Environmental & Water Industry Applications
Water industry composites must meet exacting chemical resistance, pressure containment and service-life requirements. Equipment and process chemistry must support the full range of production methods – from hand lay-up and spray-up to filament winding and closed mould.
Water Treatment Vessels
Spray-up lamination of water treatment tanks, clarifier tanks and chemical vessels requiring chemical resistance and structural integrity.
GRP Pipe & Fitting Production
Spray lamination equipment for GRP pipe sections, bends and fittings used in water and wastewater infrastructure.
Chemical Storage Tanks
Chopper and hand lay-up equipment for chemical bunds, secondary containment structures and above-ground storage tanks.
Drainage & Culverts
High-volume spray lamination for GRP drainage channels, culverts and infrastructure drainage products.

Equipment & Materials for Environmental & Water Composites
Chopper & Wet-Out Systems
Spray lamination for water treatment vessels, chemical tanks and GRP pipe sections.
Gelcoat Spray Systems
Gelcoat application for GRP vessels and enclosures requiring exterior or interior surface finish.
Injection Systems
Closed mould production of fittings, flanges and pressure components for water infrastructure.
Mould Release Agents
Chemlease® and Zyvax® systems for water industry composite tooling – water-based options support low-VOC production requirements.
Solvent Recovery Units
Acetone and solvent recovery or GRP pipe, vessel and tank manufacturing facilities.
Fluid Heaters
Resin temperature control for consistent viscosity in water treatment vessel lamination.
“Water industry composites need to perform in service for decades. That starts with controlled lamination, the right release chemistry and equipment that delivers consistent output production after production.”
MVP UK & Ireland – Technical Team
Process Requirements & Considerations
Chemical resistance requirements demand controlled laminate quality and resin selection
GRP pipe and vessel production benefits from water-based release agents to reduce contamination risk
Semi-permanent release systems reduce mould downtime on high-cycle drainage and fitting production
Environmental site regulations typically mandate solvent management and VOC reduction
Water industry products must meet relevant BS and EN standards - equipment supports process control
Environmental & Water Composite Production
Answers to the questions we receive most often from environmental & water composite manufacturers about equipment, release agents and process support.
What composite equipment is used for GRP water treatment vessel production?
GRP water treatment vessels and tanks are typically produced using chopper and wet-out spray lamination systems. MVP UK & Ireland supplies the Patriot, UltraMAX and Pro chopper systems, along with mould release agents, sealers and solvent recovery equipment for complete process support.
Are water-based mould release agents suitable for water industry composite tooling?
Yes. Zyvax® EnviroShield and WaterShield are water-based, solvent-free mould release agents suitable for water industry composite tooling. They reduce workplace solvent exposure and VOC emissions, and are appropriate for GRP vessel and pipe production environments.
Does MVP UK supply equipment for GRP drainage product manufacture?
Yes. MVP UK & Ireland supplies chopper and wet-out systems for high-volume spray lamination of GRP drainage channels, culverts and gullies. Release agent and solvent recovery equipment is also available for complete process support.
What injection equipment is used for GRP fittings and pressure components?
Injection systems for RTM and LRTM closed mould production are used for GRP fittings, flanges and pressure components requiring controlled geometry. MVP UK & Ireland supplies injection systems with full commissioning and technical support.
