Custom stainless steel pulp and paper tanks
The pulp and paper industry relies on durable and reliable storage solutions to handle a wide variety of process media. From the storage of paper pulp to aggressive chemicals and process water, stainless steel offers the ideal combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and hygiene. Gpi Tanks XL designs and manufactures large stainless steel storage tanks tailored to the demands of the pulp and paper industry. Our pulp and paper tanks are engineered for critical applications such as pulp storage, chemical buffering, and process water management. Built for durability, hygiene, and chemical resistance, each tank is custom-made to meet your operational requirements and can be produced with diameters and heights of up to 30 metres. Whether you’re handling fibrous slurries, aggressive chemicals, or effluents, our stainless steel solutions ensure reliable performance and long-term process continuity.
Tailored tank solutions for every stage of paper production
In paper manufacturing, storage tanks play a vital role throughout the production chain — from raw material handling to wastewater treatment. Gpi offers a full range of stainless steel pulp and paper tanks, specifically designed for demanding process conditions and seamless integration within your production line. Our solutions include:
- pulp storage tanks: Optimized for intermediate storage and homogenization of fibrous pulp, with optional agitators or mixing systems
- chemical tanks: Engineered for safe storage of bleaching agents, acids, alkalis, and other process chemicals
- process water tanks: Dependable containment of process water for pulp dilution, washing, or rinsing stages
- wastewater tanks: Robust designs for the controlled collection, buffering, and discharge of wastewater and sludge
Our pulp and paper tanks can be delivered with process components such as level indicators, insulation, integrated piping, and temperature regulation systems. We work closely with your engineering team to ensure seamless integration into your facility and operations.
Why stainless steel is the preferred material for pulp and paper tanks
All pulp and paper tanks from Gpi are manufactured from premium stainless steel grades such as 304, 316 (l), and duplex. Each grade is selected based on your specific process media, temperature requirements, and environmental factors. Stainless steel offers key advantages in pulp and paper environments:
- Corrosion resistance: Withstands harsh chemicals and abrasive process fluids without the need for internal coatings
- Long lifespan with minimal maintenance: Reducing operational costs and downtime
- No risk of contamination: Ideal for sensitive process fluids and clean production environments
- Fully recyclable material: Contributing to sustainable and circular paper production
- Custom-engineered performance: Tanks can be adapted to include heating/cooling jackets, insulation, or agitators depending on your process needs
Our team provides expert guidance in material selection, tank configuration, and surface treatment to ensure maximum compatibility with your production environment.
