5 Must-Have Features in a FRP Backwater Tank Factory

The FRP storage tank is currently the leading industry standard sealing device on the market. Due to its lightweight, robust and feasible glass fiber design, fiber reinforced plastic tanks provide safe storage without the risk of corrosion or bacterial contamination.

With competitive price and timely delivery, Yongchang sincerely hope to be your supplier and partner.

GRP/FRP On-Site Large Storage Tank

Features of FRP 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 even higher than that of carbon steel

(2) Good corrosion resistance

(3) Good electrical performance

(4) Environmental safety

(5) Light weight-easy to carry

(6) Smooth inner surface-lower sludge formation, lower cleaning cost

It is an excellent insulating material for manufacturing insulators.

Advantages of Fibreglass Storage Tanks

The benefits of using Fibreglass as the material of choice are many. Some of the key benefits are listed below.

1. 100% Watertight

Fibreglass (FRP) tanks are manufactured as a completely sealed unit. Penetrations through the walls are made in the factory with compatible materials. There are no joints in the unit which are required to be sealed on site. This makes the tanks 100% watertight.

Being watertight has two distinct advantages. First, it prevents the ingress of other fluids and gases into the tank. There by avoiding contamination or dilution of the stored product. Second, it prevents the contamination of the surrounding area with chemicals leaking out of the storage tank.

2. Resistance to Chemical Attack

Fibreglass (FRP) was recognised early in its development as having a high resistance to chemical attack. GRP Tank Solutions carefully selects the most appropriate resin system for the required applications to ensure it meets the asset owners expectations.

3. Low Maintenance

Due to the smoothness of the glass resin interior surface of the Fibreglass (FRP) units, particles have difficulty adhering to the sides. The smooth walls of the Fibreglass (FRP) station mean the time taken and frequency of washing down the tanks and build-up of product on the tank walls is significantly reduced. Thereby reducing the operator&#;s maintenance costs and equipment downtime.

4. Ease of modifications during the life of the tank

During the life of any tank minor modifications are generally required to the external fixtures in the tank. For example, the addition of extra brackets etc. These can easily be added to the station by utilising Fibreglass (FRP) brackets or mounting plates which are &#;glassed&#; onto the internal walls at the required location. It is not necessary to drill through the wall for anchorage. As such the overall structural integrity and water tightness of the structure is not compromised.

5. Abrasion Resistance

The Fibreglass (FRP) tanks are manufactured to have high surface abrasion resistance. This is achieved by forming a layer of pure resin material at the surface which is not only smooth, thereby reducing friction, but also has high strength.

Application of Fiberglass Storage Tank

Storage media: inorganic acids, organic acids, bases and hydroxides, elements, gases and other inorganic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons and petroleum products, halogen-containing organic compounds and Other organic compounds and other media.

Water is the source of life and we all deserve access to clean drinking water. Providing drinking water to rural areas can prove difficult, but at LANDYOUNG we are committed to providing solutions! For rural communities and remote areas or farms, drinking water is still a daily necessity and many people have found creative ways to store it. However, when it comes to how we store water, you want to choose a storage unit that is durable and will stand the test of time, while keeping your water safe. That's why choosing an FRP tank may be the best choice for you! 

FRP or glass fibre-reinforced plastic storage tanks offer significant advantages over other commercial materials. Over the years, various materials have been used to construct industrial water tanks. Many integrated systems consist of unreinforced concrete or polyethene and steel, but they do not necessarily offer the same advantages as FRP. So, what are the advantages of fibreglass?

FRP Tank

1. High strength-to-weight ratio

FRP is not only durable but also lightweight. On average, FRP is approximately 5.5 times lighter than similar steel parts and 75% lighter than comparable aluminium parts. This lightweight property of FRP products makes installation easier. (Easier installation means lower installation costs!)

2. Economical

A considerable advantage of FRP is its low cost. FRP is almost one-sixth the price of stainless steel or carbon steel. In many cases, FRP offers both a satisfactory solution to corrosion problems and the lowest cost of material options. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, FRP can save over 70% in maintenance costs.

3. Non-conductive/EMI and RFI transparency

When you have equipment or instruments that depend on accurate readings, electromagnetic interference (EMI) or radio frequency interference (RFI) is critical. FRP materials are transparent to EMI and RFI. In addition, FRP is non-conductive and therefore works well as an electrical insulator.

4. Corrosion resistance

The main reason for using glass fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) is its inherent resistance to corrosion. Suppose you need a product that will be exposed to the high salt content of fresh water, salt water, sanitary water or even the air near the sea. In this case, corrosion-resistant FRP is the material for you. In combination with the right resin, FRP can withstand the most corrosive environments.

5. Flexibility

Compared to metal, fibreglass can be made into many different shapes and sizes with relative ease. It is most suitable for many applications because you can do things with it that cannot be done economically with other materials. You can shape almost any configuration or device. You can even use FRP to arrange existing structures.

As far as water storage systems are concerned, FRP water tanks are at the top of the list. It is second to none in terms of economy, customisation and strength compared to other products in the industry.
