What do you need from me to quote a chemical or wastewater tank?
Please send the chemical and its concentration and temperature, the capacity, the shape and size (diameter or length, width and height), the nozzle and outlet positions, whether it needs a cover, support or partition, the quantity, and the site location. A drawing helps.
Which resin is used for chemical tanks?
It depends on the chemical, concentration and temperature. Vinyl ester resin is used for strong acids and alkalis, and isophthalic polyester for milder duties. We confirm the resin with the quote.
What tank shapes can you make?
Round tanks with flat or conical bases, square tanks with pyramid bases such as primary clarifiers, rectangular open-top tanks with steel support and partitions, sludge holding and settling tanks, and caustic soda storage tanks, all made to order.
How thick is the tank wall?
The wall is designed for each chemical, size and height, and we state it in the quotation.
Why is another quote cheaper?
Resin type, wall thickness, lining and fittings change both the price and the life of the tank. Compare quotes on the same resin and thickness.
Do you make FRP water tanks too?
Yes. Mui Tank FRP water tanks come in round, square and rectangular shapes, made to MS 1241-1:2011, SIRIM certified and registered with SPAN.
Which design standard do you follow?
Tanks are designed to BS 4994 / BS EN 13121, and filament wound round tanks also to ASTM D3299. Engineering calculations are provided on request, and you approve a general arrangement drawing before production starts.
What sizes can you make?
Round tanks are 1 m to 3 m in diameter, with 4 m subject to road access. Square and rectangular tanks are 1 m to 4 m wide, rectangular tanks up to 8 m long, and heights stay under 4 m for road transport.
What checks are done before delivery?
Every tank gets a Barcol hardness test, a thickness check and a leak test before it leaves the factory.
What is the lead time and warranty?
Typically 7 to 14 working days, subject to the production schedule; vinyl ester tanks need about 5 more working days to order the resin. The standard warranty is 1 year, and an extended warranty can be requested.
