What is FRP/GRP Water Tank?

FRP/GRP Water Tank: The Ultimate Solution for Water Storage

What is FRP/GRP Water Tank?

FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) and GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) water tanks are durable and versatile water storage solutions widely used in residential, commercial, and industrial settings. These tanks are constructed from high-quality materials that provide excellent resistance to corrosion, weathering, and chemicals, making them ideal for various applications.

Please visit our website for more information on this topic.

Why Choose FRP/GRP Water Tank?

FRP/GRP water tanks offer several advantages that make them a preferred choice for water storage:

  • Durability: Made from strong, reinforced plastic materials, these tanks are highly durable and can withstand harsh environmental conditions.
  • Corrosion Resistance: Unlike traditional metal tanks, FRP/GRP water tanks do not corrode, ensuring a longer lifespan and lower maintenance costs.
  • Lightweight and Modular: These tanks are easy to install, transport, and maintain, making them a flexible option for different storage needs.
  • Safe for Water Storage: They are non-toxic and safe for storing potable (drinking) water, ensuring the safety and quality of the water.

Applications of FRP/GRP Water Tanks in Singapore

FRP/GRP water tanks are highly versatile and can be used for a wide range of applications. In Singapore, these tanks are commonly used for both potable and non-potable purposes:

1. Potable Water Storage:

FRP/GRP water tanks are ideal for storing drinking water in various settings:

  • Residential Buildings: Used as rooftop or transfer tanks for drinking water supply.
  • Commercial and Industrial Buildings: Suitable for large-scale water storage requirements in hotels, offices, factories, and more.
  • High-Rise Buildings: Perfect for water storage in high-rise buildings where durability and safety are crucial.

2. Non-Potable Water Storage:

Apart from drinking water, FRP/GRP tanks are suitable for storing non-potable water for different industrial and commercial uses:

  • Cooling Tower Tanks: Used in HVAC systems for make-up water storage.
  • Rainwater Harvesting: Collect and store rainwater for landscaping, cleaning, or other non-potable uses.
  • Chemical Storage: Ideal for storing various chemicals, thanks to their high resistance to corrosion.
  • Industrial Storage: Suitable for storing industrial liquids, waste water, and other non-drinking water applications.

Regional Differences in Usage

The application of FRP/GRP water tanks can vary by region due to local regulations and needs. For instance:

  • In Cambodia, these tanks are widely used for fire protection, storing water for firefighting systems.
  • In Singapore, however, regulations do not typically permit FRP/GRP water tanks for fire protection, focusing more on their use for potable and industrial storage.

Conclusion

FRP/GRP water tanks are an excellent choice for both potable and non-potable water storage solutions in Singapore and other regions. Their durability, corrosion resistance, and modular nature make them a versatile option for various applications. Whether for drinking water in residential buildings or chemical storage in industrial settings, FRP/GRP water tanks provide a reliable and safe solution.

Overall, FRP/GRP Water Tanks are the modern solution to the current water needs.

What Is FRP Storage Tank

The FRP storage tank is currently the leading industry standard sealing device on the market. Due to its lightweight, robust and feasible glass fiber design, fiber reinforced plastic tanks provide safe storage without the risk of corrosion or bacterial contamination.

Features of FRP Storage Tank:

 

(1) High strength

The density is between 1.5~2.0, only 1/4~1/5 of carbon steel, but the tensile strength is close to or even higher than that of carbon steel

(2) Good corrosion resistance

(3) Good electrical performance

(4) Environmental safety

(5) Light weight-easy to carry

(6) Smooth inner surface-lower sludge formation, lower cleaning cost

It is an excellent insulating material for manufacturing insulators.

Advantages of Fibreglass Storage Tanks

 

The benefits of using Fibreglass as the material of choice are many. Some of the key benefits are listed below.

1. 100% Watertight

Fibreglass (FRP) tanks are manufactured as a completely sealed unit. Penetrations through the walls are made in the factory with compatible materials. There are no joints in the unit which are required to be sealed on site. This makes the tanks 100% watertight.

Being watertight has two distinct advantages. First, it prevents the ingress of other fluids and gases into the tank. There by avoiding contamination or dilution of the stored product. Second, it prevents the contamination of the surrounding area with chemicals leaking out of the storage tank.

2. Resistance to Chemical Attack

Fibreglass (FRP) was recognised early in its development as having a high resistance to chemical attack. GRP Tank Solutions carefully selects the most appropriate resin system for the required applications to ensure it meets the asset owners expectations.

3. Low Maintenance

Due to the smoothness of the glass resin interior surface of the Fibreglass (FRP) units, particles have difficulty adhering to the sides. The smooth walls of the Fibreglass (FRP) station mean the time taken and frequency of washing down the tanks and build-up of product on the tank walls is significantly reduced. Thereby reducing the operator&#;s maintenance costs and equipment downtime.

4. Ease of modifications during the life of the tank

During the life of any tank minor modifications are generally required to the external fixtures in the tank. For example, the addition of extra brackets etc. These can easily be added to the station by utilising Fibreglass (FRP) brackets or mounting plates which are &#;glassed&#; onto the internal walls at the required location. It is not necessary to drill through the wall for anchorage. As such the overall structural integrity and water tightness of the structure is not compromised.

5. Abrasion Resistance

The Fibreglass (FRP) tanks are manufactured to have high surface abrasion resistance. This is achieved by forming a layer of pure resin material at the surface which is not only smooth, thereby reducing friction, but also has high strength.

 

Application of Fiberglass Storage Tank

Storage media: inorganic acids, organic acids, bases and hydroxides, elements, gases and other inorganic compounds, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, esters, hydrocarbons and petroleum products, halogen-containing organic compounds and Other organic compounds and other media.

 

Types of Fiberglass Tanks

(1) Vertical FRP tank

(2) Horizontal FRP tank

(3) Double-layer FRP storage tank
