Fiberglass Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks

Fiberglass Tanks for Ferric Chloride and Aluminum Sulfate

Technical Data for Fiberglass Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks

Resin Selection for Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks:

1. If there is a chance that the tank may be used to store a different chemical later, Belding Tank recommends using Derakane 411 vinyl ester resin in the corrosion barrier and isophthalic polyester resin in the structural layers even if temperatures are below 150° F.

Product Storage:

Single C-Glass

Catalyst Options for Corrosion-Resistant Storage Tanks:

Co/MEKP (Cobalt Octoate / Methyl Ethyl Ketone Peroxide)

Cure Process for Durable Fiberglass Chemical Tanks:

No post cure required.

Tank Exterior Features for Long-Lasting Performance:

If the tank is to be located outdoors:

• Each tank has U.V. inhibitor in the exterior resin layer.
• Gel coat may be added as an option.

Chemical-Resistant Fittings for Secure Storage Tanks:

Belding Tank uses only Integral (neck and flange face molded together) flanged nozzles.

Bolting Material: T-316 S.S. Standard

Gasket Material: EPDM Standard

Proper Venting for Safe Ferric Chloride Storage:

Unless otherwise noted, all tanks are designed for atmospheric pressure only.

Belding Tank recommends the vent be equal to or larger than the largest inlet or outlet fitting.

Plumbing Guidelines for Ferric Chloride Storage Tanks:

Use of flexible connections resistant to sodium hypochlorite –

• Allows for lateral and vertical expansion and contraction of the tank
• Reduces pump and piping vibration stress on the tank

NOTE: Flexible Connections should be connected to the tank flange. Piping, valves and pumps must have structural support independent of the tank.
