Fusion Bonded Epoxy tanks offer numerous benefits that make them ideal for slurry storage:
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: The FBE coating offers up to 10 times more corrosion resistance compared to traditional coatings, significantly extending the lifespan of the tank.
- High Durability and Longevity: Engineered to last, FBE tanks can operate efficiently for over 20 years with minimal maintenance.
- Resistance to Abrasion and Mechanical Damage: The tough epoxy coating resists wear and tear from abrasive slurry materials, maintaining the tank's integrity over time.
- Low Maintenance Requirements: FBE tanks require less frequent maintenance compared to traditional storage solutions, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.

Design and Construction of FBE Slurry Storage Tanks
The design and construction of FBE tanks are tailored to meet the specific requirements of slurry storage:
- Material Selection and Coating Process: High-quality steel is used as the base material, which is then coated with fusion bonded epoxy through an advanced process that ensures uniform coverage and adhesion.
- Tank Configurations: FBE tanks can be manufactured in various configurations, including bolted and welded designs, to accommodate different storage capacities and installation environments.
- Customization Options: Tanks can be customized based on the type of slurry being stored, with features such as reinforced coatings and specialized fittings to enhance performance.
Environmental and Safety Benefits
Using FBE tanks for slurry storage offers significant environmental and safety advantages:
- Environmental Protection: The robust epoxy coating prevents leaks and contamination, protecting the surrounding environment and reducing the risk of soil and water pollution.
- Regulatory Compliance: Our FBE tanks comply with ASTM D4227 and ISO 12944 standards, ensuring businesses remain compliant with environmental laws and guidelines.
- Enhanced Safety Features: The durability and integrity of FBE tanks contribute to safer storage conditions, minimizing the risk of tank failure and associated hazards.
