Our tanks are backed by nearly 200 patented enameling technologies and a professional R&D team, enabling Center Enamel to remain at the forefront of tank innovation.
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Technology — The Gold Standard for Steel Water Tanks
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) represents one of the most advanced materials and construction technologies in the water storage tank industry. This patented method involves fusing a high-performance glass coating onto steel panels at extremely high temperatures (typically between 820°C and 930°C), creating a permanent, inorganic bond between the glass and steel.
Why GFS Is Ideal for Steel Water Tanks
GFS technology delivers multiple performance advantages over conventional welded steel, painted steel, or epoxy-lined systems:
Performance Attribute GFS Steel Tanks
Corrosion Resistance Exceptional — glass coating is inert and resists chemical attack
Liquid Impermeability Impermeable surface prevents leaks and contamination
Hygienic Surface Smooth, non-porous surface resists biofilm and sediment buildup
Maintenance Requirements Minimal — no painting or recoating needed
Service Life ≥ 30 Years
Structural Strength Retains steel’s mechanical characteristics
Environmental Safety Reduces water loss, VOC emissions, and contaminant migration
Modular Construction Facilitates rapid, safe onsite assembly
This combination of performance traits makes GFS tanks the preferred solution for potable water, treated water, fire-water storage, wastewater processing, irrigation, emergency reserves, and more.
Steel Water Tank Design and Engineering Excellence
Center Enamel designs all GFS steel water tanks in strict accordance with internationally recognized engineering and quality standards:
ISO 9001 — Quality Management System
ISO 45001 — Occupational Health & Safety
ISO 28765 — Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tank Standard
AWWA D103-09 — Steel Water Storage Tank Standard
NSF/ANSI 61 — Drinking Water System Safety
CE/EN1090 — Structural Compliance
WRAS, FM, LFGB, BSCI — Component and Safety Standards
By designing to these standards, Center Enamel ensures our tanks are reliable, safe, and globally accepted — from developed markets with strict regulatory requirements to emerging regions deploying new water infrastructure.
Modular Construction — Fast, Flexible, Future-Ready
One of the standout features of Center Enamel GFS tanks is their modular bolted panel construction. Unlike welded, poured, or cast tanks, GFS tanks are assembled onsite from pre-fabricated panels manufactured under controlled factory conditions.
Benefits of Modular GFS Construction
Rapid Onsite Assembly — reduced construction time and labor requirements
Transport Efficiency — panels can be shipped economically to remote locations
Scalability — tanks can be expanded or reconfigured as needs change
Quality Control — panels are produced under consistent factory conditions
Weather Tolerance — assembly less affected by local weather than concrete or welded systems
This modular approach supports a wide range of project scales — from rural potable water systems to large urban treatment plants and industrial complexes.
Key Advantages of Center Enamel Steel Water Tanks
1. Corrosion Resistance
The inherent corrosion resistance of glass-fused enamel protects steel substrates against chemical attack, oxygen, and biological elements found in both potable and treated water.
2. Hygiene and Water Quality
The smooth, inert GFS surface minimizes bacterial adhesion and sediment buildup, making it ideal for storing drinking water and ensuring consistent water quality.
3. Long Lifespan and Durability
Center Enamel GFS steel water tanks are designed for a service life exceeding 30 years, significantly reducing the total cost of ownership compared to conventional tanks that require periodic coating or replacement.
4. Leak Prevention
Glass-fused coating is impermeable to liquids and gases, providing a reliable barrier that prevents seepage, soil contamination, and water loss.
5. Cost-Effectiveness
With minimal maintenance requirements and rapid assembly, GFS steel tanks reduce lifecycle costs while delivering exceptional value and performance.
6. Surface Aesthetics and Color Stability
The glass-fused surface maintains its appearance over time, resisting fading, chalking, and graffiti — an added benefit for community and public infrastructure projects.
