FRP Tanks - Busubait Fiberglass Company

Busubait Fiberglass Company is a leading manufacturer of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) Tanks in Saudi Arabia, delivering safe, durable, and cost-effective storage solutions for chemicals, water, wastewater, and industrial liquids. Our FRP tanks are designed for long service life, corrosion resistance, and operational efficiency, making them a preferred alternative to steel and concrete tanks.

We also specialize in dual-laminate equipment that combines fiberglass strength with thermoplastic liners such as PP, CPVC, PVDF, and PFA for superior chemical resistance. Whether for industrial processing, potable water storage, or wastewater treatment, our FRP tanks ensure reliable performance in demanding environments.

Types of FRP Tanks

1. Horizontal FRP Tanks

  • Cylindrical horizontal tanks with high volume utilization.
  • Easy to operate, transport, and install.
  • Designed for chemical storage, water treatment, and transport applications where space is not limited.

2. Vertical FRP Tanks

  • Cylindrical vertical tanks designed for space optimization.
  • Manufactured using advanced filament winding for high strength and long life.
  • Widely used in industries such as chemical processing, food, pharmaceuticals, and environmental protection.

3. FRP Corrosion-Resistant Tanks

  • Built with specialized resins and layers to resist acids, alkalis, and salts.
  • Ideal for aggressive chemicals and corrosive environments.
  • Customizable designs in various shapes and sizes.

4. FRP Wastewater Storage Tanks

  • Manufactured with seamless molding to prevent leaks and ensure environmental safety.
  • UV and aging-resistant for long-term outdoor use.
  • Suitable for municipal wastewater, ETP, STP, and industrial effluents.

5. FRP Water Tanks

  • Modular, food-grade fiberglass tanks for potable water storage.
  • Lightweight yet strong (¼ the weight of steel).
  • Compliant with hygiene and safety standards.
  • Used in residential buildings, hospitals, schools, hotels, and firefighting systems.

What is Dual Laminate?

Dual laminate tanks combine a fiberglass outer shell with a thermoplastic liner, offering the best of both materials:

  • Fiberglass (FRP): Provides structural strength, impact resistance, and durability.
  • Thermoplastic Liner (PP, PVC, CPVC, PVDF, ECTFE, FEP, PFA): Provides chemical resistance against aggressive acids, solvents, and high-temperature fluids.

This construction ensures long service life, reliable containment of corrosive liquids, and low maintenance costs, making dual laminate tanks a preferred choice in galvanizing, pickling, and chemical processing industries.

Applications of FRP Tanks

FRP tanks are versatile and used across a wide range of applications, including:

  • Chemical storage (acids, alkalis, solvents)
  • Potable water storage
  • Wastewater & effluent treatment (ETP, STP)
  • Firefighting water storage
  • Oil & gas storage and transport
  • Desalination & chilling water systems
  • Food & beverage processing
  • Fertilizer, dyes, and pigment industries
  • Mining & metal refining
  • Pulp & paper industry
  • Galvanization and electroplating tanks

FAQs

Q1. What is an FRP tank used for?

 FRP tanks are used to safely store chemicals, water, wastewater, oils, and other industrial liquids.

Yes. Unlike steel, FRP tanks do not corrode, are lightweight, easier to install, and require very low maintenance.

Absolutely. FRP tanks can be manufactured in vertical, horizontal, conical, rectangular, or dual laminate designs based on project needs.

Yes. FRP water tanks made with food-grade resins comply with hygiene standards and are safe for potable water.

 FRP tanks can last 20–50 years, depending on the design, material, and usage conditions.

Tanks can be made in capacities ranging from 1 KL to over 500 KL, with on-site fabrication available for larger sizes.

Industries such as oil & gas, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, power, mining, and water treatment rely heavily on FRP tanks.
