Mining operations require water‑storage solutions that withstand abrasive slurries, fluctuating chemistries, and remote locations. Hebei Huayu Environmental Engineering Co., Ltd supplies fiberglass‑reinforced plastic (FRP) tanks engineered for these conditions.
Materials and Fabrication
Tanks are constructed using hand lay‑up or filament winding, combining chopped‑strand mat and woven roving with a polyester or vinyl‑ester resin selected for chemical resistance to ferric, sulfide, or high‑pH mine waters. A UV‑resistant gelcoat protects external surfaces from solar degradation, while an internal gelcoat seals the laminate and prevents resin diffusion into stored water.
Structural Design
Capacities range from 10 m³ to 1,000 m³, either as single‑piece monoliths or modular panels. Monolithic tanks simplify containment of slurries, while sectional panels ease transport into remote sites. Internal baffles reduce slosh and maintain laminar flow. Steel or composite support frames elevate tanks off uneven ground, and flexible couplings accommodate thermal and ground‑movement stresses.
Operational Considerations
Abrasion Resistance: Optional ceramic‑filled resins or sacrificial liners can be specified for high‑abrasion applications.
Temperature Range: The selected resin system operates reliably between –10 °C and 60 °C.
Maintenance: Periodic inspections focus on gelcoat integrity, joint seal condition, and any localized delamination. Cleaning employs low‑pressure water jets and mild detergents.
Support Services
Hebei Huayu provides foundation‑design guidance, installation supervision, and a spare‑parts kit including gaskets and gelcoat repair compounds. Technical documentation covers tank certification, drawing packages, and maintenance schedules to maximize service life in demanding mining environments.
