Center Enamel's Engineered Fire Water Storage Tanks: A Fortress Against Fire Hazards in Li-ion Cell Manufacturing:
At Center Enamel, we leverage our decades of expertise in bolted tank technology, particularly our industry-leading Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology, to engineer and manufacture fire water storage tanks specifically tailored to the critical protection needs of Li-ion cell manufacturing factories:
Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS): The Superior Material for Unwavering Fire Water Storage Reliability: Our signature GFS technology is the ideal material choice for fire water storage tanks in these demanding environments. The inert, glass-like lining, created by fusing a specialized glass frit to the steel substrate at high temperatures (820-930°C), forms an impenetrable barrier against corrosion from the stored water and external environmental factors. This ensures the long-term structural integrity and operational readiness of the tank, a non-negotiable requirement for a system designed for emergency use. Furthermore, GFS is chemically inert and will not contaminate the stored fire water, maintaining its quality for effective fire suppression.
Robust Bolted Steel Construction: Engineered for Enduring Strength and Stability: The modular bolted steel construction of our GFS fire water storage tanks provides exceptional structural strength and stability, capable of withstanding the significant hydrostatic pressure of the stored water and external forces such as seismic activity and high winds – critical factors for ensuring the reliability of safety infrastructure in any emergency.
Customizable Capacities Tailored to Specific Factory Fire Suppression Demands: We offer a comprehensive range of tank sizes and storage capacities, precisely engineered to meet the unique fire water volume requirements calculated for each Li-ion cell manufacturing factory. These calculations are based on detailed fire hazard assessments, building dimensions, process-specific risks, and the design specifications of the integrated fire suppression systems (e.g., sprinkler systems designed for high-hazard occupancies, deluge systems for specific processing areas, and comprehensive hydrant networks).
Unwavering Compliance with Stringent Fire Safety Standards: Our fire water storage tanks are meticulously designed and manufactured in strict adherence to relevant and recognized fire safety standards and codes, most notably NFPA 22 (Standard for Water Tanks for Private Fire Protection). This ensures full compliance with local, national, and international regulations, as well as meeting the rigorous requirements of insurance providers for high-value manufacturing facilities.
