The Apex of Water Storage Center Enamel's Glass-Coated Bolted Steel Water Tanks Deliver Unrivaled Purity and Longevity
Water is the lifeblood of our planet, essential for everything from municipal drinking water supplies and agricultural irrigation to industrial processes and vital fire protection systems. The integrity of water storage infrastructure is therefore paramount, demanding solutions that are not only robust and reliable but also safeguard water quality over decades. Traditional tank materials often fall short, succumbing to corrosion, requiring constant maintenance, or compromising the purity of their contents.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd., globally recognized as Center Enamel, has pioneered advanced storage solutions. Our Glass-Coated Bolted Steel Water Tanks, also known as Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks or Glass-Lined Steel (GLS) tanks, represent the pinnacle of modern water storage technology. By uniquely fusing the inherent strength and flexibility of steel with the exceptional corrosion resistance and inertness of glass, we deliver a tank solution that is engineered for unparalleled performance, longevity, and purity in even the most demanding environments.
From the arid landscapes of Saudi Arabia (as seen in our Treated Water Project) to the vital drinking water needs of Costa Rica, Center Enamel tanks are trusted worldwide to protect and preserve our most precious resource.
The Inherent Challenges of Water Storage
Storing water, especially for potable use or critical industrial applications, presents a unique set of challenges that directly impact operational efficiency, safety, and long-term costs:
Corrosion: Steel tanks are susceptible to rust, particularly when exposed to water, fluctuating temperatures, and aggressive water chemistries. This necessitates constant maintenance like repainting or recoating.
Water Quality Degradation: Traditional linings or tank materials can harbor bacteria, algae, or leach undesirable chemicals into the water, compromising its purity, especially for drinking water or sensitive industrial processes.
Leakage: Over time, conventional tank materials can degrade, leading to leaks that result in water loss, environmental contamination, and structural compromise.
Maintenance Burden: Routine cleaning, inspections, and repairs for conventional tanks are labor-intensive, costly, and can lead to significant operational downtime.
Installation Time and Cost: Large-scale water storage projects often face challenges with lengthy construction periods and high on-site labor costs, especially for welded or concrete structures.
Environmental Impact: The longevity and recyclability of tank materials are increasingly important considerations for sustainable infrastructure development.
Center Enamel's Glass-Coated Bolted Steel Water Tanks are specifically engineered to comprehensively address these challenges, offering a superior alternative to outdated methodologies.
 The Center Enamel Advantage: Glass-Coated Bolted Steel Technology
Our Glass-Coated Bolted Steel Water Tanks are a testament to advanced engineering and material science. The manufacturing process involves firing specially formulated glass frit onto precisely cut steel plates at temperatures ranging from 820°C to 930°C. This high-temperature process creates an inert, robust, and permanent molecular bond between the glass and the steel, leveraging the optimal properties of both materials.
Here's why Center Enamel's GFS tanks are the superior choice for water storage:
Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance: The fused glass coating forms an impermeable, vitrified barrier that is chemically inert and highly resistant to a vast range of corrosive elements found in various water types – from fresh and potable water to treated wastewater and industrial process water. This eliminates the risk of rust and degradation, ensuring the tank's structural integrity and aesthetic appeal for a service life of ≥30 Years. Unlike paint or epoxy coatings, the glass cannot delaminate or crack, offering truly long-term protection.
Exceptional Water Purity and Hygiene: The ultra-smooth, glossy, and non-porous glass surface (Hardness: 6.0 Mohs) actively inhibits the growth and adhesion of algae, bacteria, and biofilms. This significantly reduces the potential for water contamination, making GFS tanks ideal for drinking water storage. The surface is also "easy to clean," minimizing the need for harsh chemicals and extensive labor during maintenance. Our GFS tanks are NSF/ANSI 61 certified and WRAS approved, explicitly confirming their safety and suitability for potable water applications.
Absolute Water and Gas Impermeability: The continuous glass lining ensures outstanding impermeability to both liquids and vapors. This prevents any leakage of stored water and safeguards it from external contaminants, guaranteeing the integrity and safety of the contents.
Robust Durability and Impact Resistance: By combining the inherent strength and flexibility of high-grade steel with the extreme hardness and wear resistance of glass, GFS tanks provide exceptional resistance to physical impacts, abrasions, and extreme weather conditions. This ensures the tank maintains its structural integrity throughout its extended lifespan.
Rapid, Cost-Effective Modular Installation: Our tanks feature a "modular bolted connection design." Pre-fabricated panels are precision-engineered in our state-of-the-art factory and shipped to the site as a kit. This allows for significantly quicker and more cost-effective on-site assembly compared to traditional welded steel or concrete tanks. This reduces labor costs, minimizes project timelines, and allows for greater flexibility in construction, even in remote or challenging locations.
Minimal Maintenance Requirements: The durable, non-corroding, and anti-adhesion properties of the glass coating mean GFS tanks require significantly less maintenance over their lifetime. There's no need for frequent repainting, re-coating, or costly rust removal, resulting in substantial savings in operational expenditure and a lower total cost of ownership. The "long-lasting color" ensures aesthetic appeal without fading or chalking.
Compliance with Global Standards: Center Enamel's Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are manufactured and designed in strict accordance with leading international standards, including AWWA D103-09, OSHA, ISO 28765, NSF/ANSI 61, NFPA, ISO9001, CE/EN1090, WRAS, and FM. This comprehensive certification portfolio provides our clients with complete assurance of product quality, safety, and reliability.
