The typical process for large size field tanks is:

1. Mobilize the manufacturing team and appoint a Project Manager; Ship the machines and materials to the project field.

2. Assembly the winding machine and mold at the project field according to the tank’s diameter to be made.

3. Make liner and do winding work according to designed data.

4. Demoulding and then placing the tank in the right place.

5. Install the fittings such as nozzles, ladders, handrails, etc., and do the hydrostatic test. Finally, hand it over to the customer.

We are equipped with highly customized winding machines and molds for field manufacturing of fiberglass tanks and vessels. The laminates’ mechanical properties obtained with the field winding equipment are identical to the properties of the laminates produced in the workshop. The project schedule must include time to set-up mobile winding machines.

Different resins and fiberglass will be selected when designing the products to store and process corrosive or abrasive liquids and gases. Different agents and fillers can be used to meet different intended service conditions when required.

Field fabrication and installation can be highly cost-effective and often overcome size and difficult access problems. On-site manufacturing can minimize transportation costs and can be effectively coordinated with other on-site contractors.

We are rich experienced with manufacturing large-size FRP tanks and vessels at both Chinese and overseas project sites under different environments.

When handing over the machines to customers, we can provide training about the machine usage if required.

Main standards we can follow:

•  ASME RTP-1   •  ASTM D3299   •  ASTM D4097   •  BS EN 13121
