Fiberglass Tanks

Fiberglass Tanks

Fiberglass tanks are among the most flexible options for liquid storage. Made from corrosion-resistant materials, these tanks are widely used for storing water, wastewater, liquid chemicals, and certain petroleum products.

The Uses of Fiberglass Tanks

Fiberglass tanks are valuable across a wide range of industries and applications. Businesses often favor fiberglass storage tanks because of their versatility, corrosion resistance, and ease of installation.

Fiberglass water tanks can be used in homes, schools, campgrounds, and rural communities. Specially designed fiberglass petroleum tanks are used for petroleum storage, including applications at retail gas stations. Fiberglass tanks can also be used for wastewater storage and septic systems where suitable municipal wastewater services are unavailable.

Why Choose Fiberglass Tanks?

The durable properties of fiberglass make it a practical storage option for a variety of materials, including water, wastewater, and compatible petroleum products. Compared with some conventional materials, fiberglass can offer excellent resistance to corrosion and deterioration when properly designed for the stored material and operating conditions.

Corrosive liquids can gradually damage steel or concrete tanks that are not adequately protected. A suitably specified fiberglass tank can help reduce corrosion-related maintenance and extend service life.

Above-Ground and Underground Installations

Fiberglass tanks are available for different installation requirements, including above-ground and underground applications. Above-ground installations are commonly used for water storage, while specially engineered fiberglass septic and petroleum tanks may be installed underground where permitted and appropriate.

The tank must be designed for its intended installation, including the relevant soil conditions, external loads, fluid properties, and environmental requirements.

Easy Installation and Low Maintenance

Ease of installation and relatively low maintenance requirements are additional advantages of fiberglass tanks. Their corrosion-resistant construction can reduce the need for certain repairs and protective treatments associated with other tank materials.

Total ownership costs depend on the tank’s capacity, design, installation requirements, stored material, and ongoing inspection needs.

Choosing the Right Fiberglass Tank

A reliable fiberglass tank manufacturer or distributor can help you select the appropriate tank size and configuration for your storage requirements.

It is important to choose a tank specifically designed and approved for the material you intend to store. Chemical compatibility, temperature limits, installation conditions, and applicable safety requirements should all be considered before selecting a tank.
