How to choose a fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tank


Release time:

2020/07/02

In recent years, fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks have been widely used. Below, we will explain several important criteria for selecting fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks in detail. (1) Material selection for fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: The corrosiveness of the medium and the service life are important factors to consider when choosing the material for the storage tank. Generally, the service life of fiberglass storage tanks needs to be judged based on the corrosive materials, operating pressure, and operating temperature, which can help in selecting fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks. (2) Reference data for specifications of fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: After calculations and heat estimations, we first need to refer to the dimensions of the storage tank size we require.

How to choose a fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tank

In recent years, fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks have been widely used. Below, we will explain in detail the several important criteria for selecting fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks.

(1) Material selection for fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: When selecting a storage tank, the corrosiveness of the medium and the service life are important factors to consider for the tank material. Generally, the service life of fiberglass storage tanks needs to be judged based on the corrosive materials, operating pressure, and operating temperature, so this aspect is important.

(2) Reference data for specifications of fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: After calculations and heat estimates, we first need to refer to the size of the storage tank we need. Based on the expected size, regional temperature, pressure, and the corrosiveness of the medium, we can select the fiberglass storage tank. Only in this way can we choose the most suitable fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tank.

(3) Model of fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: There are many specifications and models of storage tanks. We need to choose based on the requirements of the process conditions during planning, selecting a model from the national standard series of containers that meets the requirements in terms of parameters (operating pressure, temperature, medium, volume) for the overall volume of materials needed by the workers.

(4) Standards for fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks: The total volume of materials to be stored divided by the suitable volume of the storage tank gives the required number of tanks after rounding. First, determine the suitable volume of the tank, which is decided based on the type of tank, the nature of the stored materials, the size of the available space, and the processing capacity of the equipment. After confirming the suitable volume of the tank, the total volume of materials to be stored divided by the suitable volume of the tank gives the required number of tanks. After confirming the number, adjustments can be made to the initially determined suitable volume to calculate the correct tank volume.

(5) Finally, the diameter and length (or height) can be determined. First, set a rough diameter based on the size of the space, then adjust the diameter according to the national standards for equipment components (shell and head), and then calculate the length (or height) of the tank. Check the length-to-diameter ratio, as it should consider aesthetics and functionality while fitting the size of the working area, ensuring that the size of the tank matches other equipment and complies with the standards of the working site.

The role and value of fiberglass anti-corrosion storage tanks are evident. Their products successfully address major issues such as groundwater pollution, providing social and environmental benefits.
