Double Coating AWWA D 103 GFS Tank For Primary Secondary Sedimentation Tanks

GFS Tank is the Ideal Choice for Primary and Secondary Sedimentation tanks

The treatment of wastewater is a critical process in modern society to protect the environment and public health. One essential part of this process involves the removal of suspended solids and other impurities from sewage and industrial wastewater. Primary and secondary sedimentation tanks play a vital role in this treatment process. In recent years, Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks have gained popularity as an excellent choice for these applications.

Understanding Primary and Secondary Sedimentation tanks

Before delving into the advantages of GFS tanks, it's important to understand the functions of primary and secondary sedimentation tanks in wastewater treatment:

Primary Sedimentation: Primary sedimentation is the initial step in the wastewater treatment process. It involves the removal of large and heavy particles, such as sand, grit, and organic matter, from the incoming wastewater. Primary sedimentation tanks allow these solids to settle at the bottom, leaving behind a relatively cleaner liquid. This preliminary treatment reduces the organic load in the wastewater and protects downstream processes.

Secondary Sedimentation: Secondary sedimentation comes after biological treatment processes like activated sludge or trickling filters. In this phase, the remaining fine solids, microbial biomass, and flocs are separated from the treated water. Secondary sedimentation tanks help clarify the effluent before it undergoes further treatment or is discharged into the environment.

The Benefits of GFS Tanks

GFS tanks offer several advantages when used as primary and secondary sedimentation tanks:

Durability: GFS tanks are renowned for their exceptional durability. They are constructed by fusing two materials - glass and steel - to create a robust, corrosion-resistant structure. This durability ensures a long service life, even in aggressive wastewater environments.

Corrosion Resistance: Wastewater often contains corrosive substances, making corrosion resistance a critical factor in tank selection. GFS tanks are highly resistant to corrosion, ensuring that they maintain their structural integrity over time.

Chemical Resistance: GFS tanks are also resistant to a wide range of chemicals, which is essential in wastewater treatment where various chemicals are used for coagulation, flocculation, and pH adjustment. The tanks can withstand exposure to these chemicals without degradation.

Easy Maintenance: GFS tanks are relatively low-maintenance. They have a smooth, non-porous surface that is easy to clean, reducing the risk of solids buildup and bacterial growth. Routine inspections and maintenance tasks are simplified, saving time and resources.

Quick Installation: GFS tanks are typically faster to install compared to traditional concrete or steel tanks. Their modular design and ease of assembly contribute to shorter project timelines, which is often crucial in wastewater treatment plant upgrades or expansions.

Cost-Effective: While GFS tanks may have a slightly higher initial cost compared to some alternative materials, their long lifespan, low maintenance requirements, and reduced installation time result in significant cost savings over the life of the tank.

Environmental Benefits: GFS tanks are an environmentally friendly choice. They do not require constant repainting or lining, reducing the environmental impact associated with tank maintenance.
