Bolted Steel Storage Tanks: Innovative Engineering for Modern Liquid and Dry Storage Solutions
In the rapidly evolving industrial landscape, bolted steel storage tanks have emerged as one of the most advanced, flexible, and sustainable solutions for liquid and solid material storage. As the global leader in tank manufacturing, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) has continually redefined industry standards with its world-class bolted steel tanks. These tanks embody the ideal balance of strength, modularity, and reliability—offering proven performance across municipal, industrial, energy, and agricultural sectors.
Understanding Bolted Steel Storage Tanks
Bolted steel storage tanks are modular, prefabricated structures assembled on-site from factory-coated steel panels. The panels are bolted together using high-strength fasteners and sealed with industrial-grade gaskets, forming a leak-proof, long-lasting structure. Unlike welded or concrete tanks, bolted tanks are customizable, portable, and quick to install—making them ideal for projects that demand flexibility and precision.
Center Enamel的储罐经过工程设计,以符合AWWA D103、ISO 28765、API 12B和NFPA 22标准,确保全球质量和安全合规。

2. Durabilité et Longévité
Factory coating ensures high resistance to corrosion, abrasion, and UV exposure, even in the harshest climates. Center Enamel’s tanks often operate for 30 years or more with minimal maintenance.
· La dureza del recubrimiento de hasta 6.0 Mohs mejora la resistencia a la abrasión.
· 涂层在热或机械应力下仍保持完整。
· Les alliages métalliques et les revêtements de fusion protègent contre la corrosion dans des environnements marins ou chimiques.
3. 简化维护
Bolted panels allow for simple inspection and localized repairs. Damaged sections can be replaced individually, avoiding costly downtime and reducing operational expenses.
· No repainting or recoating required throughout most of the lifecycle.
· Smooth, non-porous surfaces make cleaning efficient and infrequent.
4. Diseño personalizable y escalable
Center Enamel bolted tanks accommodate varying storage needs and site constraints.
· Modular panels support volumetric capacities from 20 m³ to over 60,000 m³.
· Diâmetros de até 100 metros e alturas superiores a 30 metros.
· Tipos de techo configurables: plano, cónico o cúpulas geodésicas.
· Opciones de fundación adaptables: losas de concreto, muros anulares o bases de anillo de acero.
5. 成本效益生命周期性能
Compared with concrete or welded counterparts, bolted tanks offer lower total cost of ownership due to faster installation, minimal maintenance, and long service life.
· 投资回报迅速,因减少了现场劳动力。
