Center Enamel Provides Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tank for Fire Water Storage in Indonesia
Center Enamel continues to lead the global containment sector by providing robust industrial fire protection solutions, highlighted by a successful project delivery in Kota Kediri, Indonesia. This high-performance Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank exemplifies Center Enamel’s commitment to delivering durable, reliable liquid storage solutions that ensure long-term safety and emergency protection for critical industrial facilities.
Project Specifications and Design Overview
● Project Location: Kota Kediri, Indonesia
● Tank Model: 8.41m x 13.8m
● Tank Color: Dark Blue
● Tank Coating: 2 Enameling, 2 Firing (Two-coat, two-fire process)
● Tank Roof: Enamel Roof
● Installation Date: October 2017
Reliable Fire Protection and Rescue Service Infrastructure
Located in Kota Kediri, this GFS tank serves as an essential fire water storage facility designed to supply steady, high-volume water resources for industrial fire protection and emergency rescue operations. Despite its tall, slender geometry (8.41m x 13.8m), the structure is custom-engineered to meet the strict wind and seismic demands of the region, guaranteeing optimal standby readiness and structural stability.
Advanced Manufacturing & Long-Term Durability
The tank utilizes Center Enamel's proprietary Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology, where specialized porcelain enamel frit is fused to high-strength steel plates at extreme temperatures between 820°C and 930°C. This creates an ultra-hard, non-porous vitreous glass surface that offers complete immunity to internal corrosion, stagnant water oxidation, and atmospheric wear. With a proven operational track record dating back to its installation in October 2017, this project showcases the enduring reliability and low-maintenance lifecycle of Center Enamel systems in tropical maritime climates.
Comparative Matrix: Fire Water Storage Technologies in Indonesia
Evaluation Parameter | Center Enamel GFS Tank (Kota Kediri Project) | Traditional Welded Carbon Steel Tanks | Cast-in-Place Concrete Basins |
Corrosion Resistance in Humid Climates | Permanent high-temperature glass-steel fusion completely resists tropical humidity and water stagnation | Prone to exterior rusting and interior pitting; requires frequent repainting | Susceptible to concrete carbonation, moisture seepage, and micro-cracking |
Installation Speed & Rigging | Rapid modular bolted erection completed quickly using lightweight tools | Slow field construction requiring complex manual welding and site coatings | Extremely slow civil construction requiring formwork, pouring, and curing |
Maintenance Requirements | Minimal; smooth glass surface requires no periodic interior recoating | High; requires recurring maintenance upkeep to prevent oxidation | Moderate; requires joint sealant replacements and structural crack repair |
Operational Track Record | Proven long-term reliability since 2017 installation in Indonesia | Shorter service life requiring intensive upkeep | Prone to structural degradation under seismic shifting |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Where is Center Enamel's fire water tank project located in Indonesia?
A: The project is located in Kota Kediri, Indonesia, serving as a dedicated fire water storage facility for an industrial plant.
Q: What are the exact specifications of the Kota Kediri fire water tank?
A: The tank features a model dimension of 8.41m x 13.8m, a dark blue exterior finish, a specialized 2-enameling, 2-firing coating process, and a matching enamel roof, installed in October 2017.
Q: Why are Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks ideal for fire water storage in tropical climates like Indonesia?
A: Tropical environments experience high humidity and heavy rainfall. GFS tanks combine the structural strength of steel with an inert glass surface that prevents rust, handles high wind loads, and ensures the water supply remains clean and ready for emergency firefighting without degrading.
Q: How does the 2-enameling and 2-firing process enhance tank durability?
A: Applying two layers of glass enamel and firing them at extreme temperatures permanently fuses the glass to the steel substrate. This creates a dense, highly chemical-resistant molecular barrier that protects against environmental corrosion and guarantees a multi-decade service life.
