GRP Silos storage

Design and Fabrication of GRP Silos storage: Innovative Solutions for Optimal Stability

For silos storage with a diameter of 1500 mm or less, the frames are typically made with metal legs. This design allows for an even distribution of weight and ensures optimal stability of the silo. For larger silos, the frames are constructed from a rolled ring, an advanced manufacturing technique that provides better weight distribution and ease of installation and maintenance. Support legs extend from this ring, ensuring a robust and durable structure capable of bearing significant loads.

Advanced Decantation Techniques to Optimize the Efficiency of GRP Clarifiers

The decantation techniques used in GRP clarifiers include gravity decantation and centrifugal decantation. The former relies on the difference in density between solids and liquids to enable separation, while the latter uses centrifugal force to accelerate this process. These techniques, combined with advanced composite material technology, ensure maximum efficiency and optimal waste management.

Manufacturing Process of GRP Clarifiers and Silos at GCER

GCER uses advanced manufacturing techniques such as filament winding, hand lay-up molding, and simultaneous spraying to produce high-quality GRP clarifiers and silos. These methods ensure material uniformity and optimal mechanical strength while allowing great flexibility in the design and customization of products.

Filament Winding

This technique involves winding resin-impregnated glass fibers around a rotating mandrel, creating a solid and uniform composite structure. Filament winding allows precise control of the thickness and orientation of the fibers, providing exceptional mechanical strength.

Hand Lay-Up Molding

Hand lay-up molding is a manual method that involves applying layers of glass fiber and resin onto a mold. This technique is particularly suitable for manufacturing small parts and complex shapes, ensuring high precision and superior quality.

Simultaneous Spraying

Simultaneous spraying combines the simultaneous application of glass fibers and resin onto a mold using a spray gun. This method allows for the rapid and efficient production of composite parts while ensuring excellent adhesion and high strength.

Applications of GRP Clarifiers: Performance and Durability Across Various Sectors

GRP decanters are essential in solids and liquids separation processes, commonly used in the chemical, petrochemical, food and water treatment industries. Their chemical and mechanical resistance ensures optimum performance and long service life, even in demanding environments.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is a composite material combining polyester resin and glass fibers. This combination gives it high mechanical strength, excellent durability, and remarkable chemical resistance.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is a composite material offering an exceptional combination of lightness, mechanical strength, and durability. It is distinguished by its high resistance to corrosion, chemicals, and extreme environmental conditions, making it ideal for a wide range of industrial applications. In addition, its design flexibility allows for the manufacture of custom structures, optimizing the performance and longevity of equipment.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) cannot be recycled in the same way as traditional plastics. Due to its composite composition—a polymer matrix reinforced with glass fibers—conventional mechanical recycling is difficult. However, there are specialized processes for recovering end-of-life materials, including energy recovery or grinding techniques and reuse in secondary applications (fillers, construction materials, etc.). In addition, research is underway to develop more sustainable recycling methods for composites. GCER remains attentive to these technological developments in order to integrate environmentally friendly solutions into its processes.

GCER operates in various sectors, including : • Water and water desalination • Wastewater • Chemicals • Agri-food • Energy • Mining • Oil • Environment • Industrial processes

GCER specializes in : • Composite materials (GRP) • Thermoplastics such as HDPE, PVC, PPH, PVDF, PVC-C, ECTFE, and PFA • Metal construction

To find out if thermoplastic or GRP equipment has reached the end of its service life, check for : • Cracks or deformations. • Loss of resistance to stress. • Leaks or damaged seals. • Reduced performance after testing or inspections. It is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations and carry out regular checks.

GRP (Glass Reinforced Polyester) is generally more expensive than thermoplastics. This difference is due to a more complex manufacturing process and the use of reinforced materials. However, GRP offers better mechanical and chemical resistance, making it ideal for demanding applications.
