Industrial process wastewater contains harsh caustics and corrosive substances that can rapidly degrade traditional building materials such as steel and concrete. Clean-in-place (CIP) procedures add corrosive acids and cleaning agents to the waste stream, making effective treatment before discharge essential. Fiberglass Tank Solutions provides the ideal solution, offering fiberglass tanks and structures that resist aggressive corrosion caused by extreme pH levels, high temperatures, and potent chemicals.
Industrial wastewater, especially from dairy, cheese, wine & liquors, bottling, and other food manufacturing, often contains highly corrosive caustics such as acids, bleaches, and cleaning additives. Wastewater containing these substances must be treated to approved effluence limits before being discharged into a biological treatment plant or subsequent water bodies. Generally, this can be done close to the production site, in a selected wastewater treatment process, before reaching a central treatment plant or discharging to a municipal sewer.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process or the CIP, high or low pH process conditions, high temperatures, and corrosive agents can create aggressive corrosion in the wastewater collection and processing system. Fiberglass is a material of choice for these industrial applications, often selected for its unrivaled corrosion resistance which contributes to longevity, reliability, and low maintenance costs overall across its superior life cycle.
Fiberglass Tank Solutions works closely with our clients to investigate the properties of the contaminants and their concentrations.This allows us to manufacture storage structures with the proper resin that meets and exceeds recommendations for withstanding these highly corrosive conditions. Unlike steel or concrete, fiberglass does not require corrosive-resistant coatings or liners; fiberglass requires minimum maintenance and is easy to clean.
Fiberglass Tank Solutions products for these applications include UST (Underground Storage Tanks) in both single-wall and double-wall. We also manufacture fully kitted-up lift stations, valve vaults, and wet wells. Vinyl Ester resins used in the manufacturing of these wet wells and tanks provide custom or specific corrosion-resistant properties that extend project life cycles. Other industrial applications include underground grease interceptors, underground mixers, contact tanks, equalization tanks, and chemical storage tanks.
Our team of industry experts is readily available and knowledgeable enough to help you with your next tank or wet well needs. Contact us today to find out more about how we can help with your wastewater storage and containment.
