Clarifier Covers for STP/WWTP (FRP/GRP) – Saudi Arabia
Clarifier covers are critical for controlling odor, protecting concrete and steel assets from corrosive sewage gases, and improving safety at STP/WWTP facilities in Saudi Arabia (KSA). Pioneers Fiberglass supplies FRP/GRP clarifier covers designed for harsh GCC conditions—high UV, heat, dust, and coastal salinity—using modular panels, corrosion-resistant fasteners, and sealed joints to support odor control systems.

FRP/GRP Clarifier Cover System Options
Modular FRP/GRP clarifier covers for circular clarifiers, rectangular basins, channels, and custom STP/WWTP configurations.
Dome Clarifier Covers (Type D/E/G)
Self-supporting GRP dome structures for circular tanks from 18m to 40m diameter. Preassembled and crane-positioned for rapid installation.
Lattice Beam Clarifier Systems (Type G5)
Steel lattice beams with suspended GRP elements for large-span circular tanks exceeding 40m diameter. Ideal for major treatment facilities.
Barrel Shell Covers
Self-supporting GRP barrel shells as main beams with flat elements between. Cost-effective solution for spans between 8m and 17m.
Rectangular Tank Covers (Type Af/AB)
Modular flat panel systems with reinforcing ribs for rectangular tanks, channels, and linear structures of any length.
GRP/FRP Materials for Long-Life Clarifier Covers
Our GRP/FRP clarifier covers use corrosion-resistant resins, UV-stabilized gelcoat, and stainless connectors to perform in aggressive STP/WWTP environments across Saudi Arabia.
Glass Fiber Reinforcement
Mats, fabrics, and non-wovens precisely incorporated per structural analysis with appropriate safety margins
Chemical-Resistant Resins
Selected polyester or vinyl ester resins engineered for specific chemical exposure environments in clarifier covers.
Stainless Steel Connectors
All metal fasteners and inserts manufactured from corrosion-resistant stainless steel grades
Sealed Edges & Penetrations
All cut edges, drilled holes, and openings carefully sealed to prevent moisture ingress into laminate
UV-Stabilized Gel Coat
Exterior surfaces protected with UV-resistant gel coat for maximum weathering resistance
Special Sealing Gaskets
Soft plastic sections and flexible gaskets ensure airtight connections between elements
30+ Years of Proven Performance
GRP/FRP clarifier covers installed over three decades ago remain in service today, demonstrating extreme resistance to weathering, UV exposure, and chemical attack. The material maintains structural integrity and appearance with minimal maintenance.
Superior to Stainless Steel
In applications like Fe(III) precipitation where even stainless steel corrodes under continuous contact, GRP is the optimal choice. Lower weight also reduces structural requirements and installation costs.
Clarifier Cover Design & Quality Assurance
Every clarifier cover project is backed by structural analysis, detailed CAD design, and quality-controlled manufacturing.
Structural Analysis
FEM-based calculations ensure every clarifier covers meets load requirements including wind, snow, and access loads for your specific location.
2D/3D CAD Design
Advanced CAD systems enable precise clarifier cover design and coordination. Computer animations help clients understand complex solutions.
Quality Control
In-house laboratory testing, strict adherence to structural specifications, and documented quality checks throughout production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about our STP/WTP fiberglass covering systems.
How do FRP/GRP clarifier covers reduce odor and VOC emissions?
FRP/GRP clarifier covers create an enclosed headspace above clarifiers and treatment tanks, preventing odorous gases and VOCs from escaping into the atmosphere. Special sealing gaskets between elements ensure an odor-tight closure, and the contained air can be routed to odor control or waste-gas treatment systems for proper processing.
Are clarifier covers walkable for maintenance access?
Yes—our clarifier covers can be designed with walk-on capability where required, based on project load requirements. Flat secondary elements between main supports provide safe access for inspection and maintenance, and we can integrate access hatches, stairway openings, and safety features as specified by the plant.
How are hatches and access openings sealed?
Access hatches are fitted with continuous gasket seals that compress when closed, creating an odor-tight barrier. For tanks with moving scraper bridges, we use specially designed flexible plastic lip systems that seal around moving rods while allowing passage.
What chemicals can FRP/GRP withstand in STP environments?
GRP offers excellent resistance to hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and other aggressive gases common in wastewater treatment. The material does not corrode like metals and outlasts traditional materials in these environments. Specific resin systems can be selected based on the exact chemical exposure conditions.
What is the typical lead time for KSA/GCC projects?
Lead times depend on project scope and complexity. For standard designs, production can begin within weeks of order confirmation. Major projects like Jeddah North (60,000+ sq.m) have been completed within 12 months from order to delivery. We provide detailed schedules during the quotation process.
Can you retrofit covers on existing tanks?
Yes, retrofitting is common. Our modular system allows covers to be designed around existing structures, equipment, and operational constraints. We can work with tanks that cannot be taken out of service by using assembly methods that don’t require internal scaffolding.
What design data do you need for a quotation?
We require tank dimensions (diameter/length/width), wall heights, any existing structures or penetrations, equipment requiring access, wind and environmental loads for your location, and your specific requirements for access, ventilation, and sealing performance.
Do you support installation in remote GCC sites?
Absolutely. We supply prefabricated, ready-to-assemble parts with detailed drawings and assembly manuals. Local contractors can perform assembly with our supervision if needed. We’ve successfully delivered projects across KSA, UAE, Bahrain, and Oman.
