Storage tanks used in the production and processing of corrosive fluids must meet customer safety requirements as well as the standards and regulations in force in the country of delivery. CTRA offers a wide range of solutions for these storage tanks. These can be built entirely in GRP or in GRP - Thermoplastic composites depending on the nature of the stored product. Our tanks cover a range from 0.5m to 6m in diameter and from 0.5 m3 to 300 m3. Other volumes can be designed and built on request.

The transport of corrosive fluids by road, rail and water is highly regulated. Design and quality requirements are very high because these hazardous materials are transported on public roads. CTRA offers a range of solutions for these tank containers, which can be made of GRP / GRP Thermoplastic or GRP Thermoplastic.
