GRP Tanks
Manufacturing Technique
- Filament winding :
This is the winding of wire form material or tape around a reference mandrel.
Contact molding :
This is the simplest method of composite products, which allows you to create different shapes that they need only surface finishing.
Simultaneous projection
Horizontal Tanks
This type of tanks are the most suitable for surface facilities that have a height restriction due to urban planning requirements, visual impact, or the available space limitation…
GCER offers a range of horizontal tanks in SVR – GRP or SVR – GRP with a thermoplastic liner.
These tanks can be of the following forms :
• RCMP or PRC bottomed tanks
• Flat bottomed tanks
• Tanks with hemispherical bottom
The design is made on the basis of the European standard EN 13121–3 or according to various global standards.
The maximum achievable diameter is of Ø 6000mm but on request we can make tanks with smaller diameters.
Vertical tanks on apron
Vertical tanks with apron are built in SVR – GRP or SVR – GRP with a thermoplastic liner.
The design is made on the basis of the European standard EN 13121–3 or according to various global standards.
These tanks usually have the upper and lower ends rounded, but it is possible to have flat or conical bottoms.
The standard volumes range from 1 to 150m³ and diameters range from 1 m to 4 m.
Vertical tanks on foot
These tanks are used to hold food or industrial products. Their features allow the tank to be emptied from time to time completely. This format is ideal for the storage of products that have very strict health requirements, products that need a thorough cleaning of the tank after draining liquids which have rich sedimentary impurities content, etc.
Vertical tanks on legs are built in SVR – GRP or SVR – GRP with a thermoplastic liner.
The design is made on the basis of the European standard EN 13121–3 or according to various global standards.
These tanks usually have the upper and lower ends rounded, but it is possible to have the upper flat bottomed.
Standard volumes range from 1 to 60 m³, standard diameters can vary from 1000 to 3000 mm.
On request, we can carry on tanks with smaller diameters.
Vertical tanks with flat bottom
This is the most suitable for air storage facility forms. That usually is due to their low cost and ease of installation directly on a concrete slab without any additional operation.
Vertical flat bottom tanks are built in SVR – GRP or SVR – GRP with a thermoplastic liner.
The design of the tanks in SVR – GRP is made on the basis of the European standard EN 13121-3.
Alternately in all standards BS 4994, ASTM D 3299, ASTM D-4097, AD 2000 Merkblatt-N1, NF T57-900, ASMEX and ASME RTP-1.
Generally, SVR – GRP tanks are with a RCMP or CRP roof shape, but according to the project or application they can be with :
• A flat sloping bottom
• A flat roof or a partial roof
• A conical roof
• Roofless
The shell is made by filament winding process,
funds and accessories by contact molding in or projection.
The shell is made by a filament winding process, funds and accessories by contact molding in or projection.
The maximum achievable diameter is Ø 6000mm
Vertical flat bottomed tanks are placed on concrete pedestals made by the customer.
Cuves enterrées
C’est la forme la plus adaptée en installations de stockage aérien.
Cela est généralement dû à leur faible coût et leur facilité d’installation directement sur une dalle en béton sans aucune autre opération supplémentaire.
Les réservoirs verticaux à fond plat sont construits en SVR – GRP ou SVR – GRP avec un liner thermoplastique.
Cuves double parois
Les réservoirs doubles parois sont dédiés aux liquides potentiellement dangereux.
Deux configurations possibles :
• Réservoir cylindrique vertical renforcé avec à une rétention supplémentaire
• Réservoir horizontal totalement confiné dans un réservoir de rétention
La surveillance de fluide est assurée par dispositif de détection des fuites.
Cuves de transport
Les réservoirs en SVR sont adaptés pour le transport routier de produits chimiques et de produits alimentaires.
Un réservoir de transport est équipé principalement de :
• Équipements de service (tubulures, tuyauteries, vanneries, pompes, système de nettoyage)
• Structure de fixation sur camion
La capacité de réservoir de transport varie de 1m3 à 25m3
