Our Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) tanks come in a wide assortment of shapes, sizes and capacities to meet virtually any storage and processing need. We practice hand lay-up (contact molded) and chop/hoop and helical-wound (filament wound) construction.

Tank configurations include:

• vertical and horizontal with flat, cone, dished or sloped bottom.
• vertical and horizontal with tops in single or double wall with secondary containment.
• Capacities range up to 40,000 gallons with diameters ranging from 12 inches to 20 feet.
• These structures are highly resistant to a variety of chemicals, corrosive environments and ultraviolet light.

We offer a variety of resin systems to suit the client’s specific type of application including:

• polyester
• vinyl ester
• novalac vinyl ester
• fire-retardant

• Operating temperatures reach up to 220 deg F depending on the resin system selected.

The inner surface of our tanks come with either:

• glass
• nexus
• any other synthetic veil

For optimum corrosion resistance, exterior surface treatments include:

• resin-rich topcoat
• pigmented gel coat
• chemical resistant glass veil
• nexus veil
• or other synthetic veils

Standards:

Tanks and vessels are manufactured to national standards including:

• ASTM D3982
• SPI’s Quality Assurance Report
• ANSI/AWWA D120
• and more as applicable

Advantages of Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Tanks and Process Vessels:

Where metals reach their limits for chemical resistance, maintenance, or economic reasons, fiberglass tanks and vessels reach beyond. They are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and above all, maintenance free.

• Highly resistant to most of the chemicals used today
• Will not crack, chip, peel, rust, rot or decay
• A greater strength by weight than steel
• Resistant to ultra-violet light and plant corrosive environments
• When insulated and/or heat traced, they provide excellent thermal insulation with low heat loss.
• Resistant to galvanic and stray electrical currents, a feature not available in many other materials.
