Center Enamel Provides High-Quality Glass-Fused-to-Steel Water Storage Tanks for Thailand Water Project
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel), a global leader in the design, manufacture, and supply of bolted storage tank solutions, has successfully completed a significant water storage project in Thailand. The project involved the provision of two high-quality Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks of varying capacities, now fully operational as of April 2025. This initiative underscores Center Enamel's commitment to providing reliable and durable water storage solutions that support essential infrastructure development in Southeast Asia.
Thailand, with its diverse landscapes and growing communities, places a high priority on efficient water resource management. Reliable water storage infrastructure is crucial for various applications, including municipal water supply, agricultural irrigation, and industrial processes. Recognizing the need for robust and long-lasting storage solutions, Center Enamel collaborated closely with local partners in Thailand to deliver two high-performance GFS tanks for a key water storage project.
The Thailand Water Project, now fully operational as of April 2025, highlights the suitability and effectiveness of Center Enamel's Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology for diverse water storage needs. The project involved the successful design, fabrication, and installation of two tanks with specific dimensions to meet the project's requirements.
Project Highlights:
Application: Water Storage Tank
Location: Thailand
Tank Specifications:
Tank 1: Diameter (φ) 5.35 meters, Height (H) 13.8 meters
Tank 2: Diameter (φ) 9.93 meters, Height (H) 15 meters
Completion: April 2025 (Project is fully operational)
The Enduring Advantages of Glass-Fused-to-Steel for Water Storage
Center Enamel's Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology has emerged as a premier choice for water storage applications worldwide, offering a compelling combination of strength, durability, and hygiene. The unique process of fusing a layer of glass enamel to a high-strength steel substrate at high temperatures (820°C-930°C) creates an inert, impermeable, and exceptionally robust coating that is ideally suited for storing significant volumes of water for various purposes.
The selection of GFS technology for the Thailand Water Project brings forth several key benefits:
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Water, depending on its source and treatment, can be corrosive to conventional steel over time. The Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating acts as an impenetrable barrier, completely isolating the steel from the water and the external environment. This eliminates the risk of rust and corrosion, ensuring the long-term structural integrity of the tanks and preventing any contamination of the stored water. This is particularly important in Thailand's tropical climate, where humidity and varying water qualities can accelerate corrosion.
Maintaining Water Quality and Hygiene: The smooth, non-reactive surface of the GFS coating is inert and does not leach any harmful substances into the stored water. This ensures that the water retains its quality and remains suitable for its intended use, whether it be for municipal supply, irrigation, or industrial processes. The non-porous nature of the GFS surface also inhibits the growth of algae and bacteria, contributing to a cleaner storage environment.
Robust Strength and Long Lifespan: GFS tanks leverage the inherent strength and flexibility of steel, providing exceptional structural integrity to withstand the hydrostatic pressure of large water volumes and external environmental factors. The fused glass coating further enhances the durability and provides resistance to weathering, abrasion, and chemical exposure, ensuring a long and reliable service life for the tanks with minimal maintenance requirements.
Cost-Effective and Efficient Installation: Center Enamel's GFS tanks feature a modular, bolted construction. This design allows for efficient transportation of the tank components to the project site in Thailand. On-site assembly is streamlined and relatively quick, requiring less specialized equipment and manpower compared to traditional welded or concrete tank construction. This modularity translates to reduced project timelines and overall construction costs, making GFS a highly economical solution for water storage infrastructure.
Adaptability to Varying Capacities: The Thailand Water Project required two tanks of different sizes to meet specific storage needs. Center Enamel's GFS technology offers the flexibility to design and fabricate tanks in a wide range of diameters and heights, providing customized storage solutions to match the precise requirements of any water storage project, as demonstrated by the two distinct tank sizes delivered for this initiative.
Project Specifications in Detail: Two Tailored Tanks for Thailand
The Thailand Water Project involved the provision of two meticulously engineered GFS tanks, each designed to meet specific storage demands:
Tank 1: With a diameter of 5.35 meters and a height of 13.8 meters, this tank provides a significant storage capacity for the project's needs. The taller, narrower design is often suitable for applications where a smaller footprint is desired while still requiring substantial volume.
Tank 2: The second tank features a larger diameter of 9.93 meters and a height of 15 meters, offering an even greater storage volume. This larger capacity tank is likely intended to serve a more significant demand within the water storage system.
The precise dimensions of both tanks were carefully calculated to meet the specific storage requirements of the Thailand Water Project, showcasing Center Enamel's ability to provide tailored solutions. The GFS coating on both tanks ensures the long-term integrity and quality of the stored water, regardless of the specific application.
