Chemical Tanker Technology
Patented technology – OmniBIND™ – structurally combines the seamless thermoplastic interior tank – OmniSHIELD™ – with the high strength external OmniFORT™ tank of advanced carbon fibre reinforced polymer. The resulting OmniTANK™ provides exceptional chemical resistance, safety and integrity, with lightweight and structural strength compared with lined steel or fibreglass tanks.
STEP #1 – INTERIOR TANK
Seamless Thermoplastic Tank
- No welds or joins
- Predictable performance
- Chemically resistant
- No absorption
- No degradation
STEP #2 – PATENTED TECHNOLOGY
Patented High Strength Interface
- Structural connection
- Exceptional durability
- No delamination
- Patented technology
STEP #3 – EXTERIOR TANK
Structural tank of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP)
- Aerospace materials
- High strength / lightweight
- Exceptional fatigue resistance
- Integrated passive fire protection system
USING MATERIALS FROM THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY, THE OMNITANK IS LIGHTER, STRONGER AND OFFERS HIGH FACTORS OF SAFETY:
Tank materials 6 x the strength to weight of steel:
- Increase your payload
- Fuel savings
- Reduced operational costs
Exceptional chemical resistance:
- No degradation
- High purity chemical integrity
- Minimal maintenance or ‘make-good’ to interior
Minimal absorption:
- Easy wash out
- Two way loading opportunities
- Greater asset utilisation
USING MATERIALS FROM THE AEROSPACE INDUSTRY, THE OMNITANK IS LIGHTER, STRONGER AND OFFERS HIGH FACTORS OF SAFETY:
The OmniTANK interior – OmniSHIELD – is a seamless internal thermoplastic polymer tank which creates a high integrity chemical barrier. The OmniSHIELD provides exceptional resistance and durability with a wide range of liquids.
The smooth, weld free interior of polyethylene or fluorinated thermoplastic has low chemical absorption and low adhesion, providing excellent wash out of difficult to clean cargoes.
High Value/Return Chemicals and Segments
- High Purity Chemicals (Semi-conductor industry / Pharmaceutical)
- Aggressive Corrosive Chemicals
- Hard to Clean / Sticky liquids
High Value/Return Chemicals and Segments
The OmniTANK has a unique internal chemical barrier of seamless polyethylene or fluorinated thermoplastic which provides exceptional resistance and durability to a wide range of gases and liquids including Class 5 Oxidisers, Class 6 Toxics and Class 8 Corrosives. The chemical barrier is suitable for transport of ultra-high purity chemicals.
