Cylindrical Fiberglass Tank for Water and Chemical Storage

AFTR services cylindrical FRP tanks used for potable water, deionized water, process water, wastewater chemicals, and aggressive chemical storage. Common stored products include sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, hydrochloric acid, and food-processing fluids. Services may include inspection, corrosion-barrier repair, structural laminate repair, nozzle modification, relining, and emergency response.

Yes. Many FRP tanks with lining wear, nozzle damage, capillary migration, impact damage, or localized structural issues can be repaired or relined. AFTR evaluates the corrosion coat, structural body, shell, floor, and nozzles before recommending repair. When appropriate, relining can add years of service life at a fraction of replacement cost and with far less downtime.

AFTR inspections examine the interior corrosion barrier, structural laminate, exterior shell, floor, nozzle interfaces, and incorporated fittings. Inspectors may use visual assessment, ultrasonic testing, laser methods, Barcol hardness testing, and high-intensity backlight testing. Findings are documented in a detailed report with recommended actions, helping owners plan repair before failure becomes urgent.

AFTR selects resin, veil, and laminate systems based on the stored chemical, concentration, operating temperature, and tank condition. The company routinely supports tanks storing sodium hypochlorite, sodium hydroxide, ferric chloride, hydrochloric acid, potable water, deionized water, and process fluids. Systems may use isophthalic or terephthalic polyester, vinylester, or epoxy resin blends.

Yes. AFTR can remove, relocate, resize, add, or block off FRP nozzles, ports, and manways on tanks already in service. New nozzles are fabricated and laminated into the tank shell and corrosion lining, then aligned with existing piping where possible. This often avoids full tank replacement when process piping or valve layouts change.

Yes. AFTR provides 24/7 emergency services for incidents such as forklift impact, dropped equipment, tipped tanks, structural damage, and urgent lining failures. Field service crews can mobilize with Service-Pack containers stocked with resins, fiberglass mat, veils, and repair equipment, enabling rapid assessment, repair, and return-to-service inspection across North America.

Yes. AFTR regularly schedules fiberglass tank inspection, maintenance, lining, and repair work around customer operations, including planned shutdowns, night shifts, weekends, and off-hours windows. Crews can also heat or cool the tank and work area when needed, helping keep planned repairs on schedule despite demanding operating conditions.

Helpful details include tank dimensions, stored product, concentration, operating temperature, service history, photos of damaged areas, drawings if available, nozzle locations, access restrictions, and desired outage timing. AFTR uses this information to evaluate compatibility, plan inspection methods, select resin and laminate systems, and coordinate field service with minimal disruption.
