FRP tanks work great for many jobs. They’re strong, don’t rust, and are light. You find them in water treatment, storing chemicals, making food and drinks, and pharmaceuticals.
To keep FRP tanks working seamlessly for a long time, you need special accessories. Things like flanges, anti-vortex inhibitors, internal pipings, and handrails help. Select the right parts, and your tanks will work better and last longer.
Let’s have a look at the top seven accessories FTC Tanks offers for your FRP tank customization.
Flanges
Flanges are crucial components that connect your tank to pipes or other equipment. These robust rings come in various sizes and types to accommodate different pipe diameters and pressure ratings. At FTC Tanks, we offer a wide range of flanges, with the largest size available being a 24″ flange. Our flanges ensure a secure and leak-proof connection, essential for maintaining the integrity of your tank system and ensuring long-lasting, reliable performance.
Anti-Vortex Inhibitor
An anti-vortex inhibitor is a device designed to prevent the formation of water vortices within the tank, which can lead to significant damage to the pump. When water swirls or creates a vortex, it not only reduces tank efficiency but also puts excessive strain on the pump. By eliminating these vortices, this accessory safeguards the pump, enhances overall tank performance, and helps extend the tank’s lifespan.
Custom Internal Piping
Custom internal piping is tailored to your specific tank requirements. These pipes can be configured to facilitate various processes, such as water distribution, chemical injection, or product transfer. The precise design and installation of internal piping optimize tank functionality and efficiency.
Handrail
Safety is paramount when working with elevated tanks. Sturdy handrails are not only crucial for providing a secure grip for personnel accessing the tank but also ensure compliance with OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) standards. These handrails reduce the risk of accidents during inspection, maintenance, and cleaning operations, helping to maintain a safe working environment.
Ladder Safety Cage
A ladder safety cage is a protective enclosure that surrounds the tank ladder. It prevents falls and provides an added layer of safety for workers accessing the tank roof.
Roof Chamber
A roof chamber is a versatile space located at the top of the tank. It can accommodate various equipment, such as valves, instrumentation, or controls. This compartment also provides convenient access for inspection and maintenance.
Side Manway
A side manway is a large access opening located on the tank’s side, designed for easy entry during cleaning, inspection, and maintenance. It allows technicians to perform detailed interior checks without the need for complex disassembly or specialized equipment.
