Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks: The Ultimate Solution for Durable, Safe, and Efficient Storage

At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we are proud to lead the global market with our Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, an innovative and highly durable solution for a wide range of industrial and environmental applications. As pioneers in the design and manufacturing of GFS tanks, we have been at the forefront of storage tank technology for over 30 years. Our products, which combine the strength of steel with the corrosion resistance of glass, provide long-lasting, cost-effective solutions for water, wastewater, chemical, and biogas storage.
What Are Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks?
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are constructed by bonding a layer of glass enamel to steel plates under high temperatures. The result is a fusion-bonded glass coating that creates an extremely durable and corrosion-resistant surface on the interior of the tank. The steel shell ensures structural integrity, while the glass lining offers superior resistance to corrosion, rust, and environmental damage. This unique combination of materials makes GFS tanks ideal for both industrial and municipal applications, especially in environments that require the storage of liquids with varying levels of aggressiveness.
Why Choose GFS Tanks from Center Enamel?
As a leader in the GFS tank industry, Center Enamel offers superior tank solutions that stand out for their reliability, performance, and cost-effectiveness. Here's why our GFS tanks are the go-to choice for projects around the world:
1. Unmatched Durability and Corrosion Resistance
One of the key advantages of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks is their exceptional corrosion resistance. The glass coating on the interior surface of the tank creates a non-reactive barrier that prevents corrosion from environmental factors, including moisture, chemicals, and high temperatures. This is particularly important in harsh environments such as wastewater treatment, industrial effluent storage, and biogas storage, where tanks are exposed to aggressive liquids and gases.
The glass enamel coating is fired onto the steel plates at a temperature of approximately 820°C to 930°C, ensuring a perfect bond that withstands the rigors of long-term use. This results in a maintenance-free tank with an extended service life, making it a highly cost-effective storage solution.
2. Superior Engineering and Design Standards
At Center Enamel, we adhere to strict international standards for the design, engineering, and construction of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks. Our tanks are manufactured in compliance with leading industry standards such as AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, NSF/ANSI 61, and CE certifications. This ensures that our tanks meet the highest levels of safety, quality, and environmental performance.
We also offer customized tank designs to meet the specific needs of each project, taking into account local conditions, application requirements, and capacity demands. Whether it's for drinking water, wastewater, fire protection, or industrial applications, we have the expertise to design the perfect tank for your needs.
3. Long-Term Cost Savings
The durability and low maintenance requirements of GFS tanks translate to significant long-term cost savings. Unlike traditional steel tanks, which require frequent painting and upkeep, GFS tanks have a self-sustaining glass coating that does not require regular maintenance. This reduces the need for costly repairs or replacements over time.
Additionally, the fast installation process of bolted GFS tanks minimizes downtime, resulting in reduced labor and installation costs. The modular design also allows for easy expansion of storage capacity, giving customers a flexible, scalable solution for their storage needs.
4. Versatility Across Multiple Applications
GFS tanks are designed to handle a wide variety of liquid storage applications. Here are some of the key uses for our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks:
Drinking Water Storage: GFS tanks are widely used for storing clean, potable water in compliance with international water quality standards. The corrosion-resistant glass lining ensures that stored water remains safe, clean, and free from contamination.
Wastewater and Sewage Storage: For municipalities and industries dealing with sewage treatment and wastewater storage, GFS tanks offer a robust solution. Their ability to withstand aggressive chemicals and high pH levels makes them ideal for these applications.
Biogas and Anaerobic Digestion Projects: Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are a perfect choice for biogas storage and anaerobic digestion projects. Their chemical resistance ensures that the by-products of anaerobic digestion, including methane and other gases, can be safely stored for further use or treatment.
Industrial Liquid Storage: Whether it’s chemicals, oils, or fertilizers, GFS tanks provide a safe, durable storage solution for a variety of industrial applications, protecting both the stored liquids and the surrounding environment.
Fire Protection Water Storage: GFS tanks are also widely used in fire protection systems, providing reliable storage for firefighting water in industrial plants, airports, and commercial buildings.
5. Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are an environmentally sustainable choice. The glass lining is non-toxic, non-porous, and inert, making it safe for the environment. Moreover, GFS tanks help reduce the carbon footprint of water storage systems due to their long lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.
We also focus on minimizing waste during the manufacturing process, and many of our GFS tanks are fully recyclable at the end of their service life.
