PART 2 - PRODUCTS

2.1 GENERAL

A. The manufacturer is responsible for the coordination and selection of corrosion

resistant materials for the chemical herein specified. The chemical storage tank

manufacturer shall become familiar with the characteristics of the specified chemical

and guarantee the suitability of the materials used in manufacturing of the tanks and

accessories. The Contractor and manufacturer shall include all features as necessary

for satisfactory operation of the systems for the specified chemical.

B. Tank capacity (volume) specified shall include only that volume in the straight shell

below the overflow pipe invert elevation and above the pump suction connection. At

least 4 inches of freeboard shall be provided between the invert elevation of the

overflow pipe and the top of the straight shell.

C. Storage tanks shall be made of materials that can withstand the maximum storage

temperature. Chemical properties are as follows:

Parameter Sodium Hypochlorite

CAS Number: 7681-52-9

Storage Concentration: 12.5 – 15%

pH: 12.0

Boiling Point, oF: 212

Chemical Specific Gravity: 1.05

Design Specific Gravity: 1.9

Design Temperature, oF: 120

D. The Contractor and tank manufacturer shall be fully responsible for the structural

design and integrity and water-tightness of the tanks, including all anchorages and

connections.

2.2 TANK MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION

A. Tank shall be mounted on level concrete housekeeping pads. Flat bottom tanks shall be

provided with a flush bottom drain. The concrete housekeeping pad shall be provided

with a notch in the pad to accommodate the flush bottom drain. For replacement tanks

verify that existing notch is adequate for new tank; modify and/or provide notch as

necessary.

B. Tanks shall be designed per ASME RTP-1, Part 3 (3A or 3B as applicable). Vessel

major components, shell joints (secondary bond overlays), flanged nozzles, manways

and reinforcement of cutouts are fabricated to ASME RTP-1 Latest Edition, Section 4-

300 thru 4-600 as applicable using Type I, Type II, or Type X laminates. Corrosion

liner thickness shall be excluded from the structural calculations. ASME Stamp is Not

Required.

13205-16

NCWRF BLEACH TANK REPLACEMENT

C. All tanks and related FRP accessories shall be fabricated in a controlled and well

ventilated structure protected from weather and temperature extremes. Entire

fabrication, curing and assembly process of any piece of FRP equipment shall be

indoors.

D. Resin:

1. The resins used in fabrication shall be premium grade vinyl ester such as

Ashland Chemical’s Derakane 411 or Hetron 922, or equal.

a. For tanks in sodium hypochlorite service, the corrosion liner resin

shall be a premium grade brominated vinyl ester, such as Hetron 992, or

equal. The structural layer resin shall be Hetron 922 or equal.

2. For applications requiring fire-retardant resin, the Fabricator’s fire retardant

version of the resins noted in shall be used.

3. The resin used shall not contain any fillers, pigments, dyes, or colorants, which

may interfere with visual inspection of laminate quality, except as required for

viscosity control. The limit of filler shall be 5 percent by weight of thrixotropic

fillers or bulking agents shall be used in the exterior structural layer to decrease

the glass loading ratio.

a. Vessels fabricated for sodium hypochlorite service must be fabricated

without the use of thixotropic agents, as the sodium hypochlorite reacts

with the thixotropic agents, compromising the corrosion resistance of

the vessel.

4. The cure system used for the resin shall be in accordance with the resin

Fabricator’s current recommendations. Proper curing of the resin is the

Fabricator’s responsibility. All products fabricated to this specification shall be

cured to at least 90% of the minimum Barcol hardness specified by the resin

Fabricator. (Note: The use of paraffin in the resin or the use of Nexus veil may

lower the Barcols below the resin Fabricator’s specifications).

a. Vessels fabricated for sodium hypochlorite service must be fabricated

utilizing a BPO/DMA cure system for the corrosion liner and either

BPO/DMA or MEKP catalyst system for the structural layer.

5. The chemical-resistant surface, interior or exterior, shall not be acetone

sensitive. A wax containing resin coating, formulated according to the resin

Fabricator’s most recent recommendations, must be applied over any interior

secondary bonds to achieve an air-inhibited cure.

E. Reinforcement

1. One layer of Nexus surfacing veil shall be used to reinforce the inner surface.

Thickness of the resin rich inner surface shall be 0.020” to 0.025”. Total

thickness of the inner surface and interior layer shall be not less than 0.100”.

Nexus shall be Style 100-10 Aperturned 1.5 oz. Dacron polyester fiber 12-16

mils thick as manufactured by Burlington Glass Fabric Company.

strand roving using automatic fabrication equipment which controls raw

material deposition to rotating molds through the use of digital readout

programmable controllers for raw material use verification. Resin content of

the interior layer shall be 70%, plus or minus 5%.

a. A double ply Nexus surfacing veil is required for vessels in sodium

hypochlorite service, due to the aggressive corrosion characteristics of

sodium hypochlorite. The application of the second ply of veil will

increase the inner surface thickness from 0.020” to 0.035”. The interior

layer reinforcement for sodium hypochlorite shall be boron free ECR

type glass as manufactured by Owens Corning ADVANTEX.

3. Structural portion of vessel wall shall utilize continuous winding glass for hoop

properties (and unidirectional glass as required for additional axial properties)

interspersed with automatically applied chopped glass and resin. Resin to glass

content shall be 50/50 plus or minus 5%.

F. All joints between tank components shall be covered by layup. Internal joints shall be

provided with a resin-rich surface veil overlay, reinforced with chemically resistant
