M.I.P. recently supplied 12 GRP (composite) storage tanks to MTD Maritime Services & Port Reception Facility, based in the Port of Antwerp. These tanks form an essential part of their new facility for the reception and transhipment of maritime and industrial waste streams.
What makes these storage tanks so special? First and foremost, they are specially designed to ensure complete emptying, thanks to their conical shape (60°). The cylindrical section of the tanks is fitted with a 50 mm thick PUR layer, which serves not only as insulation but also as a splash guard. To ensure seamless access to the various tanks, they are all connected by means of ladders and connecting platforms. It is also worth noting that all 12 tanks comply with the strict Vlarem guidelines and have been successfully certified by a recognised Notified Body.
This collaboration between M.I.P. and M.T.D. Maritime Services is not new. Back in 2018, we supplied four conical storage tanks (70m³) for a similar application. The confidence placed in our composite solutions and our expertise has led to this new collaboration.
