Custom DEF Tanks

Polypropylene custom DEF tanks offer numerous benefits for bulk storage in shipyards and as replacements for corroded stainless steel DEF tanks on ships. These advantages stem from the unique properties of polypropylene as a material, which make it an ideal choice for these applications.

Their corrosion resistance, lightweight construction, chemical resistance, customization options, cost-effectiveness, environmental friendliness, and ease of installation and maintenance make them a practical and efficient choice in the maritime industry.

By choosing polypropylene DEF tanks, shipyards and ship operators can enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and contribute to a more sustainable and compliant operation.

Advantages of Polypropylene

Lightweight Construction

Polypropylene is lightweight, making DEF tanks made from it easier to handle, transport, and install. This weight advantage is particularly crucial in shipyard applications where tanks may be maneuvered into tight spaces or moved frequently. The reduced weight also contributes to fuel efficiency on ships by reducing their overall weight, leading to potential cost savings.

High Chemical Resistance

DEF requires specialized storage due to its chemical properties. Polypropylene is highly resistant to the corrosive nature of DEF, ensuring the integrity of the storage and preventing contamination. This helps ships maintain compliance with emission regulations and ensures that DEF remains effective in reducing harmful emissions.

Customization Options

Polypropylene custom DEF tanks can be tailored to specific shipyard or ship requirements. Manufacturers can design tanks of various shapes and sizes to fit available spaces, optimizing storage capacity without compromising efficiency. Customization also allows for the incorporation of additional features, such as level indicators, temperature control, and easy access for maintenance.

Cost-Effective

Compared to stainless steel tanks, polypropylene tanks tend to be more cost-effective, both in terms of initial purchase and long-term maintenance. The lower material and manufacturing costs, combined with reduced maintenance and replacement expenses, make polypropylene DEF tanks an economically attractive choice for shipyards and ship operators.

Environmental Friendliness

Polypropylene is a recyclable material, which aligns with growing environmental concerns in the shipping industry. At the end of their useful life, poly DEF tanks can be recycled, contributing to sustainability efforts in shipyards and on ships. It can be 100% remelted and recycled in a new PE blend. Polypropylene can be molded, spun, or woven into various products.

Easy Installation and Maintenance

Polypropylene tanks are relatively easy to install, thanks to their lightweight nature.They will fit in their designated area as they are custom designed to your specifications. Maintenance requirements are minimal compared to stainless steel tanks, as there is no need for extensive anti-corrosion treatments or inspections.
