Horizontal Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Storage Tank

Product Structure

• Filament-Wound Shell: Multiple layers of high-strength glass fiber and premium resin wound precisely for maximum hoop and axial strength.

• Corrosion-Resistant Inner Liner: A specialized resin-rich internal layer designed to be chemically inert to the stored medium.

• Integrated Lifting Lugs: Reinforced attachment points (as shown in the image) for safe crane hoisting and precise installation.

• Structural Ribs: External circumferential reinforcements to provide additional stiffness against soil pressure and vacuum loads.

• Flanged Nozzle Ports: Precision-molded inlets, outlets, and manways for secure, leak-proof piping connections.

• Support Saddles/Anti-Floatation Points: Designed to secure the tank to concrete pads, particularly in high-water-table underground installations.

Product Advantages

• Total Corrosion Resistance: Inherently immune to both internal chemical attack and external soil-side corrosion; requires no cathodic protection.

• Lightweight Efficiency: Significantly lighter than steel tanks, drastically reducing transportation costs and simplifying on-site crane requirements.

• Zero Maintenance: Unlike metal tanks, FRP does not require periodic exterior repainting or interior lining repairs.

• High Structural Integrity: Engineered to withstand heavy soil overburden and hydrostatic pressure in underground applications.

• Long Service Life: Designed for a maintenance-free operational life exceeding 30 years in buried conditions.
