Fiberglass Storage Tanks

Hebry Fiberglass specializes in manufacturing high-quality fiberglass storage tanks using premium resin and fiberglass materials. Renowned for their excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight design, and high strength, our tanks have earned the trust of clients around the world. We offer a wide range of diameters and heights to suit various needs, including chemical storage tanks, water storage tanks, oil tanks, and underground fiberglass tanks.

Why Choose Fiberglass Storage Tanks?

Fiberglass storage tanks are widely used across industries such as chemical processing, environmental protection, and food production. Their outstanding resistance to corrosion, high strength-to-weight ratio, and ease of customization make them a preferred choice in demanding storage environments.

Each tank is constructed using two core materials: resin and fiberglass. The resin forms the base matrix, offering structural support and adhesive properties, while fiberglass serves as a reinforcement, significantly enhancing mechanical strength and durability. These tanks are ideal for storing corrosive chemicals like hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid, as well as raw materials used in food and beverage production. They’re widely adopted in sectors such as petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture.

Industry Applications

Fiberglass storage tanks serve a wide range of industries:

1.Chemical Industry: For storing acids, alkalis, saline solutions, and organic solvents with excellent resistance to corrosion.

2.Food & Beverage: Suitable for storing potable water, juices, syrups, and other consumables. Certified for food safety and hygiene.

3.Pharmaceuticals: Used for storing solvents and intermediate compounds in drug production.

4.Environmental Protection: Ideal for storing treated wastewater or recycled water, supporting sustainable water reuse and sewage management.

5.Construction: Acts as a temporary water reservoir for concrete mixing, dust suppression, and other on-site needs.

6.Agriculture: Efficient water storage for irrigation and crop management.

Other Uses: Also found in electronics, dyeing, paper manufacturing, and 7.more — wherever liquid storage is essential.

Specifications

Choosing the Right Shape & Capacity

When selecting a fiberglass tank, the application environment should be your first consideration:

1.Vertical tanks are space-efficient and ideal for compact setups like labs or small production lines.

2.Horizontal tanks are better suited for larger-scale industrial use with higher storage capacity.

Choose tank capacity based on actual usage to avoid under- or over-sizing. Proper capacity planning enhances operational efficiency and reduces costs.

Installation Considerations

Installation directly affects performance and safety. Ensure that inlets, outlets, and accessories are compatible with your setup:

1.For outdoor or harsh environments, choose tanks with advanced sealing and corrosion-resistant fittings.

2.For equipment integration, select tanks with standardized connectors that support seamless system compatibility.

Manufacturing Types

1.Wound Tanks: Mechanically filament-wound for large tanks (≥50m³). Offers ~40% higher hoop strength.

2.Hand Lay-Up Tanks: Manually layered fiberglass mats; ideal for custom shapes like conical-bottom tanks. Interior resin content up to 80% for superior anti-permeation.

3.Spray-Up Tanks: Combines short fibers and resin through simultaneous spraying. Increases manufacturing efficiency by 3x—ideal for mass production.
