Drinking Water Storage Tanks
In municipal water distribution systems, industrial complexes, and rural community developments, maintaining an uninterrupted, hygienic, and structurally secure supply of clean water is paramount. When public utilities and civil engineers specify liquid containment solutions, compliance with rigorous health and engineering standards is non-negotiable.
Center Enamel specializes in the design and manufacture of high-performance drinking water storage tanks tailored to safeguard public health and operational continuity. Utilizing advanced modular bolted construction and cutting-edge anti-corrosion coating technologies, these potable water reservoirs provide decades of reliable service across global municipal and industrial landscapes.
Core Material Technologies for Potable Water Storage
To ensure complete water purity and structural longevity, Center Enamel offers a diverse range of engineered material configurations:
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks: The gold standard in liquid containment. Formed by fusing specialized enamel frit to high-strength steel plates at extreme temperatures (820°C to 930°C), this molecular bond combines the structural strength of steel with the inert, anti-adhesion corrosion resistance of glass. GFS tanks require zero repainting and offer a 30+ year service life.
Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tanks: Engineered by applying a durable, uniform epoxy coating to steel panels under high-temperature curing, delivering excellent resistance to water treatment chemicals and long-term mechanical wear.
Stainless Steel Bolted Tanks: Fabricated from high-grade austenitic stainless steel (such as 304 or 316L), providing exceptional intrinsic corrosion resistance without requiring external coatings.
Galvanized Steel Tanks: Cost-effective modular steel options protected by a heavy zinc galvanizing layer, ideal for temporary or standard rural water projects.
Rigorous International Standards and Quality Assurance
Safeguarding human consumption requires strict adherence to global health and structural benchmarks:
NSF/ANSI 61 Certification: The definitive health effects standard for drinking water system components, ensuring zero toxic chemical leaching into stored potable water supplies.
AWWA D103 Standards: The American Water Works Association standard governing the structural design, hoop stress calculations, seismic resistance, and fabrication tolerances of factory-coated bolted steel tanks.
ISO 28765 & ISO 9001: International benchmarks ensuring rigorous quality control in vitreous enamel manufacturing and organizational quality management systems.
1500V High-Voltage Holiday Testing: Every single enameled or coated tank panel undergoes rigorous factory testing at 1500 volts to guarantee 100% discontinuity-free coating integrity prior to dispatch.

Glass fused to steel tanks can be flexibly designed in terms of tank size and color customization according to customer needs and environmental requirements.
04
Stong Structural Design Ablility
Center Enamel is the only Asian manufacturer that meets the design standards for water treatment equipment in countries such as the United States and Australia, it has the ability to design ultra-large functional Gfs tank structures, achieving, a significant breakthrough in the single tank volume of Asia GFS tanks, with a single tank volume exceeding, 50,000 cubic meters.
Applications of Drinking Water Tanks
Center Enamel's Drinking Water Tanks provide reliable and efficient solutions for a wide range of applications, ensuring the safe and sustainable storage of potable water across industries and municipalities. Our tanks are designed to meet the highest standards of safety, hygiene, and durability, making them the ideal choice for a variety of water storage needs. By providing long-lasting, maintenance-free, and hygienic storage solutions, Center Enamel drinking water tanks are trusted by municipalities, industries, and agricultural sectors worldwide to meet their drinking water storage needs. Here are some of the key applications:
Municipal Water Systems
Water Treatment Plants
Industrial Applications
Remote and Rural Areas
Commercial and Residential Use
Our drinking water tanks play a vital role in municipal water distribution systems, ensuring a consistent and reliable supply of clean water to urban and rural communities. These tanks are engineered to meet local and international standards, providing safe water storage for drinking, cooking, and sanitation.
Drinking water tanks are an integral part of water treatment facilities, used for storing treated water before it is distributed to the public. These tanks help ensure the integrity and quality of the treated water until it is ready for use.
Industrial facilities, including factories, power plants, and processing plants, use our drinking water tanks to store potable water for employee consumption, production processes, and firefighting purposes. The tanks are designed to withstand industrial conditions and ensure the water quality is maintained.
In areas where access to a consistent water supply is limited, our drinking water tanks provide a reliable solution for storing and preserving potable water. They are particularly beneficial for communities in remote locations, disaster relief operations, and rural water supply projects.
Whether for large-scale residential developments, commercial buildings, or hospitality sectors, our drinking water tanks ensure a continuous and safe water supply. Their efficient design makes them suitable for both centralized and decentralized water storage systems.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Are Center Enamel drinking water storage tanks certified for potable water safety?
A: Yes. Center Enamel drinking water tanks comply with major international health and safety standards, including NSF/ANSI 61 and WRAS, ensuring that stored water remains completely free from harmful chemical leaching or contamination.
Q: What makes Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks ideal for drinking water?
A: GFS tanks fuse porcelain enamel glass to high-strength steel at 820°C–930°C, creating a non-porous, inert, glass-smooth surface that prevents bacterial growth, resists harsh water treatment chemicals, and never requires painting.
Q: Do these tanks conform to American Water Works Association standards?
A: Yes. All bolted steel tanks engineered by Center Enamel strictly conform to or exceed AWWA D103 specifications for structural load capacity, seismic wind resistance, and wall thickness design.
Q: How long does it take to install a modular bolted drinking water tank?
A: Because panels are pre-fabricated in the factory and assembled on-site via bolting, construction times are reduced by up to 70% compared to traditional welded steel or poured concrete reservoirs.
