WORLD SCENARIO Inadequate precipitation in the American west required setters to use irrigation of agriculture. At first, setters simply diverted water from streams, but in many areas demand outstripped supply. As demand for water increased, sectors wanted to store wasted run off from rains and snow for later use, thus maximizing use by making more water available in drier seasons. At that time, private and state sponsored storage and irrigation ventures were pursed but often failed because of lack of money and lack of engineering skills. In July of 1902, in accordance with the reclamation act, secretary of the interior Ethen Allen Hitchcock established the United States reclamation service with U.S geological survey (USGSU). The new reclamation service studied potential water development project in each western state with federal lands- revenue from sales of federal lands was the initial source of program funding. Across the Australia cities portable water tanks are highly in demand. Alluring temporary water storage devices have been provided by the leading plastic water tank companies. Though many plastic water tank manufacturers are there, only a few provide the best plastic tanks. INDIAN SCENARIO In India, traditionally water was got from natural sources like rivers and lakes or manmade sources like ponds and wells. When the need for water storage was found, it was done in huge earthen pots. Later with the need for more and more water, tanks made of first time and later cement were manufactured. Tanks made of metals like steels and copper and later even of fiber glass have been used in the storage of water, but these tanks were mainly used for industrial or other specific needs. The pioneer in the area of synthetic water tanks in India was Sintex, a company located in Gujarat. With its first mover advantage even now the company enjoys market share of 60% in plastic water tanks in India. All their four water storage tank brands namely Sintex Premium, Reno, and Jeno have been showing consistent improvement in sales. Their turnover comes to around Rs.600 crore, which makes the

Master Batch - Black

Master Batch White

The extruder is set at temperature of 2000C. Plastic material and master batch are mixed in the specified proportion. Extruded with added carbon black ensures proper dispersion of carbon black throughout the material. As per IS 12701 the carbon content must be 2 to 3 % which is ideal to stop penetration of UV rays in the sunlight through the tank. The Master batch is made in to continuous ribbons which are cooled in running water and made into pellets which then go on to be pulverized or powdered. Pulverization The 0.5 cm long pellets are put into the pulverisor and powdered to the requisite micron specifications. The mill is set at controlled speed and temperature of 700C and monitored every 30 mins. A process sieve helps collect the powder. The black powder is used to make the outer layer and the white is used to make the inner layer. Feed to Mould The stainless steel mould is fed with the pulverized powder according to the size of the mould and covered with lid. Moulds of various capacity tanks are made providing enough flat space on the top side of the tank in order to allow a person to stand on it, for cleaning & other maintenance work, which is mentioned in IS 12701 for cylindrical vertical water tanks. Moulds are made cylindrical shaped with flat Bottom and a man hole is provided on the top side to allow a person to enter in to it if necessary; maintaining height and diameter measurements within the permissible limit of the standard. The weight of various capacity tanks are also maintained as per Clause 5.1 of the standard IS 12701. Heat Chamber When the mould is completely in the heating chamber, the heating chamber door is closed. Then the gas oven and circulation blower are switched on. The chamber is set to predetermined temperature, speed (RPM) of arm and carrier and time for heating the mould. In case of white inside layer, white mix is fed through the top of the heating chamber through the funnel after the black powder has melted. An alarm sets

off after the process is done, in order to maintain the specification, which insists the outer layer should be thicker than inner layer; Black/White powder ratio is maintained for different capacity of tanks.

Cooling The turret is transferred from the heating chamber to cooling chamber where it is cooled by exhaust and cooling fan for the required time. Then it is water sprayed to further cool. Unloading & Finishing After it is cooled, the mould is ready for unloading. The tank is unloaded scraping off extra edges and visual tested for quality. It is checked for

Any black spot on the inner white surface. Any slight black shade in the inner surface. Any rough finish Any lack uniformity of white layer and black layer. Any pinhole at flash line. Any foreign particle.

UV Resistance UV Rays gradually destroys the plasticity of the tank and makes it brittle and easily breakable. In order to avoid this, we use carbon as a UV stabilizer. Infrastructure The machines used are modern and conforming to global standards. The Gas burner is imported from Italy. The perfection of the equipments and the operations ensure that there is minimal wastage due to substandard quality. The process is entirely environment friendly.

Quality Tests Quality tests are carried at different stages of production.

The raw material is first tested so as to standardize the further procedures for a master batch.

At Extrusion, the pellets are tested if they conform to carbon black parameters as set by ISI.

Visual Test after the product comes out of mould. A sample of each batch tested on various parameters like tensile strength, durability, flexibility etc.

If conforming to the ISI specifications, branded batches move to stock yard.
