Product: Nitric Acid Storage Tanks
Material: GRP/FRP
Specification: 3200*6500 (13.2 Gallons)
Medium: concentrated nitric acid.
When fully concentrated, nitric acid (HNO3) is a clear acid with a sharp, pungent odor. It is a common, yet highly corrosive, acid that is used for a number of purposes.
Nitric acid is most commonly seen in the production of fertilizers for plants and grass, as it neutralizers with ammonia to form ammonium nitrate. While normally clear, nitric acid turns into a brownish-yellowish solution when decomposed in water, nitrogen dioxide, and oxygen.
Other uses for nitric acid include woodworking, rocket propulsion, metal finishing, and sanitizing. The highly corrosive and oxidizing acid can also be used for dyes and certain kinds of explosives, since nitric acid can produce potentially explosive hydrogen gas when combined with some common metals .
It is clear to see that nitric acid can be a dangerous chemical in use. Storing this chemical can be just as dangerous if it is not done properly.
If you are working with a versatile, corrosive substance like nitric acid, it is important that you find a suitable storage solution.
With all acids, the concentration of the solution often determines the limitations of storage solutions. The stronger the concentration, the more careful you must be with the chemical.
GRP/FRP nitric acid storage tanks have good corrosion resistance. 50% or less of nitric acid can be made of FRP materials Storage Tank. Compared with aluminum cans and stainless steel tanks, FRP nitric acid storage tanks have relatively low cost, simple process and long service life. Concentrated nitric acid storage tanks need double-layer composite tanks. If the temperature requirements are high, the lining needs to be made of PVDF material to meet the requirements.
If FRP storage tanks need other applications, please contact us promptly and we will provide you with cost and production lead time within 24 hours!
Due to the corrosive nature of the chemical, storing nitric acid in stainless steel containers is generally not recommended. Over time, nitric acid can erode and corrode stainless steel, potentially causing container leaks or other problems.
Fiberglass is generally considered to be a suitable material for storing nitric acid. It is resistant to the corrosive effects of many acids, including nitric acid, and is often used to make tanks and other containers for storing a variety of chemicals.
It is also important to follow proper safety procedures and use appropriate protective gear when handling nitric acid, as it is a highly corrosive and potentially dangerous chemical.
PS: FRP stands for fiber-reinforced plastics, it’s a term typically used stateside here in North America. GRP is a term that means the same thing. But it’s generally used over in Europe and Asia and stands for glass-reinforced plastic.
