Omni Tanker launches in the US
October 7, 2020
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 polymer tank which creates a high integrity chemical barrier of polyethylene. The OmniSHIELD provides exceptional resistance and durability with a wide range of liquids.
The smooth, weld free interior of polyethylene 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 thermoplastic which provides exceptional resistance and durability with wide a range of liquids including aggressive Class 8 corrosive chemicals and ultrahigh purity Class 5 oxidising chemicals.
