Advantages Of Large FRP Storage Tanks

Description: Large FRP storage tanks can effectively store most corrosive media, such as some highly concentrated chemical media, especially acids, alkalis, and salts. It avoids the cumbersome transportation process and adopts on-site processing. After processing, it can be directly installed and used, saving transportation costs and transportation time. The internal structure and physical properties can be optimized according to needs, especially the internal structure can be adjusted accordingly for both liquid and solid media.

Advantages of large FRP storage tanks:

Some large fiberglass storage tanks are the main storage equipment for large food and feed processing and manufacturing companies. They are popular among consumers for their large size, light weight and simple installation.

Some large-scale food processing companies in China often use this kind of super-large storage equipment. These large storage tanks are not only large in size but also have a short manufacturing cycle and simple materials. The production and processing technology is relatively fixed and they are generally processed on-site using the winding process. The equipment has the characteristics of strong pressure resistance, wide application range, corrosion resistance, and aging resistance.

The advantages of large FRP storage tanks can be summarized from the following four aspects:

1) It is designed and processed with a vertical storage tank structure. It occupies a smaller area than storage tanks made of other materials, but its capacity is about twice that of other storage tanks.

2) Can effectively store most corrosive media, such as highly concentrated chemical media, especially acids, alkalis, and salts.

3) It avoids the tedious transportation process and adopts the on-site processing method. After processing, it can be directly installed and used, saving transportation costs and time.

4) The internal structure and physical properties can be optimized according to the needs, especially the internal structure can make corresponding structural adjustments for liquid and solid media. The emergence of large-scale FRP tanks has changed the traditional storage pattern, avoiding large-scale land waste and adopting several FRP tank storage methods with smaller floor space, which has greatly enhanced the utilization rate of land.

During the production of large FRP storage tanks, a copper rod with a diameter of not less than 8mm is used to connect to the internal working surface of the tank bottom. The copper rod grounding wire should be reliably connected to the external grounding device inside and outside the tank through a disconnect card as much as possible. The grounding wire must not be shared with the lightning protection ground wire.

The grounding down conductor of the lightning protection net (belt) installed on the large fiberglass tank to prevent direct lightning strikes (third-class lightning protection building) should be insulated with PVC pipes to prevent the large peak and steepness of the required current from generating a large amount of heat on the down conductor and damaging the tank body. There should be no less than two independent grounding points for lightning protection and anti-static down conductors. The spacing between them should not be greater than 3om according to the metal tank down conductor method. The lightning protection and anti-static impact grounding resistances are 10 ohms and 100 ohms respectively.
