Preface

Preface
HISHITANK™ is a masterpiece water tank developed by MITSUBISHI CHEMICAL
INFRATEC CO., LTD., a comprehensive plastic manufacturer, through tireless basic
research and by combining its technologies.
With supplying water safely, securely, and hygienically as the top priority, we ensure
strict and consistent quality control in design, purchasing materials, manufacturing, and
shipping HISHITANK™ tanks.
To ensure the reliability of HISHITANK™ as a water storage tank, we use only parts
and components that meet all applicable standards.
Through more than 55 years of experience in studying and improving HISHITANK™ in
Japan, one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, we make every effort to
prove ourselves worthy of the trust of customers.

The History of HISHITANK™

1962 Sales of GRP water tanks began.

1978 GRP panel assembly-type tanks were released.

Water tanks provide a steady

supply of drinking water and

domestic water, which are
a crucial component of
comfortable living.

Feeling Secure with Water Tanks

Feeling secure with water tanks—the importance of this has not changed over
time. Reservoirs carved out of rock have turned into distribution reservoirs for
waterworks, and the water vessels where water is stored have transformed
into water tanks in office buildings and condominiums. These enable us to
use water daily with a sense of security. Water tanks that have water storage
functionality have become part of today's water supply systems. From behind
the scenes, they help enhance our everyday lives by serving as emergency
water supply tanks during disasters as well as in various other ways.

 Sanitation
Keeping the water clean
Keeping water clean is first and foremost
function as well as its primary mission for
Sanitation

HISHITANK™.
HISHITANK™ meets the standards for
water tank structures. Moreover, it uses
the external reinforcement frame method
to preserve water quality, which facilitates
maintenance and inspections.

The manhole can be opened and closed by hinge.
The manhole can also be attached and detached.

Products
1. Nylon powder reinforcing materials
Vapor phase areas inside the water tank have steel members that

are susceptible to rust due to the influence of free chlorine.
The HISHITANK™ enhances antirust performance by using
reinforcing materials in a protective coating.

2. Resin lining bolts

The HISHITANK™ employs a resin coating in order to enhance the
antirust performance of bolts and nuts in vapor phase areas.

3. Nylon Coated flange / Core flange

As optional parts for enhancing antirust performance, nylon
coated flanges and epoxy coated core flanges are available.

● Application areas inside tanks

(Resin-coated reinforcement material used in the vapor phase area)

Designed to prevent algae

The illuminance ratio inside the HISHITANK™ is designed to achieve 0.05% or
less, thereby clearing the requirement for an illuminance ratio of 0.1% at which
algae occurs.

Insulation design
The GRP composite panel structure type is a panel-structured water tank that features a three-
layered structure: a GRP panel layer, which has excellent insulation properties; a synthetic resin
foam layer; and a synthetic resin exterior panel with strong weather resistance and an aesthetically
pleasing appearance. It also has strong insulation to prevent condensation.

 General Descriptions
Design Conditions
The design conditions of HISHITANK™ G Panel Type are as follows:

Hydrostatic pressure Water level (m) × 0.01 Mpa {0.1 kgf/cm2}

Design water level Tank height (nominal height) × 0.9
Snow accumulation 0.6 × 10−3 Mpa {60 kgf/m2}
Wind pressure 1160 N/m2
Roof load Short term central load per panel : 80 kg
Inlet water temperature Ordinary temperature
Water quality pH : 5.8 to 8.6
General Descriptions

Illumination factor 0.1% or less

Since the roof is exposed to ultraviolet light when
Weatherability installed outdoors, better weatherability is provided
by inserting non-woven fabric into the roof panel.

Special Order Specifications
A tank separated into two or more sections allows users to perform internal
inspections and cleaning of the tank without stopping the water supply.
Note: When cleaning the inside of one section of a tank that is separated into
two sections, lower the water level of the other section to half or less.
If you will only use one section of the tank for more than 1 week, you
will need to take additional measures.

You can set up Current panels to avoid the occurrence of stagnant water in a
large tank. Note, however, that the current panels will be set up parallel to the
partitions if the tank has partitions.

Notes on Cleaning the Tank

・ For safety purposes, when cleaning the inside of one section of a tank that
is separated into two or more sections, lower the water level of the other
sections to half or less.
・The elevated portion of the panels may be slippery, so be careful when
walking on the roof or bottom panels for cleaning. Walk on the outer flat
Maintenance

portion of each panel.

・Never remove the internal and external reinforcement members.
・ When cleaning the tank, follow the rules and regulations of the country where
the tank is located and always keep safety in mind.

Tank Diagnosis
We design our GRP water tanks with a useful life-span of 15 years based on the
GRP water tank structure design calculation method. However, this useful life is
based on the assumption that the user performs maintenance and inspections
properly.
Since an GRP water tank may have problems such as water leakage or cracks
due to age deterioration after 15 years of use, we recommend that you
diagnose the level of deterioration based on the tank diagnosis checklist to
promptly renovate it or replace it with a new one.

 GRP Heatwater Storage Tanks
Heat-Resistant GRP Panel-Type Thermal Storage Tank / Hot Water Tank

U Panel Type
These tanks feature a cold and heat-resistant
design that can withstand a maximum
temperature of 80° C. The seal packing uses EPDM
rubber, which is highly resistant to heat and
corrosion. Excellent heat insulation is achieved
with an especially effective heat insulating
material. It has been designed to have strong
heat-resistant properties.
Since we began sales of thermal storage tanks in 1987, we have earned a track
record of achievements and the trust of customers by answering society's needs
for energy efficiency and environmental friendliness. The HISHITANK™ U Panel
Type has a high reputation for its excellent heat-resistant properties, heat storage
capability, and ability to store both cold and hot water.
＊ Standard specifacation acccording with Japan seismic type.

Structure
Excellent heat insulation
The structure employs heat-resistant panels that can withstand ● Heat insulation
water temperatures of up to 80°C. Highly effective heat
insulating materials are used, and two thicknesses (averages of
25 and 50 mm) are available. Heat can be insulated to match
the conditions of the environments where it is used, so hot
water and spring water can be supplied at all times. ＊These values are
estimates and not
guaranteed.

Heat resistance specifications

Two types of heat insulating materials are available: 25mm average insulation and
50mm average insulation. Either can be selected depending on the usage purpose.

 GRP Seawater Storage Tanks
Rust-resistant with excellent sanitation properties
We began sales of GRP water tanks in 1962.
Since then, we have earned our customers' trust by constantly
improving our technologies as a pioneer in GRP tank manufacturing.
We developed the Seawater HISHITANK™ using the technology
and know-how we have accumulated over the past 40 years.
Please contact us to consult about your needs.
＊ Standard specifacation acccording with Japan seismic type.

Enhanced anti-rust performance

In addition to the rust-resistant GRP specification, all interior steel materials use a nylon
coating. Its highly rust-resistant properties make this a truly effective seawater tank.

＊Please read and understand “operating instruction” before using the water tank.
＊Please proceed with maintenance of water tank in accordancce with “Operating Instruction” provid-
ed by our company.
CAUTION
＊Damage to water tank may be caused if modification or change is made to it. If any modification or
UPON change is necessary, please call upon us.
USAGE ＊If any damage to the water tank is found by the periodical inspection, please be sure to contact our
distributor for determining if repair is necessary, etc. If any damage or accident is caused by the
continued use of water tank as it is or just by an emergency repair, it would fall into the it would not
be covered by the warranty.
