Corrosion Resistance
The pure resin layer reliably protects against corrosion, even with highly aggressive substances.
Long Service Life
Our tanks reduce maintenance costs and offer a durable solution for your storage needs.
ISO-Compatible Dimensions
Our tanks are ISO-compatible, making them easy to integrate into your existing systems.
Types of Tanks
Storage (LAU) Tanks vs. Process and Reaction Tanks
We offer two specialized types of GRP tanks designed for demanding applications. Whether for storing hazardous substances or handling processes with high technical requirements, our tanks meet the highest safety and quality standards.
Storage (LAU) Tanks
Designed for storing, filling, and transferring (LAU) hazardous and chemical substances, our LAU tanks comply with strict legal requirements, such as the German Water Resources Act (WHG), ensuring maximum safety for people and the environment.
Process & Reaction Tanks
Our process and reaction tanks are ideal for demanding industrial applications. They are specifically designed for chemical reactions, mixing processes, or temperature adjustments, offering maximum flexibility for your specific needs.
Material
Materials for Optimal Temperature and Chemical Resistance
Our GRP tanks are made from high-quality vinyl ester and epoxy resins, each offering specific properties for different operating conditions. The choice of material depends on factors such as chemical exposure and temperature requirements.
Vinyl Ester
Temperature Resistance: Up to 90°C, ideal for moderate thermal loads
Elastic Modulus: Approx. 20,000 N/mm² for structural stability and pressure resistance
Hoop Stress (Internal Pressure): 360 N/mm² for medium-pressure applications
Advantages: A cost-effective choice for systems requiring high corrosion resistance and moderate temperature resistance.
Epoxy Resin
Temperature Resistance: Up to 135°C, for high-temperature applications
Chemical Resistance: Excellent chemical resistance, even in demanding environments
Elastic Modulus: Approx. 20,000 N/mm² for structural strength and pressure resistance
Hoop Stress (Internal Pressure): 360 N/mm² for high-pressure applications
Advantages: Ideal for systems requiring maximum chemical resistance and temperature durability.
Manufacturing Process
How are GRP containers manufactured?
Fiberpipe’s GRP tanks are manufactured using the premium filament winding process. This method offers unique advantages that enhance the performance and applicability of GRP tanks.
Filament Winding
During this process, continuous fibers (roving) are wound around a form and impregnated with resin. The winding angles can be adjusted according to pressure requirements, ensuring optimal strength.
Projects
Fiberpipe GRP Tanks in Action
Fiberpipe GRP tanks are used worldwide, providing maximum safety and reliability. Our solutions have proven themselves across numerous industries, from chemical plants to water treatment facilities.
-
Efficient Raw Gas Preheating for the RWE Coal Power Plant in Ibbenbüren
The RWE Ibbenbüren coal power plant, operational since 1985, required an efficient solution for reheating clean gas in the flue gas desulfurization system (FGD).
-
Efficient Wastewater Pipeline Rehabilitation for the Miro Refinery Oberrhein
Miro Refinery Oberrhein, Germany’s largest fuel refinery, planned the rehabilitation of its wastewater system. The existing pipelines needed replacement as they could no longer withstand the extreme stresses from temperature, pressure, and chemical corrosion.
