At RAK Industrial Services, we’re proud to offer carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) tank repairs – a powerful and long-lasting solution for restoring damaged tanks.
What is Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP)?
CFRP is a composite material made from combining carbon fibers with a plastic resin. Carbon fibers are known for their exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. CFRP tank repairs offer several advantages over traditional methods because they can:
- Provide Excellent Strength and Protection: CFRP repairs can prevent corrosion and erosion from the inside of your tank. They can also be designed to reinforce the structural integrity of a deteriorating tank or fix penetrating wall failures. In cases of extreme degradation, a structurally certified composite tank can even be built within your existing tank.
- Adhere to Multiple Substrates, Suitable for Extreme Conditions: Our composite solutions can bond exceptionally well to concrete, steel, fiberglass, aluminum, and other common tank materials. With high-temperature, immersion-grade, and chemical-resistant systems available, potential applications include exposure to acidic crude oil, concentrated acids, caustics, aggressive solvents, and extreme abrasion.
- Permanent Repairs: We offer some of the most reliable results in the industry. Our composite materials will prevent further corrosion and provide a maintenance-free lifespan extension of up to 20 years in most services. For structural applications, our solutions can be stamped and certified by structural engineers.
- Reliable By Design: Customized composite solutions are designed for your specific needs, whether you require a spot repair, localized reinforcement, or a structurally independent composite tank to hold 100% of the structural load. Our composite repairs comply with relevant ISO, ASTM, ASME, and API code requirements.
