FRP Chemical Processing Tank for Mixing and Chemical Applications
Jiarui FRP manufactures FRP chemical processing tanks for selected industrial applications including chemical mixing, reaction, neutralization, dosing and process liquid handling.
Unlike a conventional storage tank, a process tank is designed around the operation it performs. Tank configuration can be adapted for agitators, baffles, process connections, instrumentation and other requirements based on the application.
The tank construction is selected according to the chemical medium, concentration, temperature and operating conditions.
Introduction
Custom FRP Chemical Processing Tanks
An FRP chemical processing tank is used when a tank needs to become part of an industrial process rather than simply hold a liquid.
Depending on the application, an FRP process tank can be configured for:
- Chemical mixing
- Chemical preparation
- Neutralization
- Chemical reaction
- Dosing and dilution
- Process liquid holding
- Water treatment
- Wastewater treatment
The required configuration depends on the process. A mixing tank may require an agitator and baffles, while a reaction tank may need additional consideration of temperature, residence time and process conditions.
Jiarui FRP can manufacture customized process tanks according to available process information, technical specifications or customer drawings.
FRP Process Tank vs. Chemical Storage Tank
A chemical storage tank is primarily designed to store a liquid under defined operating conditions.
A chemical processing tank, however, is normally integrated into a production or treatment process. The tank may need to accommodate mixing, chemical dosing, reaction, sampling or process instrumentation.
The difference can be summarized as follows:
|

Designed Around Your Process
The Process Determines the Tank Configuration
There is no single configuration that fits every chemical processing application.
Before manufacturing, the tank should be considered together with the process requirements.
Important factors may include:
- Chemical medium
- Chemical concentration
- Working volume
- Operating temperature
- Mixing requirements
- Agitator type
- Process connections
- Residence time
- Pressure or vacuum conditions
For example, an FRP mixing tank requires consideration of the agitator and liquid characteristics, while a reaction application may require additional attention to temperature and process conditions.
Providing these details at the beginning helps ensure that the tank configuration is suitable for the intended application.
Working Volume and Tank Capacity
For process applications, working volume is often more important than the nominal tank capacity.
The available working volume depends on the process and the required freeboard.
Jiarui FRP can customize the tank dimensions and capacity according to the customer's process requirements.
Depending on the project, customization can include:
- Tank diameter
- Tank height
- Working volume
- Total capacity
- Tank shape
- Nozzle arrangement
- Manholes
- Agitator opening
- Baffles
- Supports
For a quotation, provide the required working volume and available installation space whenever possible.
Why Use FRP for Chemical Processing?
chemical conditions are compatible with the specified resin system and tank construction.
Its non-metallic construction can be useful in applications involving corrosive chemical media.
However, chemical resistance should not be judged from the word "FRP" alone.
The actual performance depends on factors such as:
Chemical → Concentration → Temperature → Resin System → Tank Construction
For this reason, the chemical medium and operating conditions should be confirmed before final material selection.
Material Selection for Chemical Processing
The material system is selected according to the actual application rather than using one resin system for every chemical.
The selection process may consider:
- Chemical type
- Concentration
- Operating temperature
- Exposure conditions
- Required service conditions
The corrosion-resistant inner liner and structural laminate can then be configured according to the project requirements.
If you are unsure which material system is appropriate, provide the chemical name, concentration and operating temperature when requesting a quotation.
Our technical team can review the available information before production.
FRP Mixing Tank Design
For chemical mixing applications, the FRP tank should be considered together with the agitation system rather than designed only around tank capacity.
Agitator type, liquid properties, working volume and the required mixing performance can all affect the tank configuration.
Depending on the process, an FRP mixing tank can be configured with:
- Top-entry agitators
- Impellers
- Baffles
- Agitator mounting
- Chemical dosing inlets
- Sampling connections
- Level measurement
- Process instrumentation
For this reason, it is useful to provide both the liquid properties and agitator information when specifying an FRP chemical mixing tank.
For a tank with an agitator, the following information can help determine the required configuration:
- Liquid viscosity
- Specific gravity
- Working volume
- Mixing speed
- Impeller type
- Mixing time
- Operating temperature
If the agitator has already been selected, you can provide the agitator drawing or specification together with the tank requirements.
For some mixing processes, internal baffles may be used to improve liquid circulation and mixing.
The number, size and arrangement of baffles depend on the tank geometry, liquid properties and agitation conditions.
Baffles are therefore not a standard requirement for every FRP mixing tank.
For applications requiring a defined mixing performance, the following information should be reviewed during design:
- Tank diameter
- Liquid properties
- Agitator speed
- Impeller configuration
- Required mixing time
FRP Reaction Tank
Unlike simple liquid storage, a chemical reaction may involve temperature changes, changes in concentration, gas generation and continuous agitation.
An FRP reaction tank should therefore be evaluated according to the actual reaction conditions.
The design may need to consider:
- Reaction temperature
- Maximum temperature
- Chemical concentration
- Reaction time
- Mixing requirements
- Heat generation
- Gas generation
- Pressure or vacuum
If the reaction involves significant temperature changes, pressure or vacuum, these conditions should be provided before manufacturing.
Heating and Cooling for Process Tanks
Some chemical processing and reaction applications require the liquid to remain within a defined temperature range.
Depending on the process, an FRP process tank may be configured with provisions for:
- Heating
- Cooling
- Heating or cooling coils
- External insulation
- Temperature monitoring
The appropriate configuration depends on the chemical medium, operating temperature and required heating or cooling method.
For temperature-controlled applications, provide:
Normal Operating Temperature + Maximum Temperature + Heating/Cooling Requirement
Chemical Dosing and Process Connections
Process tanks often require more connections than conventional storage tanks.
Depending on the application, the tank can be configured with:
- Chemical dosing inlet
- Process inlet
- Process outlet
- Drain
- Overflow
- Vent
- Sampling connection
- Level measurement
- Temperature measurement
- Instrument connection
- Manhole
- Agitator opening
Nozzle size and location can be arranged according to the process layout or customer drawings.
For EPC projects, a P&ID, nozzle schedule or equipment layout can be provided for technical coordination.
