Center Enamel Provides Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Thailand Drinking Water Project
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology (Center Enamel) has further solidified its footprint in Southeast Asia with the successful completion of a landmark drinking water storage project in Thailand. By utilizing advanced Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology, the project ensures long-term potable water safety through superior corrosion resistance and hygienic design.
1. Project Specifications: Engineering Precision
The Thailand Drinking Water Project required a containment solution capable of withstanding high humidity and tropical conditions while maintaining strict water purity. Center Enamel’s modular bolted tank was selected for its rapid deployment and structural longevity.
Technical Overview:
● Location: Thailand
● Application: Municipal Potable Water Storage
● Capacity: 557 m3 (Total Volume)
● Dimensions: 11.46 \x 5.4 m (H)
● Tank Architecture: Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Bolted Tank
● Roofing System: Aluminum Alloy Trough Deck Roof
● Operational Status: Commissioned and fully operational in 2024
2. Material Science: The Glass-Fused-to-Steel Advantage
The core of this project’s success lies in the molecular fusion of glass and steel. At temperatures between 820°C and 930°C, the steel substrate and silica glass coating reach a state of mutual diffusion, creating an inseparable bond.
● Corrosion Resistance: The inert glass barrier is immune to pH fluctuations (1–14), preventing the oxidation common in traditional welded steel tanks.
● Hygienic Integrity: The non-porous surface prevents biofilm formation, scaling, and bacterial growth—a critical requirement for municipal drinking water.
● Structural Resilience: Combined with a high-strength Aluminum Alloy Trough Deck Roof, the system offers maximum weather resistance and low-weight structural durability.
3. Global Compliance and Engineering Standards
Center Enamel’s Thailand installation adheres to:
● NSF/ANSI 61: The gold standard for drinking water system components, ensuring zero chemical leaching.
● AWWA D103-09: The American standard for factory-coated bolted steel water tanks.
● ISO 28765: The international benchmark for vitreous enamel bolted tanks.
● Quality Verification: Every tank panel undergoes a 1500V high-voltage holiday test to guarantee 100% coating integrity.
4. Why Center Enamel is the Industry Leader
As Asia’s most experienced bolted tank manufacturer, Center Enamel provides more than just hardware; we provide verified expertise:
● 30+ Years of Experience: A proven track record in over 100 countries, including the USA, Australia, and Brazil.
