FRP tanks are composite storage vessels made from fiberglass reinforcement and thermosetting resin.
Key Advantages:
High corrosion resistance (ideal for acids, alkalis, and saltwater)
Lightweight and easy to transport
Long service life (20–50 years with minimal maintenance)
Design flexibility (cylindrical, rectangular, vertical, or horizontal tanks)
Cost-effective compared to stainless steel
FRP tanks are widely used across industries:
Water & Wastewater Treatment
Storage of potable water, sewage, and sludge
Chemical Processing
Safe storage of corrosive chemicals (HCl, NaOH, sulfuric acid)
Food & Beverage Industry
Hygienic storage of liquids, juices, oils
Pharmaceuticals
Clean and sterile liquid storage
Oil & Gas
Onshore and offshore chemical containment
Agriculture
Fertilizer and irrigation tanks
