Abstract

Two large diameter tanks for hydrochloric acid (HCl) and nickel chloride (NiCl2) storage have been fabricated in Mexico and shipped to the Pacific Rim. GRP construction offered lower cost than high-end alloys for this application and is relatively friendly for repairs and modifications, given the remote location of the jobsite. Alfred L. Newberry of Fiberglass Engineering Mechanics discusses the project.
