Description

Soft elastic reservoirs ПЭР are closed cushion—shaped shells made of synthetic ballistic woven fabric with a double-sided oil-resistant polyurethane coating. Welding with high frequency currents ensures tightness of the seam without glue and stitching.

The main difference from the steel park is the absence of foundations and capital construction. The tank unfolds on the prepared site in hours, and when folded, it takes up a minimum of space during transportation.

OnePROM supplies tanks manufactured by NPF Polytechnic with a full set of documentation. We select the standard size and execution for the environment and conditions of the facility.

Supply

We ship in a compact package, with installation supervision if necessary.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a foundation and a concrete platform?

No. The tank is placed on a prepared flat area, cleared of sharp objects. This is the main saving: capital costs are reduced by a factor compared to a steel fleet, and storage can be deployed where construction is impossible.

How long does the deployment take?

From several hours to one work shift, depending on the volume. A team of 6-8 people is enough for a 200 m3 park, special equipment, welding and channel laying are not needed.

How does the tank behave in the cold?

The operating range is from -60 to +80 °C. The material retains its elasticity in the cold and does not require anti-corrosion treatment, unlike a steel tank.

What should I do in case of mechanical damage to the shell?

The shell is maintainable: the damage is repaired with an on-site repair kit. Anti-filtration canopies and protective berms are used to protect against punctures and water ingress.

How is it more profitable than a steel tank?

Logistics and timing. A fleet of 1,000 m3 of elastic tanks weighs about 3.2 tons and leaves in one container ship; the same volume in РВС-200 is 62.5 tons and about twenty cars. Plus, there is no foundation, welding and lengthy approvals.

Do you need a soft tank for your facility?

Send us the volume, environment, and site conditions. We will select the execution and prepare the calculation.
