FRP horizontal tank

Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are widely used in various industries and have the characteristics of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and long service life. They are mainly composed of natural resin as a binder, lining layer, anti-leakage layer, fiber-woven reinforcement layer, and surface layer. The relative density of these tanks is between 1.5 to 2.0, which is only 1/4 to 1/5 that of carbon steel, but their tensile strength is close to or even exceeds that of carbon steel, demonstrating high specific strength.

The advantages of glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks mainly include:

1. Light weight and high strength: The relative density of glass fiber reinforced plastic is 1.5 to 2.0, which means that in the same weight, glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks can bear higher loads.

2. Good corrosion resistance: Glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks have good resistance to medium corrosion and can resist the erosion of various acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents. This makes them particularly suitable for storing media with chemical or electrochemical corrosion.

3. Long service life: Due to the use of high molecular composite materials and alkali-free glass fiber materials, with an inner glass fiber reinforced plastic reinforcement and rich resin layer glass fiber reinforced plastic lining, without the need for carbon steel reinforcement materials, they have a longer service life.

4. High sealing performance: Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are designed with good sealing performance and can effectively prevent liquid leakage. This is particularly important for applications that require strict control of medium leakage.

5. Strong design flexibility: Glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks have high design flexibility and can be customized according to different application requirements. This flexibility makes glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks suitable for a wide range of applications in industries such as chemicals, environmental protection, food, and pharmaceuticals.

6. Good thermal insulation and electrical insulation performance: Glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks have good thermal insulation performance, which helps reduce energy waste and production process energy consumption. At the same time, they also have good electrical insulation performance and are suitable for applications that require insulation or temperature control.

7. Low comprehensive cost and economic operation cost: Due to the light weight, high strength, good corrosion resistance, and long service life of glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks, their comprehensive cost is low and the operation cost is economical.

Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are mainly used in the following fields:

1. Chemical industry: Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are used in the chemical industry for storing various chemicals, such as acid-base solutions, organic solvents, etc. This is due to their corrosion resistance, which can resist the erosion of various acids, alkalis, salts, and organic solvents.

2. Petroleum industry: In the petroleum industry, glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are used as petroleum storage tanks for storing crude oil or petroleum products. This is also supported by other data, indicating that glass fiber reinforced plastic storage tanks are used in the petroleum and chemical industries for storing petroleum, natural gas, chemicals, and other liquid or gas media.

3. Food industry: Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are used in the food industry mainly for storing liquid food. Their non-toxic and corrosion-resistant properties make them an ideal choice for storing food.

4. Pharmaceutical industry: In the pharmaceutical industry, glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are also widely used for storing various chemical reagents and finished products during the production process of pharmaceuticals.

5. Environmental protection industry: Glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are also used in the environmental protection industry, for example, in the water treatment industry, for storing chemicals or other substances that need to be stored during the treatment process.

6. Other industries: In addition to the above industries, glass fiber reinforced plastic horizontal storage tanks are also used in papermaking, electronics, packaging transportation, and other fields, as well as in black metallurgy, non-ferrous metallurgy, power industry, coal industry, and other industries.
