Why Choose Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Sewage Treatment?

The treatment of sewage and wastewater often involves challenging environmental conditions. Whether it's dealing with acids, alkalines, sulfides, or other corrosive elements, sewage storage and treatment systems need tanks that can withstand these harsh environments for decades.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks provide the ultimate solution for these extreme conditions, offering a number of benefits that ensure long-term reliability, reduced maintenance costs, and excellent corrosion resistance. Below are the key reasons why Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are the ideal choice for sewage treatment applications.

1. Superior Resistance to Corrosive Attacks

One of the most significant challenges in sewage treatment is corrosion. The highly corrosive nature of sewage, which often contains organic acids, sulfides, and other harsh chemicals, can cause traditional tank materials such as concrete and steel to deteriorate over time. This not only compromises the structural integrity of the tank but also increases the need for frequent repairs and replacements.

Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are manufactured by fusing glass at high temperatures onto the surface of steel, creating a smooth, non-porous, and highly resistant barrier. This barrier offers exceptional protection against the corrosive agents found in sewage and wastewater. The glass coating prevents the steel from coming into direct contact with the aggressive substances in sewage, ensuring the tank's longevity and reliability.

Whether you're storing municipal sewage, industrial effluents, or wastewater, our GFS tanks maintain their performance even in highly corrosive environments, offering a long lifespan with minimal maintenance.

2. Unmatched Resistance to Abrasion

In addition to corrosion, sewage treatment often involves the movement of solids and sludge that can cause significant wear and tear on storage tanks. The abrasive action of suspended solids and grit in sewage can wear down conventional tank surfaces, leading to erosion, leaks, and potential failure.

Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are not only highly resistant to corrosion but also to abrasion. The glass enamel coating provides a hard, durable surface that can withstand the mechanical stress caused by abrasive materials. This makes GFS tanks an ideal choice for sludge storage, where the tank walls need to endure constant wear from solid waste particles. The superior abrasion resistance ensures the tank's structural integrity over time, reducing the need for costly repairs and downtime.

3. Low Maintenance and Long Lifespan

The inherent durability of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks means that they require very little maintenance. The glass enamel coating is designed to last for decades, even in harsh environments. Unlike concrete tanks, which may crack or deteriorate over time, or steel tanks, which are susceptible to rust and corrosion, GFS tanks maintain their performance for the long term with minimal maintenance.

In addition, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks do not require the frequent resurfacing or recoating that is common with other materials. Once the glass enamel coating is applied, it forms a permanent bond with the steel, creating a seamless, corrosion-resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

4. Hygienic and Safe for Sewage Storage

The non-porous surface of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks helps prevent the growth of bacteria, algae, and other harmful microorganisms, which can be problematic in sewage treatment systems. This makes them a more hygienic option compared to other materials, reducing the risk of contamination.

Additionally, the smooth surface makes it easier to clean the interior of the tank, ensuring that sewage or wastewater remains safely stored without risk of contamination or microbial growth. This helps maintain the integrity and quality of the stored sewage, which is crucial for compliance with environmental and public health standards.

5. Designed for Harsh Conditions

Sewage treatment tanks are often located in areas with extreme weather or operational conditions. Whether subjected to high temperatures, freezing conditions, or intense UV exposure, the durability of the tank material is critical.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are designed to perform in a wide range of environmental conditions, making them perfect for both industrial and municipal sewage treatment facilities. The high temperature and chemical resistance of the glass enamel coating ensures that the tanks will not degrade over time, even in the harshest of environments. Furthermore, our GFS tanks can be custom designed to fit any location, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific sewage storage needs.

6. Cost-Effective Solution for Sewage Treatment

While Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks may have a higher initial cost compared to concrete or GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) tanks, their long-term value is unmatched. The durability and low maintenance of GFS tanks result in significant cost savings over time. With no need for frequent repairs or replacements, GFS tanks offer an economically viable option for sewage treatment facilities looking for a reliable, cost-effective solution for wastewater storage.

7. International Standards and Certifications

At Center Enamel, we are committed to producing tanks that meet the highest industry standards. Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are certified to international standards such as AWWA D103-09, NSF/ANSI 61, ISO 28765, ISO 9001, CE/EN 1090, and NFPA, ensuring that every tank we produce meets the stringent requirements for safety, quality, and performance.
