Center Enamel Delivers Innovative Drinking Water Storage Solutions in Indonesia
Securing access to safe, clean, and reliable potable water remains one of the defining infrastructure priorities for developing communities across Southeast Asia. To support sustainable water resource management, municipal and industrial water networks require containment solutions that actively resist environmental contamination, withstand volatile tropical climates, and eliminate structural degradation over long operational lifecycles.
Reinforcing its position as a global leader in high-quality liquid storage systems, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) successfully completed a milestone municipal infrastructure asset for the Indonesian Drinking Water Project. Put into full operational status, this project showcases the deployment of an ultra-large-capacity Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank specifically engineered to meet the rigid sanitary and structural demands of safe community drinking water storage.

2. Efficient and Reliable Water Storage: The GFS Engineering Advantage
The centerpiece of the Indonesian Drinking Water Project is a single, large-scale GFS bolted tank boasting an impressive total capacity of 10,237m³. This massive containment asset operates as a centralized municipal hub, providing a continuous, reliable supply of clean drinking water to surrounding local communities and addressing immediate regional utility needs.
Center Enamel’s proprietary Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology is internationally recognized as a premier solution for drinking water storage due to its unique material performance:
● Superior Corrosion Resistance: By fusing premium glass coatings with high-strength hot-rolled steel plates at extreme temperatures, the resulting material combines the structural strength of steel with the chemical inertness of glass. This creates a tank interior completely immune to rust, internal scaling, and aggressive water chemistry.
● Low Maintenance Requirements: Unlike traditional concrete or field-welded steel tanks that require routine crack injections or internal recoating, the smooth glass surface minimizes sediment accumulation and eliminates internal bio-film formation, drastically lowering lifecycle operational expenses for local utility operators.
3. Advanced Cover Architecture: Aluminum Alloy Trough Deck Roof
To safeguard public health, the stored liquid asset must be completely isolated from atmospheric hazards. For the Indonesian project, Center Enamel integrated a custom-engineered Aluminum Alloy Trough Deck Roof directly onto the tank shell.
This structural cover configuration provides critical operational protections:
● Environmental Isolation: The continuous aluminum trough decking forms an airtight barrier that prevents external contaminants—such as heavy tropical rainfall, windblown dust, bird droppings, and organic debris—from entering the water supply.
● Thermal Mitigation & UV Resistance: The high reflectivity of marine-grade aluminum alloys deflects intense solar radiation. This lowers the temperature of the internal vapor space, preventing thermal water stratification and suppressing accelerated bacterial growth.
● Structural Durability: Lightweight yet structurally rigid, the aluminum alloy roof handles extreme regional wind loads and heavy seasonal downpours without imposing excessive dead loads on the tank shell and foundation.
4. Uncompromising Standards: Quality and Global Compliance
Because human health directly depends on the integrity of potable water containment, Center Enamel maintains strict control over its manufacturing, testing, and engineering workflows.
Every Glass-Fused-to-Steel tank panel is pre-fabricated under strict quality standards within our advanced manufacturing facility and satisfies the world's most rigorous regulatory frameworks:
● NSF/ANSI 61 Compliance: Verified internationally to ensure that zero toxic chemicals, heavy metals, or volatile organic compounds leach from the glass coating into the public drinking supply.
● ISO 9001 Certification: Ensures that design, materials sourcing, CNC pre-fabrication, and component testing adhere to certified, reproducible quality management protocols.
● AWWA D103-09 Design Codes: The structural calculations for the 46.62-meter diameter footprint were meticulously modeled to account for dynamic fluid pressures, wind loads, and local seismic sloshing behaviors common to the Indonesian archipelago.
5. A Global Leader in Sustainable Water Management
The successful completion and onboarding of the Indonesian Drinking Water Project highlights Center Enamel’s technical expertise in delivering tailored, capital-efficient water storage solutions that align precisely with localized environmental and community demands.
As Asia's premier bolted tank manufacturer with decades of specialized industry experience and nearly 200 proprietary patents, Center Enamel continues to expand its global infrastructure footprint. With successful installations spanning more than 100 countries—including the USA, Australia, Canada, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, the UAE, Panama, Brazil, and South Africa—the company's superior tank quality and prompt technical execution continue to earn worldwide recognition.
By delivering long-lasting, high-capacity containment systems like the Indonesian GFS tank, Center Enamel is actively resolving immediate municipal water security challenges while promoting sustainable water resource management for future generations.
