FRP Weir Plates

FRP weir plates are precision-engineered baffles used to control fluid overflow and level in treatment tanks. In clarifiers and filters, FRP weirs span the tank perimeter to maintain uniform water level and equalized flow distribution. The fiberglass construction makes them impervious to corrosion or scaling, ensuring consistent flow metering over the lifetime of the plant.

Key Features

  • Custom Shapes: Available as straight, circular or “finger” (notched) designs to fit round or square tanks.
  • FRP Composite: High-strength fiberglass panels with UV-stable gelcoat.
  • Adjustable Height: Some FRP weirs can be raised/lowered to fine-tune levels.
  • Scum Baffle Integration: Often combined with FRP scum baffles to skim floating debris.
  • Smooth Edges: Eliminates rough edges that could trap sludge.

Benefits

  • Corrosion-Free Service: Unlike metal weirs, FRP does not pit or warp in water.
  • Uniform Flow: Ensures even discharge around clarifier, improving settling.
  • Simple Installation: Lightweight panels bolt onto tank wall or trough.
  • Low Maintenance: No repainting; just periodic cleaning.

Applications

  • Clarifier Perimeter Weirs: Control effluent levels in circular or rectangular clarifiers.
  • Filter Distributors: Used atop filters to level flow entering underdrains.
  • Clearwell Tanks: Weirs in potable water storage for mixing or overflow control.
  • Chemical Baths: Edging on tank surfaces to direct fluid during process mixing.

Technical Specifications

  • Material: FRP panels (e.g. 6–12 mm thick) with stiffening ribs if large.
  • Widths/Length: Sized to match tank dimensions; multiple sections bolted end-to-end.
  • Finish: Chemically resistant paint or gelcoat for life extension.

Unique Selling Points

  • Design Options: Weir profiles can be customized to optimize hydraulic performance.
  • Non-Corrosive: Maintains calibrated weir height even in chlorinated water.
  • NSF-Approved: Can be made to NSF-61 potable water standards if required.
  • Lightweight & Durable: Easy to handle modules with the lifespan of concrete.
