Delivery of a round-bottom tank for chemical products

M.I.P. recently supplied a composite domed-bottom tank to a customer. This customer develops, manufactures and distributes food additives, basic chemicals, and cleaning and disinfectant products.

The tank was purchased to replace an existing tank that had reached the end of its useful life. A number of factors were important when purchasing the tank. The tank had to:

• be suitable for the storage of various chemical products
• be KIWA-approved
• comply with BRL-K21011/02 & EN13121

The customer had a number of reasons for switching to composite: its proven resistance, combined with a long-term guaranteed service life of 23 years, were key factors. In addition, the fact that composite cannot rust (and is therefore maintenance-free) was seen as a significant advantage.
