Glass-Fused-to-Steel Storage Tanks Offer Long Lifetime and Value

There are multiple advantages in using glass-fused-to-steel tanks for the storage of potable water, corrosive and other liquid applications. In addition to ease of assembly, they have greater lifetime value, far lower maintenance costs and little environmental impact compared with other liquid storage structures.

Initially developed as a proprietary process for fusing glass to steel for the manufacture of large, single-piece, glass-lined brewery tanks and, later, glass-lined hot water heaters, glass-fused-to-steel first went into service in tank form in the s as feed storage silos. While many are still used for agricultural purposes, these tanks have predominately been used for water, wastewater and other liquid storage uses since the s.

The physical properties of glass coating are especially suited to municipal and industrial storage applications because they form a hard, inert, inorganic barrier for both the interior and exterior tank surfaces and guard against weather and corrosion. Porcelain enamel is fused to steel at °F, creating the strongest bond possible between coating and steel. As a direct result of fusing glass to steel, the glass coating is impermeable to liquids and vapors, controls undercutting caused by corrosion and offers substantial impact and abrasion resistance.

Glass-fused-to-steel tanks require the lowest maintenance over the life of the tank compared to other storage structures, and they have an allowable service range of 140°F at 3 to 11 pH. 

Glass-fused-to-steel meets and exceeds a wide range of standards, including AWWA D103—Bolted Steel Water Storage Tanks, AISC, IBC, NBCC, FM and NFPA Standard 22.

what are Glass-Fused-To-Steel Tanks (gfs tanks)?

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS), also known as Glass-Lined-Steel (GLS), is the ultimate tank solution utilising a proven product with significant advantages. 

The Glass-Fused-To-Steel-tank is assembled from special steel plates, special sealing materials, self-locking bolts and other materials. It can be used for the sealed storage of gases, liquids and solids in biogas engineering, sewage treatment, grain storage, petrochemical industries and other industries. In the biogas project, the assembled tank is a container for storage and fermentation of various organic substances.

Why Choose Glass-Fused-To-Steel Tanks?

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (Glass-Lined-Steel) is a unique tank finish. Two materials are fused together to achieve the best properties of both – the strength and flexibility of steel combined with the corrosion resistance of glass. Applied to both interior and exterior surfaces, Glass-Fused-to-Steel is able to provide many years of trouble free service in harsh environment.

This system has been proven over many decades on thousands of installations, and is supported by International Standards, which cover the design and finish requirements such as EN ISO/ ANSI AWWA/ EEA/ BS.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel finish combined with its modular design and build concept offers an array of benefits to contractors and users. Some of these include:

1. High temperature resistant sealant, anti-biological corrosion.

2. Stable quality, good anti-corrosion performance, long service life of the tank; and it has the characteristics of resistance to strong acid, strong alkali, and high temperature resistance.

3. High-strength self-locking bolts with rubber caps have good water-stop and anti-corrosion effects.

4. Fast installation, capacity expansion and migration: The assembled tank body is spliced by standard steel plates with bolts. The tank body can be dismantled or reinstalled after completion and operation, and the tank body can be easily expanded and moved.
