Rectangular open-top FRP tank with an internal FRP partition, raised on a mild steel stand. Popular as a PAC chemical holding tank. Width 1 m to 4 m and length up to 8 m, built to your drawing.
FRP Rectangular Open-Top Tank with Partition - PAC Chemical Holding Tank
An FRP rectangular open-top tank split into compartments by an FRP partition and raised on a steel stand. Customers often order it as a PAC chemical holding tank for water and wastewater treatment plants. In Malay it is often searched as tangki kimia FRP.
Key Features
- Internal partition: divides the tank into compartments.
- Raised stand: mild steel, bare or laminated with FRP, or pultruded FRP.
- Hand laid up: built on a wooden mould to your sizes.
- Resin matched to the chemical: GP, ISO or vinyl ester.
- Corrosion resistant: FRP does not rust like mild steel.

Applications
- PAC chemical holding tank
- Compartment holding tank in water and wastewater treatment plants
Resin Selection
- GP (orthophthalic polyester): for water and mild, non-aggressive liquids.
- ISO (isophthalic polyester): a premium polyester with good chemical resistance.
- Vinyl ester: for severe corrosion, including strong acids and alkalis, hydrocarbons and organic solvents.
- Hybrid: vinyl ester inside for chemical resistance, GP outside for economy.
Laminate Strength
The tank uses the same FRP laminate as the Mui Tank range: 103.0 MPa tensile strength (limit 70 min), 182.4 MPa bending strength (limit 100 min) and 0.15% water absorption (limit 1.0 max).
Installation
- Sit the tank, or its stand, on a level concrete plinth at least 250 mm (10 in) above ground.
- Lift only when empty, using the lifting lugs.
- Support every connecting pipe and valve on its own footing.
