FRP/Mocoat is a leading manufacturer of double wall tanks – both above ground and below ground throughout North America. Our projects start with proper engineering design in conjunction with customer specific requirements. An in-house autocad drawing will be generated for approval and involves a sign off from a professional engineer registered in the province or state that the tank will be put into service.
The interstitial space is composed of a 3D fabric providing for continuous monitoring of the interstitial space while also providing continual laminating support to maximize strength. Each primary tank is tested and the interstitial space is also tested using either a pressure or a vacuum test.
Benefits include:
- Secondary Containment -The outer wall captures leaks from the inner tank, helping prevent spills from reaching the environment.
- Leak Detection – The space between the two walls can be monitored for leaks, allowing problems to be identified before product escapes.
- Environmental Protection – Reduces the risk of soil and groundwater contamination, which is especially important for underground installations.
- Regulatory Compliance – Helps meet many environmental and storage regulations that require secondary containment or leak monitoring.
- Corrosion Resistance – FRP is highly resistant to corrosion from moisture, soil conditions, and many chemicals, unlike unprotected steel.
- Long Service Life – Properly manufactured and installed FRP tanks can provide decades of reliable service with minimal corrosion-related maintenance.
- Lower Maintenance Costs – Corrosion resistance and integrated leak monitoring can reduce inspection, repair, and replacement costs over time.
- Chemical Compatibility – FRP can be engineered with different resin systems to suit a wide range of chemicals and petroleum products.
- Lightweight Construction – FRP tanks are lighter than comparable steel tanks, making transportation and installation easier.
