Fiberglass Tank Rehabilitation and Relining at Chemical Plant

RAK rehabilitated a chemically degraded fiberglass tank by completing a full restoration, including relining with a multilayer fiberglass system and applying a high-performance coating. Areas with severe damage were reinforced to restore structural integrity, providing a durable, cost-effective alternative to replacement while extending the tank’s service life.

The Problem

RAK Industrial Services was contracted to rehabilitate a fiberglass tank at a chemical plant experiencing internal degradation in some areas. The tank had suffered extensive damage due to prolonged chemical exposure and required full restoration. The project involved a multi-step restoration process for the tank, nozzles, and manway, followed by the application of a high-performance coating to ensure durability and extend the tank’s service life.

The Solution

RAK employed a comprehensive tank rehabilitation approach, utilizing advanced surface preparation, repair techniques and high performance coating technologies. The process included relining the tank with a new multilayer fiberglass system and applying a two-color high-performance coating system to ensure long-term durability and preventive maintenance. This solution was designed to extend the tank’s service life while minimizing downtime for the chemical plant, offering a cost-effective alternative to replacement.
