Why Choose Glass Lined Steel Tanks for Water Storage?

Glass Lined Steel (GLS) Tanks are the perfect combination of steel and glass enamel, providing the structural strength of steel with the corrosion-resistant properties of glass. The glass is fused to the steel at high temperatures, creating a durable, non-porous surface that protects the tank from external elements, ensuring that it lasts for decades with minimal maintenance.

1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance

Water storage tanks are exposed to various environmental factors, including humidity, chemicals, and microorganisms that can lead to corrosion over time. Glass Lined Steel Tanks offer unmatched protection from these corrosive elements. The glass enamel coating acts as a barrier, preventing rust, scale, and bacterial growth, which can degrade the quality of the stored water.

Corrosion-resistant: The glass enamel coating provides superior protection against corrosion, ensuring the longevity and safety of stored water.

Prevents bacterial growth: The smooth surface of the glass enamel inhibits bacterial buildup, keeping the stored water clean and safe for consumption.

2. AWWA D103-09 and ISO/EN 28765 Compliance

As a global leader in the manufacturing of Glass Lined Steel Tanks, Center Enamel ensures that our products meet the highest industry standards. Our GLS Water Storage Tanks comply with AWWA D103-09 and ISO/EN 28765 standards, ensuring the tanks are designed and constructed for safe and reliable water storage.

AWWA D103-09: This standard ensures that our tanks meet rigorous specifications for the design, materials, and construction of water storage tanks, making them ideal for both potable and non-potable water storage.

ISO/EN 28765: Certification of the tanks for safe drinking water storage through compliance with international standards.

3. Durability and Longevity

The longevity of a water storage tank is essential, particularly in applications where the tanks are required to operate for decades. Glass Lined Steel Tanks are designed for maximum durability, and the glass enamel coating ensures they remain resistant to environmental wear and tear, guaranteeing long-term performance with minimal maintenance.

Longevity: With proper installation and maintenance, Center Enamel’s GLS Tanks can last for 30 years or more, making them a reliable and cost-effective long-term solution.

Minimal maintenance: The corrosion-resistant properties reduce the need for frequent maintenance, saving time and costs for facility managers.

4. Structural Integrity

Glass Lined Steel Tanks are designed with bolted steel panels, allowing for easy assembly and offering exceptional structural strength. These tanks are ideal for high-volume water storage and can withstand seismic activity, high winds, and other harsh environmental conditions. The bolted design also allows for flexibility in terms of tank size and storage capacity.

Seismic resistance: The modular design allows for slight flexing during seismic activity, making the tanks suitable for areas prone to earthquakes.

Wind and impact resistance: The bolted design ensures that the tanks are resistant to high winds and other environmental stressors, making them a reliable choice for outdoor water storage in various climates.

5. Customizable Design

One of the key advantages of Glass Lined Steel Tanks is their customizability. Center Enamel provides tailored solutions for various water storage requirements. Whether you need a small tank for a residential building or a large-scale tank for an industrial complex, our tanks are designed to meet your specific capacity and space requirements.

Variety of sizes and configurations: GLS Tanks are available in multiple sizes and configurations, making them suitable for a wide range of applications, from drinking water storage to industrial effluent management.

Flexible installation: The modular design allows for easy installation in varied locations, whether in urban or rural areas.

6. Environmental Friendliness

At Center Enamel, we are committed to sustainable practices. Glass Lined Steel Tanks are constructed with environmentally friendly materials, and the glass enamel coating is non-toxic, recyclable, and safe for the environment. Additionally, the durability of the tanks reduces the need for frequent replacements, helping to minimize waste and promote sustainable water storage practices.

Non-toxic materials: The glass enamel coating is non-toxic, ensuring that the water stored in our tanks is free from harmful chemicals.

Recyclable: At the end of their service life, the steel and glass enamel components can be recycled, contributing to sustainability.

7. Low Total Cost of Ownership

Glass Lined Steel Tanks are designed to minimize the total cost of ownership over their lifespan. The low maintenance requirements, long durability, and high corrosion resistance help reduce operational costs and increase the return on investment for the user.

Lower operational costs: The long-lasting design minimizes the need for repairs and replacements.

Energy-efficient: The smooth glass surface reduces friction and increases water flow efficiency, optimizing water storage systems.
