Installation projects. • 15 stationary and 5 onsite winding

machines.

Introduction

Characteristics of FRP

• Little to no maintenance is required

• A long product life span, up to 50 years

• High-performance insulation

• Abrasion and corrosion resistant

• Lightweight (1.8 g/cm3)

• High Chemical Resistance

• Delivery time • GRP replaces expensive alloys like Hastelloy, Super Duplex, Ni, as well as steel

rubber lined components.• Able to work with temperature limits of approximately – 50°C to 125°C

Fire retardance

• Fire retardant resins are tested according the ASTM E 84 (Steiner tunnel test) and have class 1 flame rating of 25 or less.

• Normal FRP is classified as : DIN 4102 B2 and ASTM E84 class 2• Bigger wall thickness and 9 x higher heat transfer factor means that the liquid will

not heat up as fast in a steel tank and it will take much more time that the liquid will start to boil. Boiling liquid is a major problem during an inferno.

• Because of the thicker wall and higher safety

factor (7-10 in case of FRP and 1,5 -2 to steel) 

a FRP tank will stay longer.• The mechanical properties of steel reduces

fast above the  260 °C. ( SS -40% at 260 °C).

The tank will have a uncontrolled collapse.

What to store

Fiberglass Components are corrosion and chemical resistant, so that you can store different types of (aggressive) fluids such as:

- Flue gases- Lime slurry- Water- Caustic Solutions

- Hydrochloric Acid- Sulphur Acid- Phosphoric Acid- Acid solutions- Other Acids- Brines

- Salt solutions- Chlorides- Caustic Liquides- Fuels- Fertilizers- Starch solutions- Vegetable oils

PRODUCTION

PRODUCTION

Variable mould

Step-less variation of mould diameter

- 1 mould for 4 – 7,5 m

- 1 mould for 7 – 12,5 m

- 1 mould for 12 – 21 m

Mould diameter can be changed within a day

No (new) mould investment for each product

Economical advantage for projects that require a wide

variety of (large diameter) products i.e. tanks
