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, fully operational as of April 2025. This initiative underscores Center Enamel's ongoing commitment to providing reliable and durable water storage solutions that support essential infrastructure development across 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 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 this key water storage initiative.

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 to 930°C) creates an inert, impermeable, and exceptionally robust coating ideally suited for storing significant volumes of water.
The selection of GFS technology for the Thailand Water Project delivers several key benefits:
● Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Water can be corrosive to conventional steel over time. The Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating acts as an impenetrable barrier, completely isolating the steel from water and the external environment. This eliminates the risk of rust and corrosion, ensuring long-term structural integrity. This is particularly vital in Thailand's tropical climate, where high humidity and varying water qualities accelerate corrosion.
● Maintaining Water Quality and Hygiene: The smooth, non-reactive surface of the GFS coating is inert and does not leach harmful substances into stored water. The non-porous nature of the glass surface also inhibits the growth of algae and bacteria, ensuring a clean storage environment for municipal or industrial use.
● Robust Strength and Long Lifespan: GFS tanks leverage the inherent strength and flexibility of steel, providing exceptional structural integrity to withstand hydrostatic pressure and external environmental factors with minimal maintenance requirements.
● Cost-Effective and Efficient Installation: Center Enamel's GFS tanks feature a modular, bolted construction. This design allows for efficient component transport and streamlined on-site assembly, requiring less specialized equipment and manpower compared to welded or concrete alternatives.
● Adaptability to Varying Capacities: The project required two tanks of different sizes to meet specific storage needs, demonstrating Center Enamel's flexibility to design and fabricate tanks in a wide range of custom diameters and heights.
Detailed Tank Specifications
The Thailand Water Project involved the provision of two meticulously engineered GFS tanks, each tailored to specific storage demands:
● Tank 1: Featuring a diameter of 5.35 meters and a height of 13.8 meters, this taller, narrower design provides a significant storage capacity while occupying a smaller physical footprint.
● Tank 2: Featuring a larger diameter of 9.93 meters and a height of 15 meters, this larger capacity tank serves heightened volumetric demand within the municipal water distribution network.
