Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Structural Media Support for Odor Control Tank System

摘要

A structural media support is a system of Glass-Fiber Reinforced Polymer (G-FRP) members consisting of beams, columns and bracing together with an FRP grating grid for supporting filter media within a G-FRP odor control tank vessel. The odor control system receives odorous air flow into a plenum and via differential pressures within the system forces the air through a filter media for the degradation of the specific odorous compounds that accumulate on the media. Filtered air exits the media to a second plenum and is expelled from the tank vessel. The media support is a free-standing structural system within the tank vessel that is attached to the tank vessel floor through free-standing columns.

1. A structural support for filter media within an odor control tank vessel consists of: G-FRP structural beams connected with G-FRP components and metallic fasteners, G-FRP columns supporting the G-FRP beams connected to the beams with G-FRP components and metallic fasteners, G-FRP lateral and vertical bracing between the beams and columns connected with G-FRP components and metallic fasteners and adhered to the tank floor with structural adhesives, and a G-FRP grating grid connected to the support beams with metallic grating clips. Various media can be supported by the structure and grating.
