Modern European industry seeks solutions that combine reliability, efficiency, and long-term value. Fiberglass (GRP – Glass Reinforced Plastic) tanks fully meet these demands. They are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, durable, watertight, and require minimal maintenance. Because of these advantages, GRP tanks have become a preferred choice across Europe in industrial facilities, water management systems, agriculture, energy, and public infrastructure.
Why Choose Fiberglass Tanks?
- Exceptional corrosion and chemical resistance. Unlike steel or concrete, fiberglass does not react with water, fuels, or chemicals, ensuring decades of safe operation without corrosion or leaks.
- Lightweight and easy to install. GRP tanks are much lighter than their steel or concrete counterparts, making transportation and installation faster and more cost-efficient — even in confined or underground spaces.
- High mechanical and thermal strength. The composite structure withstands soil pressure, impacts, and temperature fluctuations. Tanks can also be insulated or equipped with heating elements when temperature control is required.
- Minimal maintenance costs. No periodic repainting, coating renewal, or joint sealing is needed — only simple visual inspections over time.
Main Types of Fiberglass Tanks and Their Applications in Europe
1) Fuel Storage Tanks (Diesel, Gasoline, Kerosene)
Double- or triple-walled tanks with integrated leak monitoring and anti-static inner layers. These tanks are used in fuel stations, industrial facilities, and farms where absolute safety and tightness are essential.
2) Chemical Storage Tanks (Acids, Alkalis, Reagents)
Manufactured with specialized resins — polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy — to ensure resistance to specific chemicals and temperatures. Commonly used in galvanic plants, fertilizer production, and water treatment facilities.
3) Firefighting Water Reservoirs
Usually installed underground and can be connected in modules to achieve large capacities. They ensure an adequate water supply for fire safety while preserving usable surface area for roads or landscaping.
4) Drinking Water Tanks
The interior is coated with certified, food-grade material to maintain clean, odorless, and safe water. Widely used in municipal systems, hospitals, hotels, and other facilities requiring reliable water storage.
5) Rainwater Harvesting Tanks
Underground reservoirs connected to building drainage systems collect and store rainwater. This water can be reused for irrigation, cleaning, or sanitary use, helping to reduce consumption of treated drinking water.
6) Wastewater, Slurry, and Leachate Tanks
Completely sealed and corrosion-resistant, these tanks are ideal for domestic and industrial wastewater, agricultural effluent, and landfill leachate. They prevent environmental contamination and ensure long-term ecological safety.
7) Bioproduct Tanks (Fermentation Liquids, Bioethanol, etc.)
Used in biogas plants, fermentation processes, and biofuel production. These tanks are designed for aggressive environments, offering airtight performance and options for heating, mixing, and gas recovery.
8) Fertilizer Tanks (Liquid Mineral or Organic Fertilizers)
Built to withstand aggressive chemical solutions such as ammonium nitrate (UAN). Typically above-ground, equipped with level indicators and pump connections. Modular systems can reach thousands of cubic meters for large-scale farms or industrial facilities.
9) Insulated and Heated Tanks
Designed for temperature-sensitive liquids or industrial processes. These tanks feature integrated thermal insulation and heating elements to maintain optimal conditions in cold climates or controlled environments.
10) Thermal Storage Tanks (Heat Accumulation)
Used in heating systems with boilers, heat pumps, or solar collectors. Integrated heat exchangers allow multiple energy sources, while quality insulation minimizes thermal losses and improves system efficiency.
Design Options and Installation Features
- Underground and Above-Ground: Underground tanks save valuable surface space and can be installed under parking lots or green zones. Above-ground tanks provide easy access for maintenance.
- Horizontal and Vertical: Horizontal tanks are preferred for burial or larger diameters; vertical tanks are ideal when space is limited, such as inside buildings.
- Monolithic and Modular: Single-piece monolithic tanks are produced up to ~300 m³, while modular panel systems can reach several thousand cubic meters, unrestricted by transport size.
