The tanks are designed and engineered on the ‘Rita’ tank building software module. All areas of design, calculation, costing and calculating PP tanks are geared towards maximising the benefits of advanced material over conventional alternatives such as brick lining and fibreglass lining. Benefits include cost saving, impact resistance, corrosion resistance, mobility, minimal weight, leak proofing, environment- friendly, fume free, increased longevity and zero maintenance.

Anticor tanks are designed, manufactured and tested according to German Welding Association DVS 2205 for safety and longevity. The tanks are manufactured with certified life of chemical resistance. Anticor’s facilities are equipped with butt fusion welding, hot gas extrusion welding technology and hydro-thermo radius forming technology. In addition to butt fusion technology, Anticor has developed radius instead of a right angle corner at the bottom of tank. This effectively reduces the weld joint at the welded corner radius, thus providing sound mechanical strength. Anticor weld joints are tested as per German Welding Association DVS 2203. The company’s tank fabrication technology offers better performance, higher efficiency, higher productivity, lower rejection, zero failure and an environmentally friendly atmosphere. Welding quality is confirmed by a 3-point bend test, and a specimen seam is subjected to a test of tensile and impact resistance properties. Leakage testing is carried out prior to dispatch by hydro, vacuum and spark test. Anticor pickling tanks are supplied with accessories such as nozzles, heating/ cooling coils, integral suction ducting for
