FRP Sludge Holding Tank
Round open-top FRP tank lying horizontally, for holding sludge before the filter press in wastewater treatment plants. Diameter 1 m to 3 m, length built to your drawing, set on a concrete plinth.
FRP Sludge Holding Tank - Holds Sludge Before the Filter Press
An FRP round open-top tank that lies horizontally and holds sludge from the treatment process, for example while it waits to go through the filter press. The filament wound body does not rust, and the resin is matched to the sludge it will hold. In Malay it is often searched as tangki enapcemar FRP.
Key Features
- Horizontal layout: lies on its side for sludge holding.
- Seamless body: filament wound, then laminated.
- Resin matched to the sludge: GP, ISO or vinyl ester.
- Corrosion resistant: FRP does not rust like mild steel.
- Built to your drawing: diameter and length made to suit your plant.

Applications
- Sludge holding before the filter press
- Wastewater and sewage 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 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.

FAQ
Why does it lie horizontally? Lying on its side keeps it low and long, which suits sludge holding next to the filter press.
What size can I order? Diameter 1 m to 3 m, with 4 m subject to road access, and length to your drawing.
Can it have a cover? Yes, a cover is optional.
