Production Of Plastic Water Storage Tanks In Nigeria; The Feasibility Report

Plastic have played a vital role in the growth phase of the Nigerian economy and continue to do so. From packaging to agriculture, automobiles and electronics plastics have revolutionized all areas because of its functionality, economics, aesthetics and reliability.

Plastic have made all products affordable to the Nigerian consumer and have helped in raising the lifestyle of the common man. Consequently, a lot more products manufactured in Nigeria today either contain plastics or are contained in plastics.

Plastic tanks and water tanks store substances utilized in industrial processes, such as water, sewage, petroleum and chemicals. They are utilized in numerous industries 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 rotomoulded process are syntheric polymers in powder from or synthetic resin paste. With rotomoulding, 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, corrosion and 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. These characteristics provide savings in size, weight and cost. Plastic tanks also cost less overall than steel tanks.

This report is to examine the financial viability or otherwise of establishing a plastic storage tanks production plant in Lagos using LLDPE Powder (Rotomoulding Grade) as the raw material.

Machinery and equipment needed includes rotational molding Machines, stainless steel moulds with auxiliary machines, transformer, project vehicles, forklift, wood pallets, AGO / PMS storage tank, generator and weighing scale.
