GFS Portable Water Tanks: Advanced, Durable, and Hygienic Water Storage Solutions by Center Enamel
Portable water tanks play an essential role across various sectors including emergency relief, construction, events, mining, agriculture, and military operations. These tanks must provide reliable storage while enabling ease of transport, rapid installation, and stringent water quality maintenance in diverse environments. Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) proudly offers Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) portable water tanks engineered to combine the robustness of steel and the exceptional corrosion resistance of glass enamel coatings.
The Critical Need for Portable Water Tanks
Portable water tanks are designed to store and supply potable or process water temporarily or in locations with limited infrastructure. Their utility ranges from disaster response scenarios requiring rapid water deployment to remote construction sites needing reliable water access.
Key qualities demanded from portable water tanks include:
· Lightweight but strong construction for easy transport
· Superior corrosion resistance to prevent contamination
· Hygienic smooth interior surfaces for water purity
· Quick, modular assembly and disassembly for rapid deployment
· Scalable volumes to suit various needs from hundreds to thousands of cubic meters
· Compatibility with water treatment systems
· Compliance with potable water standards such as NSF/ANSI 61, ISO 9001
Why GFS Technology Excels in Portable Water Tanks?
Center Enamel’s GFS tanks are fabricated using steel panels coated on both sides with glass enamel fused at kiln temperatures from 820°C to 930°C. This process delivers a superior coating that exceeds traditional paint or epoxy tanks in durability and water safety.
Key Advantages Include:
· Unmatched Corrosion Resistance: The glass enamel coating rapidly repels corrosive agents, acids, alkalis, salts, and organic contaminants, ensuring tank longevity and safe drinking water.
· High Mechanical Performance: Steel’s structural strength allows tanks to resist transport vibrations, pressure fluctuations, and temporary loads without compromising the coating.
· Hygienic Surfaces: The vitreous, non-porous enamel prevents bacterial growth, algae, and biofilm formation, critical for potable water storage.
· Rapid Modular Assembly: Bolted panel design allows tanks to be swiftly assembled, dismantled, transported, and reassembled with minimal labor and equipment—crucial for emergency or mobile applications.
· Thermal and Environmental Stability: Glass enamel maintains integrity under UV exposure, temperature changes, and harsh climates without fading or cracking.
· Longevity and Low Maintenance: Over 30 years design life with minimal reactive maintenance reduces total cost of ownership and enhances reliability.
Manufacturing Precision and Quality Assurance by Center Enamel
· Premium Steel: The hot-rolled steel plates used are pretreated by abrasive blasting for optimal enamel adhesion and uniform fusion.
· Double-Sided Enameling: Both interior and exterior surfaces receive uniform coatings of 0.25–0.45 mm glass enamel.
· Kiln Firing Quality Control: Multiple firing cycles in kilns at controlled temperatures ensure chemical bonding and surface smoothness.
· Precision Fabrication: Panels are cut, drilled, and finished with accuracy facilitating seamless bolted assembly and leak prevention.
· Comprehensive Testing: Includes spark testing (>1500V), adhesion tests, chemical resistance evaluation, and mechanical strength checks.
· Customization: Tank sizes can range from small units (20m³) to large tanks exceeding 50,000m³, with options for ladders, platforms, manholes, and instrumentation.
