Making fiberglass tank (GRP)

The construction of tanks is a topic of significant importance across various industries. These industries utilize tanks for storing water, acids, chemicals, food substances, and more. The material of these tanks can vary, including options like Fiberglass, Polyethylene, or metal (steel). Fiberglass tanks, in particular, are highly favored due to their excellent resistance to corrosion caused by chemical effects, their ability to store very high volumes, their lightweight nature, and cost-effectiveness. The fabrication of fiberglass tanks can be carried out in various shapes: spherical, cylindrical, and cubical.

Designing and manufacturing all types of fiberglass tanks with the scientific term GRP

فایبرگلاس به عنوان یک ماده با قدرت بالا، وزن کم، مقاومت در برابر خوردگی، مقاومت در برابر آب و هوا و بسیاری از ویژگی های مطلوب آن، در اکثر صنایع کاربرد دارد؛ بویژه به علت مقاومت آن در برابر خوردگی ناشی از عوارض شیمیایی در ساخت مخازن کاربرد زیادی دارد.

مخازن فایبرگلاس (Grp) می تواند در طیف گسترده ای از اشکال و اندازه ها برای ذخیره سازی انواع مواد ساخته شود.

Making a fiberglass tank

Construction of the tank has various capacities for different industries and covers storage capacity from 1000 liters to 1,000,000 liters. Compared to other types of tanks, fiberglass tanks have many advantages and features. fiberglass tank can have very high storage capacity. They can be used to store drinking water, acid tanks, oil tanks, waste water, granular solids such as fertilizer and grain, poisons and pesticides and a variety of other materials.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic is pressure resistant and has high tensile strength and can be expected to hold a wide variety of products for a long time.

Fiberglass tanks (GRP) are used in various industries such as oil, automobile, sewage, agriculture, food, etc.

Why should a fiberglass tank be used?

Some of the most important features of fiberglass tanks are:

• High resistance to corrosion
• High tensile strength and flexibility
• Ease of formulation and design, to be used for different uses, products and temperatures
• Ease of repair and reconfiguration
• Durable, affordable and economical
• long life
• Compared to the weight, 12 times stronger than steel
• High strength to bear heavy weights
• Ease of transportation and loading
• Structural design
• Lower cost for large to medium volumes
• UV resistant
• Resistant to exposure to environmental effects
• Possibility of changes in tank compositions for above ground or underground use

Artacomposite produces fiberglass tanks

Arta composite produces fiberglass tanks

• Standing cylindrical tanks
• Horizontal cylindrical tanks
• Spherical tanks
• Cubic tanks

Choosing which type of fiberglass tank is useful for different industries is a specialized discussion that requires technical review and expert advice.

For example, it can be said that in most countries, including Iran, spherical tanks are used to store food such as olives and pickles. In construction of the tank for food storage, the point that should be taken into consideration is that these tanks can be produced both on the surface and under the surface (burial). Burial tanks are mainly used in places where space is limited. Or it is used for making oxidation tanks of lying cylindrical type. Also, cubic tanks are used to store water for very high volumes.

Not all fiberglass is created equal

Breakdowns and problems occur when the construction of fiberglass tanks is not done according to the conditions and needs of the project, or standard quality procedures are not followed in the construction process.

Most of the applicants for the construction of fiberglass tanks in various industries, because they are not familiar enough with the details and subtleties of the fiberglass industry, so it is sometimes seen that they do not specify the specifications and details of their project correctly, and after the completion of the project, the produced tanks do not meet their needs. It does not happen that most of these problems occur due to different grades of resin and glass and their combinations for different projects.

Therefore, Fajar Sablan Entrepreneurs Company with the brand "Arta Composite" is one of the most prominent fiberglass tank manufacturers in the country, which has completed large projects for various industries during this time.

Classes and characteristics of polyester resin for use in tank construction:

• (Orthophthalic Resin): For General Purpose: Orthophthalic is usually known as general purpose resin, it provides the basic consistency properties, but its corrosion resistance and air stability are average. Most fiberglass tank manufacturers make their standard tank using orthophthalic resin systems.
• (Isophthalic Resin): Advanced chemical resistance, resistance and durability against stretching, corrosion and wear: Isophthalic resin is used when a higher degree of corrosion resistance is needed. Isophthalic resins have increased chemical resistance, tensile strength, durability and wear resistance. Due to these characteristics, large and advanced companies in the world generally use the isophthalic resin system in the design and construction of their standard fiberglass tank to provide their customers with a durable, high-quality, and long-lasting tank.
• (Vinyl Ester Resin Systems): The highest quality and resistance to chemicals and heat, which are used in certain industrial uses: vinyl ester resin provides the highest quality of chemical resistance. Vinyl ester resins eliminate almost all vapor and moisture transfer, which is an excellent agent for containing corrosive liquids. Vinyl ester resin also provides excellent heat resistance along with corrosion resistance. Vinyl ester resins are hydrolytically stable, which increase performance in chemical resistance, tensile strength, corrosion and adhesive properties. "Arta Composite" strengthens and improves all welds, connections and flanges of fiberglass tanks using Vinyl Ester resin.

As you can see, choosing a tank suitable for the desired industry is a specialized issue, so it is better to choose reputable companies for their production and construction.
