Abstract
Standard cylindrical composite tanks and vessels are available in all major resin systems. They are generally made by a combination of filament winding for the cylindrical shell, and contact or spray up molding for the full range of end closures; although some integrally wound vessels incorporating cylindrical shells and fiat, dished, or conical end closures are also available. Rectangular and square composite tanks can be split into two different categories based on their own respective area of application and production technology. The first concept of standard modular constructions is similar to the older modular steel structures, which in spite of various coating and protective procedures, have limited corrosion resistance. The flexural properties of composite materials are such that large fat surfaces are generally considered to be discouraged; however, recent molding technology and innovative tank design has overcome this problem to some extent and allows large-scale manufacture of large rectangular or square storage tanks, especially for potable water.
