Holding Tanks in UAE and Saudi Arabia
Al Shamsi Fibre and Plastic Industries LLC, a well-established company in the UAE, specializes in manufacturing and supplying a variety of tanks, including holding tanks. Holding tanks are primarily used for the temporary storage of liquids, such as water, wastewater, and chemicals, making them a vital part of infrastructure in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia. Here’s an overview of holding tanks, their applications, and the role of Al Shamsi in this sector.
Types of Holding Tanks
- Water Holding Tanks: Used to store potable water for residential, commercial, and industrial use. These tanks can be placed above or below ground and are designed to maintain water quality.
- Wastewater Holding Tanks: Common in areas without access to a proper sewer system, these tanks temporarily store wastewater, which is later transported for treatment.
- Septic Holding Tanks: Used for the storage of sewage in residential or commercial buildings. These tanks are often necessary in remote areas where sewage systems are not readily available.
- Chemical Holding Tanks: Designed to store hazardous or non-hazardous chemicals in industries such as oil & gas, water treatment, and chemical manufacturing.
Materials Used in Holding Tanks
FRP
A lightweight and highly durable material that is resistant to corrosion, making it ideal for storing liquids, including chemicals and wastewater. FRP tanks are commonly used by Al Shamsi Fibre and Plastic Industries due to their long-lasting performance and minimal maintenance needs.
Polyethylene (PE)
PE tanks are cost-effective and commonly used for water storage and certain chemical applications. They are lightweight and easy to transport and install.
Stainless Steel
For applications that require high resistance to corrosion and strength, stainless steel tanks are utilized. These are typically found in more industrial settings.
Concrete
While not commonly offered by plastic and fiber manufacturers like Al Shamsi, concrete tanks are also used in large-scale applications, particularly for underground storage of wastewater or sewage.
