What Are Bolted Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks?

Bolted Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks are modular storage solutions made from steel panels coated with glass enamel through a high-temperature fusion process. This coating provides exceptional protection against corrosion, chemical attacks, and abrasion, ensuring that these tanks can handle the demanding conditions of wastewater storage and treatment.

Unlike traditional welded or bolted steel tanks, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks combine the best features of ceramic enamel and steel to create a durable and long-lasting storage solution. The bolted design enables easy assembly and disassembly, making them highly flexible and adaptable to different storage needs.

Key Features of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Wastewater Storage

1. Superior Corrosion Resistance

One of the most significant advantages of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks is their superior corrosion resistance. The glass enamel coating forms a smooth, non-porous surface that prevents rust and corrosion, even in highly acidic or alkaline environments that are common in wastewater storage.

Resistance to harsh chemicals: Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are highly resistant to the corrosive effects of sulfides, ammonia, organic acids, and other chemicals commonly found in wastewater.

Longevity: The corrosion-resistant properties ensure that the tanks have a long service life, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and replacement.

2. Modular, Bolted Design for Easy Assembly

The modular design of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks makes them quick and easy to assemble and disassemble. The individual panels are bolted together, reducing installation time and cost. This modular construction also provides flexibility in design, allowing tanks to be customized to meet specific storage requirements.

Adaptability: The modular panels allow the tanks to be easily expanded or relocated, providing an adaptable solution for growing wastewater storage needs.

Cost-effective installation: The bolted assembly method reduces the need for complex equipment and heavy machinery, making installation cost-effective and faster.

3. Large Capacity for Wastewater Storage

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are available in a wide range of sizes, with capacities ranging from 20m³ to 50,000m³. This makes them ideal for both small-scale wastewater storage for municipalities or industrial plants, as well as for large-scale effluent storage for major treatment facilities.

Tailored to your needs: The ability to customize tank capacity ensures that wastewater storage systems are optimized for specific needs and volumes, reducing excess capacity and ensuring efficient use of space.

Scalable solution: These tanks can easily be expanded as the need for additional storage grows, providing scalability for future demands.

4. Resistance to Extreme Weather Conditions

Another key feature of our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks is their ability to withstand extreme weather conditions. Whether in freezing cold or scorching heat, the tanks remain operational and reliable, ensuring that wastewater is securely stored year-round.

Suitable for all climates: These tanks can be used in both cold and hot climates, thanks to their glass enamel coating, which prevents damage from thermal expansion or contraction.

Non-leaking design: The bolted panels form a tight seal, preventing leaks, even in extreme weather conditions.

5. Low Maintenance and Easy Cleaning

The smooth, non-porous surface of the Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks makes them easy to clean and maintain. Unlike traditional concrete or metal tanks that may require frequent cleaning or have rough surfaces that harbor bacteria and contaminants, our tanks are highly resistant to scaling and build-up.

Minimal cleaning requirements: The smooth surface reduces the accumulation of sludge, algae, and bacteria, which are common in wastewater storage.

Cost-effective upkeep: With fewer maintenance needs, our tanks offer a cost-effective solution in the long run, ensuring that operational costs remain low.

6. Environmentally Friendly

As environmental regulations become more stringent, industries and municipalities are under pressure to manage wastewater in an eco-friendly manner. Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are a sustainable solution that helps reduce the environmental impact of wastewater storage and treatment.

Eco-friendly materials: The glass enamel coating is non-toxic and does not leach harmful chemicals into the environment.

Leak-proof design: The tanks provide safe containment for wastewater, preventing accidental leaks that could harm surrounding ecosystems.

Applications of Bolted Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Wastewater Storage

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are used in various applications where reliable and durable wastewater storage is critical. Here are some common uses:

1. Municipal Wastewater Treatment

Municipalities around the world use Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks for wastewater storage and treatment. These tanks are often used in sewage treatment plants for the temporary storage of raw sewage or treated effluents before being discharged or reused.

Overflow storage: During periods of high rainfall or stormwater runoff, these tanks provide essential storage for excess wastewater that exceeds the treatment plant's capacity.

Secondary treatment: Tanks can be used to store secondary effluent before further treatment or filtration, ensuring that the water meets quality standards before being released back into the environment.

2. Industrial Wastewater Storage

Industries such as food processing, chemicals, oil and gas, and pharmaceuticals generate large quantities of wastewater that require safe and effective storage. Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks provide the perfect solution for industrial effluent storage.

Sludge and waste containment: The tanks can store sludge produced during the wastewater treatment process or effluent before it is treated or disposed of.

Chemical wastewater storage: These tanks are resistant to chemicals commonly found in industrial wastewater, such as acids, alkalines, and solvents.

3. Agricultural Wastewater Storage

Agricultural operations, particularly those in the livestock and crop farming sectors, produce significant volumes of wastewater that must be safely stored and treated. Our tanks are ideal for storing agricultural effluent before treatment or disposal.

Manure treatment: Agricultural facilities can use these tanks to store animal waste and manure for treatment in anaerobic digesters, which can convert the waste into biogas and fertilizer.

Irrigation runoff: These tanks also store wastewater generated from irrigation systems or crop washing before treatment and safe discharge.

4. Emergency Storage for Wastewater Management

In emergencies, such as overflow events or when treatment facilities are temporarily out of service, our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks provide temporary storage for wastewater. These tanks help prevent contamination of the surrounding environment by containing the excess wastewater until normal operations are restored.

Stormwater management: During heavy rains or flooding, these tanks can store stormwater runoff that exceeds the capacity of local treatment plants.

Backup storage: Our tanks can serve as emergency storage during plant upgrades, maintenance, or unforeseen breakdowns.
