Key Features of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Potable Water Storage

AWWA D103-09 Compliance

The AWWA D103-09 standard is a rigorous set of guidelines established by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) to ensure the safety, performance, and integrity of water storage tanks. Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks meet or exceed these standards, ensuring that your potable water is stored in a safe, clean, and reliable environment.

Ensures Water Quality: The Glass-Fused-to-Steel coating creates a smooth, non-porous surface that prevents the growth of bacteria, algae, and other contaminants, maintaining the quality of potable water.

Corrosion Resistance: The glass coating fused to the steel at high temperatures forms a protective layer that resists corrosion caused by exposure to water, providing long-term protection for the tank structure.

Compliance with Health Standards: The tanks meet NSF/ANSI 61 certification, which guarantees that the materials used do not affect the taste, odor, or safety of the water.

Superior Durability and Long Lifespan

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are designed to last for decades with minimal maintenance. The fusion bonding process ensures that the glass coating is permanently bonded to the steel, creating a tank that is resistant to corrosion, rust, and wear.

High Resistance to Chemical and Physical Stress: The tanks are highly resistant to the chemicals commonly found in potable water, including chlorine, and they can withstand physical stress, such as extreme temperature changes or seismic activity.

30+ Years of Service Life: With proper maintenance, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks have a service life of over 30 years, providing a long-lasting and cost-effective solution for potable water storage.

Customizable Capacity and Design

Center Enamel offers a range of customizable tank sizes to meet the specific requirements of your potable water storage system. Whether you need a small-scale tank for residential or community use or a large-scale tank for industrial or municipal applications, we can design a Glass-Fused-to-Steel tank that meets your unique needs.

Tailored Solutions: We offer tanks with capacities ranging from 20m³ to 50,000m³, ensuring that we can provide the perfect storage solution for your project.

Modular Design: Our modular bolted design allows for easy expansion, enabling you to increase storage capacity as demand grows.

Fast Installation and Minimal Disruption

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks feature a modular bolted design that allows for quick on-site assembly. This reduces the installation time and costs compared to traditional welded tanks, and it minimizes the disruption to the surrounding environment during the installation process.

Easy On-Site Assembly: The bolted tank system means that installation can be completed quickly with minimal labor, reducing overall project costs.

No Welding Required: The absence of welding ensures that the installation process is safer and faster, with fewer risks associated with the use of heavy equipment and materials.

Low Maintenance and Cost-Effective

Once installed, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks require minimal maintenance due to their durable glass coating. The smooth surface resists corrosion, reducing the need for regular inspections, repairs, or cleaning. This makes them a cost-effective and low-maintenance option for long-term potable water storage.

Minimal Upkeep: The non-corrosive surface means the tank will not rust or degrade over time, and the water remains safe and uncontaminated.

Lower Total Cost of Ownership: Due to their durability and long service life, these tanks offer a lower total cost of ownership compared to other storage options.
