Glass is fused onto steel tank panels, which are then lined both inside and outside with glass enamel. This enamel forms a solid, smooth, and glossy layer of silicate fused onto the steel tank panels in a specialized furnace, where temperatures range between 780 and 900 degrees Celsius. This process endows the steel panels forming the tank shell with exceptional durability. The application of glass coats on both the inner and outer surfaces of the panels enhances their robustness. These panels are then secured using high-grade bolts and sealed with flexible silicones to ensure a tight seal.
The installation materials and shell accessories undergo comprehensive surface treatment. These glass-fused-to-steel (GFS) tanks excel in storing fluids of various types, including solid materials. Their unique selling proposition is being FM Global approved, making them ideal for industrial water storage. GFS/GLS tanks are essential for facilities involved in environmental technology, such as wastewater treatment, fire-fighting water storage, and anaerobic digester tanks.
