Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tank: Design Compliant with NFPA-22

At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we understand the critical need for reliable and durable fire water storage solutions in industrial and commercial settings. Our Glass-Fused-To-Steel (GFS) Fire Water Storage Tanks are designed to meet the stringent requirements of NFPA-22, ensuring superior performance and safety for your fire protection needs.

NFPA-22, developed by the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), is the leading standard for the design, installation, and maintenance of water tanks for fire protection systems. Our GFS fire water storage tanks are specifically engineered to comply with these standards, ensuring they are capable of providing the necessary water supply during an emergency, with unmatched durability and efficiency.

What is a Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tank?

A Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tank is a specialized bolted storage tank constructed from steel panels coated with a glass-fused-to-steel (GFS) layer. The coating fuses glass to the steel at extremely high temperatures, creating a smooth, highly durable, and corrosion-resistant surface. This makes GFS tanks the ideal choice for fire water storage, where long-term performance and durability are essential.

At Center Enamel, our aluminum geodesic dome roofs are designed to meet international standards and offer superior protection against the elements, as well as corrosive substances and harsh weather conditions. These roofs are particularly beneficial for tanks storing oil, gas, water, chemicals, and other valuable or sensitive materials.

Key Features of Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tanks

1. Compliance with NFPA-22 Standards

Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tanks are fully compliant with NFPA-22, ensuring they meet the minimum capacity, pressure, and safety requirements outlined by this crucial standard. Compliance with NFPA-22 means that our tanks are designed to handle the high pressures of firefighting operations, providing a reliable and uninterrupted water supply for fire sprinkler systems, hydrants, and other firefighting equipment.

NFPA-22 specifies that fire water storage tanks must:

Be constructed of materials that ensure durability and long service life

Have sufficient capacity to provide water for firefighting over extended periods

Be designed with accessibility for inspection, maintenance, and testing

Withstand environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures and pressure changes

Our tanks adhere to all these requirements, ensuring they are dependable in emergency situations.

2. Unmatched Durability and Corrosion Resistance

One of the primary benefits of Glass-Fused-To-Steel technology is its exceptional resistance to corrosion. The glass coating creates a smooth and durable surface that protects the steel from rust, chemicals, and extreme weather conditions. This corrosion resistance is especially important for fire water tanks exposed to harsh industrial or outdoor environments, including chemical plants, factories, mining operations, and oil and gas facilities.

Our GFS tanks have a service life of 30 years or more, providing long-term reliability with minimal maintenance. The glass-fused coating prevents the accumulation of dirt and bacteria, maintaining water quality over time.

3. Quick and Cost-Effective Installation

The bolted design of our Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tanks ensures quick and easy assembly. Panels are pre-fabricated and factory-coated, which allows for faster installation on-site. This significantly reduces construction time and costs, while also minimizing the need for specialized labor or equipment.

Installation is efficient and can be completed without the need for welding or complex procedures, ensuring that the tank is ready to be used in firefighting operations as quickly as possible.

4. Customizable Design Options

At Center Enamel, we recognize that each industrial facility may have unique requirements for fire water storage. Our Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Tanks are highly customizable, allowing us to adjust the size, capacity, and accessories to meet the specific needs of your site. Whether you need a tank for industrial use, commercial use, or municipal applications, we can design a solution that fits your fire protection strategy.

We offer different configurations for access openings, inlet/outlet piping, and roof designs, providing a tailored solution to optimize tank performance.

5. Low Maintenance Requirements

The glass-fused coating not only offers superior corrosion resistance but also reduces maintenance requirements. The smooth, non-porous surface of the tank prevents the build-up of debris, algae, and bacteria, ensuring that the water quality remains safe for firefighting use. Routine maintenance tasks are minimal, reducing downtime and operating costs.

6. Environmentally Friendly and Sustainable

Our Glass-Fused-To-Steel Fire Water Storage Tanks are designed with sustainability in mind. The glass coating is made from natural materials such as silica and lime, making it an environmentally friendly option. Furthermore, the durable construction reduces the need for replacements or repairs, contributing to a more sustainable fire protection solution.
