    The document discusses plastic water storage tanks manufactured using the rotational molding process. Rotational molding can be used to make seamless, stress-free plastic tanks in a variety of shapes and sizes for industries like agriculture, oil/gas, and waste treatment. Plastic tanks have advantages over steel tanks like greater impact strength, corrosion resistance, and lower overall cost. The market potential for plastic water storage tanks in India is estimated to be over 65,000 metric tons annually to meet domestic water storage needs. A typical small rotational molding plant would have an annual production capacity of 2000 500-liter tanks and 1000 1000-liter tanks.

    287 PLASTIC WATER STORAGE TANK Introduction: Plastic tanks and water tanks store substances utilized in industrial

    processes, such as water , sewage, petroleum and chemicals. They are utilized in numerous industrious, such as the agricultural, oil/gas, water, waste treatment, medical, scientific and pharmaceutical industries. The structure of the plastic tank varies. Common tank shapes include cylindrical, square ,rectangular, hexagonal and octagonal. The heads and bottoms of plastic tanks also differ ,according to their function. Tanks can vary shape and size, even within the same type of application; for example, water tanks can be cylindrical, square, or funnel-shaped, and can hold anywhere from a couple gallons of water to tens of thousands. The rotational moulding process is the most versatile area of the plastic processing industries .Rotational moulding can be used for making stress free mouldings consisting of several layers of even different material. The rotational moulding process is adaptable to a wide range of plastic raw materials. Raw materials used for roto moulded process are syn theric polymers in powder from or synthetic resin paste. With roto moulding, parts can be moulded economically in a variety of shapes and sizes, many of them being impossible to produce by any other process. Common rotationally moulded products include shipping drums, storage tanks, material handling pins, fuel tanks etc .Plastic tanks have several advantages over the traditional steel tanks. Their seamless construction provides them with greater impact strength and superior resistance to rust, corrosionand fuel additives. These virtually indestructible tanks have a longer lifespan than steel tanks,which can fracture and leak. Plastic tanks can easily be moulded to fit tank compartments, unlike metal tanks, and are simple to install. This characteristic provides savings in size, weight and cost. Plastic tanks also cost less overall than steel tanks. Market Potential: The rotationally moulded tank has following field of applications:

    Agriculture (Sprayer tank, Mineral Feed tank, Grain hoppers, Waterier, Nurse tank ,Tractor fuel tanks, Vegetable growing trays, Soil composter etc.) Industry ( Chemical storage tank, Plating tank, Brine tank etc.) Transportation and Storage of Milk. Overhead water Storage tank mfg .Considering only the water storage for domestic purpose, it is estimated that by the end of 2008 AD about 65,000 MT of plastic tank equivalent to 11,80,000 pcs of 500 L trs. & 1000 ltrs capacity will be required annually. The demand with in seven states of N.E. Region is estimated at the rate of 33,000 pcs per annum for the next 5 years which latter on will grow at the rate of 1.5% per annum. At present there are about 40 units both in organized and SSI sector, manufacturing plastic tank by conventional moulding as well as by Roto Moulding method. The total installed capacity of these units together is estimated at 38,000 TPY. Plant Capacity: The production basis for a typical tiny unit would be as under:Working hours/day : 8 (1 shift)Working days in a year : 300 Annual Production capacity : 500 ltrs. Tank : 2000 pcs.1000 ltrs. Tank : 1000 pcs.The unit has been assumed to operate at 70%, 80% and 90% of its installed capacity in the first,second and third year and onwards of its operation. Raw Material: The main raw materials required for manufacturing water storage tank are LDPE/LLDPE/HDPE(175 MT per annum), carbon black and other colourants,(5 MT per annum), hinges and inserts
