeation.

    • Structural Layer: Built up through multiple layers of fiber reinforcement to provide mechanical integrity.

Application

  • Chemical Processing Plants:Storage of hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, caustic soda, sodium hypochlorite, etc.

  • Water and Wastewater Treatment Facilities: Clarifiers, sludge holding, chlorination tanks, aeration basins.

  • Power Generation Plants: Demineralized water tanks, flue gas desulfurization systems.

  • Petroleum and Petrochemical: Brine tanks, firewater tanks, separator vessels.

  • Food & Beverage: Non-reactive tanks for storing process water, syrups, and organic acids.

  • Agriculture and Fertilizers: Urea solution storage, liquid fertilizers, pesticide tanks.

Orientation

  • Superior Corrosion Resistance:
    Resistant to a wide range of acids, bases, salts, and organic solvents.

  • High Strength-to-Weight Ratio:
    Lightweight yet strong, allowing for easier transport, installation, and lower foundation requirements.

  • Design Flexibility:
    Customizable in volume (from a few hundred liters to hundreds of cubic meters), shape (cylindrical, rectangular, conical), and pressure rating.

  • Electrical Insulation:
    Non-conductive and suitable for use in high-voltage or EMI-sensitive areas.

  • Thermal Insulation:
    Low thermal conductivity reduces external heat gain/loss, minimizing the need for additional insulation in many cases.

  • Long Service Life:
    Typical design life of 20–30 years with minimal maintenance, especially when proper resin and liner selection is made based on the service medium.
