As the world’s leading economies continue to rely heavily on this vital commodity, the demand for robust, reliable, and compliant crude oil storage solutions intensifies. At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd, known globally as Center Enamel, we have dedicated over 30 years to mastering storage tank technology. Our welded steel tanks for crude oil storage embody the pinnacle of engineering excellence, offering unparalleled durability, customizable capacity, and a steadfast commitment to safety and environmental responsibility.
Crude oil, the unprocessed fossil fuel extracted from the earth, serves as the raw material for countless products, from gasoline and diesel to plastics and pharmaceuticals. Its storage is a complex undertaking, requiring facilities that can safely contain a highly volatile and corrosive substance while withstanding immense pressures and environmental fluctuations. The strategic importance of crude oil storage tanks cannot be overstated, acting as critical buffers in the supply chain, ensuring energy security, enabling trade, and facilitating the continuous operation of refineries and petrochemical plants.
Welded Steel Tanks: A Foundation of Strength and Reliability
While Center Enamel is renowned for its pioneering Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) bolted tanks, our expertise extends comprehensively to the fabrication of high-quality welded steel tanks. For crude oil storage, where large capacities, extreme durability, and seamless integrity are often paramount, welded steel tanks present a compelling solution.
Welded Steel Tanks ke eng?
Welded steel tanks are constructed by meticulously joining steel plates through various advanced welding techniques. This process creates a monolithic, seamless structure, where the integrity of the tank relies on the strength and precision of its welds. Unlike bolted tanks, which are assembled on-site from pre-fabricated panels, welded tanks often involve extensive on-site fabrication and welding, resulting in a single, integrated vessel.

Whether a small facility or a massive industrial application, our design and fabrication capabilities can accommodate diverse needs.
Exceptional Durability and Longevity:
Constructed from high-grade carbon or low-alloy steel, our welded tanks are designed for extreme longevity. The material selection adheres to strict standards, considering the material's strength, toughness, and resistance to corrosion, as specified by codes like API 650. This inherent material quality, combined with advanced welding technologies and stringent quality control measures, ensures that our tanks can withstand harsh environmental conditions, seismic activity, and the internal pressures exerted by large volumes of crude oil. Properly maintained, these tanks can have an expected lifespan exceeding 50-100 years, offering a robust, long-term investment.
Robuste Korrosionsschutz durch fortschrittliche Beschichtungssysteme:
Given the corrosive nature of crude oil and the diverse environmental conditions tanks are exposed to, effective corrosion protection is critical. Center Enamel employs sophisticated coating systems for its welded steel tanks. Depending on the application and the specific properties of the crude oil, various primer and topcoat thicknesses are applied. We meticulously follow the ISO 12944 standard (Paints and Varnishes – Corrosion Protection of Steel Structures by Protective Paint Systems), an internationally recognized guide for corrosion protection. This allows us to provide tailored coating solutions that offer optimal defense against internal and external corrosive elements, extending the tank's service life and safeguarding the stored product.
