Fiberglass Storage Tanks - An Economical Alternative

As the 2009 season begins it brings with it some financial challenges for the gas industry. Many of our
customers are turning to fiberglass as both an economical and quality alternative to other tanks. Some of the
benefits cited by RPX customers include:

 Cost savings, as even a fully customized tank can be more cost

effective than other materials.
 Tank fittings & configuration that can be customized to your
hook-up needs.
 Our tanks fabricated to API 12P standards.
 Lifetime corrosion resistance - our tanks will not corrode or
deteriorate from brine or exposure to sunlight.
 Cosmetics - our tanks stay looking good longer and can be re
-coated in the field.
 Double-wall configuration for containment - offers a cost
effective alternative to open top fiberglass or earthen clay dikes.
 Variety of sizes, most common include:
 100 BBL (8’6’ Diameter/ 10’ Sidewall)
 210 BBL (10’ Diameter/ 15’ Sidewall)
 250 BBL (10’ Diameter/ 18’ Sidewall)
 300 BBL (12’ Diameter/ 15’ Sidewall)
 400 BBL (12’ Diameter/ 20’ Sidewall)
 Delivery directly to your well site or storage yard.
 Easy onsite repairs - call us for onsite repairs or purchase an
easy-to-use field repair kit for your well tenders.
 No special handling required – see enclosed sheet.

 Care and Handling of
Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) Brine Water Tanks

RPX Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic (FRP) brine water storage tanks are manufactured using premium
resins and materials, with quality controlled manufacturing, to produce superior tanks that are more
durable and have a longer service life than steel tanks and poly tanks.

Because of the FRP tanks unique physical and structural characteristics, they are flexible, lightweight,
and corrosion resistant. They weigh 60% less than steel tanks and allow for easier and more flexible
installation than poly or steel.

Your FRP tank is virtually maintenance free, and there is no need for periodic recoating to protect from
corrosion on either inside or outside. All RPX Tanks are coated in custom gel color, as specified by our
customers. This gel coating protects the tanks from the potentially harmful effects of UV light and
ensures a service life of decades. Modification and repairs to your tank can easily be made on-site,
greatly reducing repair time and cost. Should you require field maintenance please contact your local
supply house to arrange for on-site repairs provided by our expert staff.

FRP tanks require no special handling or ground preparation when setting the tank. Once the area is
grated and level, acceptable methods of ground preparation and base can include but are not limited to a:
(a) 10” layer of sand backfilled into 8-10” deep trench , (b) layer of fine 2B gravel leveled and
compacted on site, (c) piece of heavy marine plywood placed under the tank on compacted and level
ground, (d) or any other substrate that you may currently be utilizing for tank installation. There is no
need to alter your current process in order to accommodate FRP tanks!

RPX assures the structural integrity of all tanks which have been designed and manufactured by our
team of experienced engineers, and guarantees quality and performance with proper care and handling.
Should you have any questions or concerns regarding handling or installation, please contact us at (724)
537-0444 or Reparex@reparex.net. Note that we are happy to have our field experts work with you
on setting your tanks and to answer questions in the field as to their proper handing and
installation.

Our tank fabrication process: We utilize the chop/hoop wind method of production. The process
comprises applying resin in a metered amount to fiber strands, winding the coated strands onto a drum
while simultaneously applying chopped fibers to the area immediately to be covered by the strands as
they are wound. This automated process creates a consistent product every time and enables the forces
of impact during routine handling to be evenly distributed throughout the tank.
