Understanding Process Design Data

Before selecting an FRP storage tank, it's crucial to collect vital data about the medium to be stored. Factors such as operational temperature, pressure, vapor pressure, corrosiveness, and inlet and outlet volumes are paramount. The resin type required for these conditions may vary in cost and performance, and the thickness of the FRP shell may differ based on the quality desired. Gathered data forms the basis for sound design decisions.

Choosing the Right Materials

When dealing with chemicals, the corrosive characteristics of the substance to be stored must dictate your choice of storage materials. Depending on the application's pressure and temperature, you may opt for enameled tanks or glass-lined vessels. Alternatively, steel pressure vessels can be lined with various materials, such as rubber or PTFE, to enhance corrosion resistance.

Identifying the Type of Storage Tank

The type of storage container you're considering—horizontal, vertical, or specific head type—should align with your process requirements. Based on national standards, select a container type that fits the desired operational parameters.

Additionally, pay attention to the quality of the FRP tank's supporting steel frame; there are price variations for similar materials. Ensure you select strong, durable materials to avoid compromising your container’s integrity.

Consider the distribution section of the GRP tank, which may be either fixed or rotary and encompasses all necessary piping components.

Assessing Dimension Requirements

Selecting the right volume for your storage tank is crucial, based on factors such as tank type, stored material nature, space availability, and equipment handling capacity. To establish optimal volume, divide the total expected material volume by the chosen tank’s volume capacity. After this determination, evaluate the diameter and length of the tank, ensuring the proportions are both aesthetically pleasing and practical for your work environment.

The insights shared above regarding the selection criteria for FRP storage tanks, as introduced by WEITONG, are designed to assist you in making the best purchasing decisions for your storage needs.
