Manufacturers of Fiber Reinforced Plastic (FRP) and Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) tanks are versatile, durable, and corrosion-resistant, making them popular in various industries. Here are some common applications:
1. Water Storage
Drinking Water: Used in municipal water storage systems and residential buildings because they are non-toxic and prevent water contamination.
Wastewater Treatment: Suitable for storing sewage and wastewater as they resist chemical corrosion.
Rainwater Harvesting: Ideal for capturing and storing rainwater, particularly in areas with water scarcity.
2. Chemical Storage
Industrial Chemicals: Widely used in chemical plants to store acids, alkalis, solvents, and other corrosive chemicals due to their high chemical resistance.
Petroleum Products: Can store oil, diesel, and other fuels safely.
Fertilizers and Pesticides: Used in agricultural industries for storing liquid fertilizers and pesticides, as they are resistant to chemicals.
3. Food and Beverage Industry
Beverage Storage: FRP/GRP tanks are safe for storing food-grade liquids like juices and milk.
Fermentation Tanks: Used in breweries and wineries, as they prevent contamination and can maintain product quality.
Food Processing Waste Storage: Ideal for storing waste byproducts due to their non-reactive nature.
4. Pharmaceuticals
Raw Material Storage: Used to store raw materials in the pharmaceutical industry, where contamination prevention is critical.
Effluent Storage: Useful for managing wastewater and effluents produced during manufacturing.
5. Firefighting Systems
FRP/GRP tanks are often installed in firefighting systems in buildings and industrial facilities to store large amounts of water for emergencies, as they can withstand high temperatures and pressure.
6. Aquaculture and Marine
Fish Farming: Suitable for fish farming and aquaculture due to their corrosion resistance and long lifespan.
Marine Applications: Used in boats and ships for water and fuel storage because of their resistance to saltwater and harsh marine environments.
7. Agricultural Applications
Irrigation Water Storage: Useful for storing water for irrigation, particularly in areas with limited freshwater availability.
Liquid Fertilizer Storage: Often used on farms to store liquid fertilizers and pesticides.
8. Mining and Metallurgy
Ore Leaching Tanks: Used in mining for chemical processes like leaching where corrosion resistance is necessary.
Effluent and Sludge Storage: Suitable for storing corrosive effluents and sludge from mining processes.
9. Septic and Underground Tanks
Septic Systems: Widely used as septic tanks because they are resistant to corrosion, have a long lifespan, and are less likely to leak compared to metal or concrete.
Biofuel Storage: Used to store biofuels as they are compatible with various organic and inorganic chemicals.
10. Desalination Plants
FRP/GRP tanks are used in desalination plants for storing brine, treated water, and other process-related liquids due to their high corrosion resistance, especially to saltwater.
Their lightweight, durability, and resistance to environmental factors make FRP/GRP tanks a reliable choice across multiple industries.
