Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Tanks

Santa Barbara Water Tanks’ flexible, modular storage tanks that last forever.

Fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks, or FRP tanks, are a greatly innovative type of sectional water tank that can be used today for the storage and treatment of water across many applications. Made through a process called hot press molding, this method ensures that the finished tanks will be flawless in design with a smooth outer wall and that the individual tank panels will be of the highest quality for storing water with the most efficiency and safety. The smooth outer surface of FRP panels prevents bacteria from clinging onto the tank surface and contaminating the water.

With a lifespan of over 40 years, lower maintenance requirements, and a leak-proof design, these environmentally friendly modular storage tanks are ideal for storing water at large water treatment facilities, as well as taking water through the appropriate treatment processes.

Desalination plants, as well as wastewater treatment plants, can benefit from using FRP tanks. In addition to more industrial water storage applications, fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks can also be used to store potable water for drinking in residential and commercial areas, irrigation of crops, and the prevention and suppression of wildfires caused by high temperatures.

Santa Barbara Water Tanks is proud to offer fiberglass reinforced plastic tanks that make water storage and treatment easier and more cost-effective in the long run. We offer full-service installations of FRP tanks

Benefits of FRP Tanks For Water Storage And Treatment

Due to FRP tanks being a newer innovation in the water storage and storage tank industries, there are a host of benefits of using tanks made with fiberglass reinforced plastic. Take advantage of these benefits and order a fiberglass reinforced plastic tank from Santa Barbara Water Tanks for your water storage needs.

Extreme Tank Durability and Longevity

Thanks to the fiberglass in FRP tanks, these tanks have panels that are five times stronger than wood and metal by weight. Because of fiberglass’s high resistance to corrosion, when combined with the reinforced plastic, these tanks do not corrode as steel water tanks do. No metal is involved, so there is no chance of an FRP tank rusting over time. If anything, an FRP tank is more likely to last longer and be more effective at safely storing water compared to other types of water tanks made from other materials.

Keep Clean Water in Storage

One of the main purposes of FRP tanks is to make sure that water stored in them stays clean and free from contamination. FRP tanks are high opacity tanks, meaning that no light can reach the inside of the tank. This has two benefits, one being that if you are storing chlorinated water, the chlorine cannot escape from the water through the process of evaporation by sunlight. Additionally, because light cannot reach the water, it inhibits the growth of waterborne bacteria and algae, ensuring that water is kept clean for longer.

Up or Downgrade Tank Sizes and Relocate Easily

The great thing about these tanks is that they are very flexible. Due to their modular design and flexibility, FRP water storage tanks can be assembled in a variety of shapes to fit in different spaces, including squares, L shapes, and even irregular shapes. Because of this, relocation is made easy by simply dismantling and putting the parts back together. This helps cut down on costs because this method doesn’t warrant purchasing a completely new water storage system.
