For plant operators, storing fuel, acids and chemicals in bulk quantities with safety is a major challenge. These regulated substances have the potential to cause catastrophic accidents and, therefore, they need to be handled with care and stored in proper vessels to prevent any spills or leaks at the worksite. Sodium hypochlorite is an […]
Fiberglass tanks are usually made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic which is a composite material used for chemical plant equipment. FRP tanks are used in numerous industrial and commercial applications including food and beverage, water and wastewater, chemical, power, energy, high-purity applications, and mining and metals. The range of applications and benefits provided by these tanks makes […]
When it comes to industrial applications, concrete and fiberglass are two common materials used for constructing storage tanks. However, since the tank can be used to store a wide variety of substances including food, minerals, or chemicals, careful thought needs to be given to the selection process. Objectively speaking, fiberglass tanks provide several benefits that […]
Plastic storage tanks are commonplace in many homes and industries. From storing a few hundred gallons of water to meeting daily needs of a single-family house to storing thousands of gallons of chemicals for manufacturing in an industry plant; we have plastic tanks for different purposes and capacities today. And while these tanks are inexpensive, […]
The average life expectancy of a fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) tank is 20–30 years. Compare that to the average life expectancy of a polyethylene storage tank (10–15 years), and you can see why agricultural producers, commercial industries and government agencies prefer using FRP tanks over polyethylene tanks to store and transport water, petroleum products, fertilizers, […]
Corrosion resistance makes the use of FRPs an economically acceptable and long-lasting solution. FRP is known to have a low weight-to-strength ratio. The high strength of FRPs plays a major role in applications like pultruded shapes and missiles. Here’s a breakdown of the perks of using FRP Products:
Fiber-reinforced plastics (FRP) are used in a wide range of commercial and industrial applications, including chemical, water, metals and energy applications. They are the top choice for these applications due to their high strength, high resistance to chemical exposure and long-term durability. They are also much lighter in weight than traditional concrete and steel, which […]
Different Types of FRP Coating and Containment Options Fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) laminates that are made for corrosion services are assembled using an array of materials and processes. These FRP materials are products of both the raw materials and construction processes used, which determine the properties of the materials. While the finished FRP laminates may appear different, […]
Wastewater systems are responsible for collecting and treating wastewater from homes, municipalities, rural developments, sanitary stations, commercial buildings, etc. They play a crucial role in supporting healthy, self-sufficient, and prosperous communities. When designing a wastewater system, engineers have to plan for many things to ensure the system does its job properly. For example, they must […]
Fiber Reinforced Plastics is applicable and useful in 6 ways. It can be used in automotive to make car lighter , faster and fuel efficient. One of the biggest advantages of FRP is resistance to corrosion that makes it ideal for tank and pipes that are used to store and transport corrosive chemical, acids, gasoline […]
