Now that the petrochemical industry is becoming increasingly convinced that composite (glass-fibre-reinforced plastic) tanks offer better quality and durability for the storage of their products, the number of orders is rising sharply.
One of M.I.P. Megasolutions’ first customers was a company that produces high-quality biofuels made entirely from used fats. Among other things, this company purchased a 2,160 m³ insulated tank with a diameter of 12 metres to store biodiesel. The tank was fitted with heating coils and insulation to maintain the medium at a temperature of 80°C.
Compared with its current insulated tanks made of stainless steel, the customer is seeing significant savings due to the composite’s insulation properties.
M.I.P. will soon be supplying a second 2,160 m³ tank. We are proud of this partnership!
