As one of the world's largest designers, manufacturers and installers of custom built GRP/thermoplastic tanks and process vessels, Silotank continues to ride out the tough times by exporting. In March 2011, 6nr high spec supertanks arrived in Port Alexandria destined for the Egyptian Starch & Glucose Factory (ESGF) in Cairo. The six tanks, ranging from 1m to 4.5m in diameter, collectively hold 211,000 litres of either hydrochloric acid, effluent water, starch slurry, cationic water or jet water. All six tanks were of dual laminate construction. The inner chemical barrier of 6mm polypropylene was wrapped in a structural layer of glass reinforced polyester. The dual laminate vessels were designed for vacuum and positive pressure conditions and to operate at 70℃.
