Description

GRP Sectional Tanks

Global Tankcom excels in the supply and installation of GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) sectional tanks, renowned for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. These tanks are crafted from high-strength fiberglass and resin, offering exceptional performance in various applications.

Engineering and Technical Details:

  1. Material Composition:

    • Fiberglass Reinforcement: GRP tanks are composed of multiple layers of high-strength glass fibers embedded in a matrix of resin. The fiberglass reinforcement provides excellent structural integrity and dimensional stability.

    • Resin Matrix: The resin matrix is typically polyester or vinyl ester, chosen for its chemical resistance and ability to bond with the fiberglass reinforcement. This combination ensures the tank's durability and longevity even in harsh environments.

  2. Panel Construction:

    • Prefabricated Panels: GRP sectional tanks are constructed from prefabricated panels, each typically 1m x 1m in size, that are assembled on-site. These panels are manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure uniform quality and performance.

    • Panel Thickness: Panels range in thickness from 5mm to 25mm, depending on the tank size and design specifications. Thicker panels are used for larger tanks or where additional structural strength is required.

  3. Design Features:

    • Reinforcements: Critical stress areas of the tank, such as corners and panel joints, are reinforced with additional fiberglass layers or structural supports. This enhances the tank's resistance to internal and external forces.

    • Anti-Corrosive Coating: The exterior surface of GRP tanks may be coated with a gel coat or resin-rich layer to provide additional protection against UV radiation and environmental degradation.

  4. Installation Method:

    • Bolted Assembly: Panels are bolted together using stainless steel fasteners and sealed with a flexible, chemical-resistant sealant. This modular construction method allows for quick and efficient installation, reducing construction time and labor costs.

    • Flexibility in Configuration: Tanks can be configured in various shapes and sizes to fit specific spatial constraints or project requirements. Additional panels or accessories, such as access hatches and overflow pipes, can be easily integrated into the tank design.

  5. Performance Characteristics:

    • Corrosion Resistance: GRP tanks are inherently resistant to corrosion from a wide range of chemicals, making them suitable for storing acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances.

    • Lightweight and Durable: Despite their robust construction, GRP tanks are lightweight compared to traditional metal tanks, facilitating easier transport and installation.

    • Temperature Resistance: GRP materials exhibit good thermal insulation properties and can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications.
