Why Complying with AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 Standards Matters

The AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 standards are recognized globally as benchmarks for the design, construction, and performance of water storage tanks. These standards ensure that tanks are manufactured to handle the various environmental and operational conditions that can impact the safety and integrity of water storage systems. Here’s why compliance with these standards is critical:

1. AWWA D103 – The Standard for Water Storage Tanks in the U.S.

The AWWA D103-09 standard is the benchmark for the design, fabrication, and testing of steel water tanks in the United States. It ensures that tanks meet the rigorous requirements for safe drinking water storage, with a focus on:

Design: The tank design ensures strength, stability, and functionality, meeting specific engineering standards to withstand external and internal pressures.

Materials: Only high-quality materials are used, ensuring that the tank is durable, corrosion-resistant, and long-lasting.

Coating: The glass lining process, a key feature of Center Enamel's Glass-Lined Steel Tanks, is specifically designed to prevent corrosion and ensure the tank’s interior is safe for storing potable water.

Testing and Inspection: Compliance with AWWA D103 means the tank has undergone rigorous testing to ensure it meets performance and safety standards.

2. EN ISO 28765 – European Standard for Water Tank Construction

The EN ISO 28765 standard is recognized internationally and is focused on the design, testing, and performance of glass-lined steel tanks. This standard ensures the tank is suitable for storing water, especially drinking water, and complies with European safety regulations. Key elements include:

Corrosion Resistance: Glass-lined steel offers superior corrosion resistance, ensuring long-term durability, even in harsh conditions.

Material Integrity: The steel tank must maintain its structural integrity and be resistant to physical and chemical stressors.

Health and Safety Compliance: EN ISO 28765 ensures that the glass lining is safe for drinking water storage, with no risk of harmful chemicals leaching into the water.

Why Choose Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks from Center Enamel?

Our Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks are engineered to provide reliable and safe water storage while complying with AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 standards. Here’s why Center Enamel is the trusted choice for water storage solutions:

1. Exceptional Durability and Longevity

The Glass-Lined Steel (GLS) construction process fuses a layer of glass to steel at extremely high temperatures, creating a smooth, non-porous surface that is resistant to corrosion, even in the harshest environments. This fusion provides long-term protection against rust, degradation, and chemical reactions, extending the tank’s lifespan to 30 years or more.

This corrosion-resistant barrier makes Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks ideal for potable water storage in regions with extreme temperatures, industrial environments, or areas with highly corrosive water.

2. Safe and Hygienic for Drinking Water Storage

Our Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, meaning the glass lining is non-toxic and meets strict standards for drinking water safety. The smooth glass interior prevents bacterial growth and contamination, ensuring that the water stored within remains clean, fresh, and safe for human consumption.

The AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 standards ensure that our tanks are specifically designed for water storage applications, with features that prevent contamination, making them a trusted solution for municipalities, industrial operations, and residential water supply systems.

3. Modular Design for Easy Installation and Expansion

One of the key benefits of our Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks is the modular design. Tanks are manufactured in panels that are bolted together onsite, making installation quicker and easier compared to traditional welded tanks. Additionally, the modular nature allows for easy expansion of your storage capacity, should the need arise in the future. Whether you require a small tank for a rural community or a large-scale solution for industrial or municipal use, our modular GFS tanks are easily customizable to meet your exact needs.

4. Low Maintenance Requirements

The glass lining on the interior of the tank significantly reduces maintenance requirements. Unlike traditional steel tanks that require frequent coatings or repairs due to corrosion, Glass-Lined Steel Tanks maintain their integrity and smooth surface over time, resulting in lower operating and maintenance costs.

The smooth surface also minimizes sediment buildup, ensuring that your water remains clean and requires less frequent cleaning and inspection. This makes our GLS tanks both cost-effective and efficient over the long term.

5. Global Experience and Expertise

With over 30 years of experience, Center Enamel has supplied Glass-Lined Steel Water Tanks to more than 100 countries worldwide. Our tanks are trusted by major corporations and municipalities alike, including Coca-Cola, Heineken, PetroChina, and SABESP, to name a few. Our global presence ensures that we understand the diverse needs of our customers and can tailor our solutions accordingly.
