Ozone Contact Tank Material

jeffepro · 04/07/2013, 06:35 AM

I need a large ozone contact tank (1,000-2,000liter). I know PVC has good ozone resistance, but, not sure if I can find a PVC tank of that size. Stainless is not a good option for seawater. I'm wondering if fiberglass is ozone-resistant and suitable for a contact tank. Or, any other recommendations?

Thanks

The Rubbermaid stock tanks last forever in the blasting sun also some of my customers use them for chemical mixing there tough

I would look into HDPE barrels/containers, they come in large sizes with a metal cage around them for stability and HDPE has high ozone resistance.

Fiberglass might be an option, but it depends on what plastic is used in the matrix.

PVC works fine. We have a wall of PVC pipe in an S configuration for the 15k gallon seal tank at work and never had issues.

Thanks for your posts. I think I'll be able to find an HDPE-lined FRP tank (used for water softeners).
