What Are Glass Lined Steel Water Tanks?
Glass Lined Steel Water Tanks are composite tanks that combine the
strength and durability of steel with the non-corrosive properties
of glass. The steel panels are coated with a layer of glass enamel,
which is permanently fused to the surface through a
high-temperature process. This glass fusion gives the tank superior
resistance to corrosion, making it ideal for storing potable water,
wastewater, and other liquids.
The AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 standards define the specifications
for the design, construction, and quality control of Glass Lined
Steel tanks, ensuring that they provide optimal performance in
various environments. These standards cover everything from tank
materials and corrosion resistance to safety, durability, and
operational reliability.
Key Features of Glass Lined Steel Water Tanks
Corrosion Resistance
One of the key advantages of Glass Lined Steel tanks is their
exceptional resistance to corrosion. The glass-fused coating
prevents rust and degradation, even when exposed to harsh
environmental conditions, aggressive chemicals, or extreme
temperatures. This makes GLS tanks ideal for water storage in
diverse applications, including potable water, industrial water,
and wastewater storage.
Long Service Life
The glass enamel coating significantly extends the service life of
the tank. A Glass Lined Steel tank can last 50 years or more with
minimal maintenance, making it a cost-effective long-term solution
for water storage.
Superior Water Quality
The non-reactive nature of glass ensures that the water stored in
these tanks is not contaminated or altered by the material of the
tank itself. This is particularly important for potable water
storage, as glass does not leach any harmful chemicals or
substances into the water, ensuring that it remains safe and clean.
Durability and Strength
The steel core of the tank gives it exceptional structural
integrity, allowing it to withstand high internal pressures, harsh
weather conditions, and seismic activity. The fusion of glass and
steel creates a tank that is both lightweight and strong, providing
long-term reliability without the risk of cracking or warping.
Modular Design
Glass Lined Steel tanks are typically bolted modular tanks, which
means they can be easily assembled and disassembled on-site. This
flexibility allows for easier transportation and customization to
meet specific project requirements, including tank size, capacity,
and location.
Low Maintenance
The smooth, glass-like surface of the tank is resistant to the
buildup of scale, sediment, and bacteria, reducing the need for
frequent cleaning and maintenance. This results in lower
operational costs and reduced downtime.
Energy Efficiency
Glass Lined Steel tanks are also designed to be energy-efficient,
helping to maintain the temperature of the stored liquid. This can
be particularly beneficial for applications that require
temperature-controlled water storage.
The Importance of AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 Standards
The AWWA D103 and EN ISO 28765 standards are key benchmarks in the
design, manufacturing, and operation of water storage tanks,
particularly for potable water. These standards ensure that tanks
are built to provide long-term durability, maintain the quality of
stored water, and meet safety regulations. Here's how these
standards apply to Glass Lined Steel Water Tanks:
AWWA D103 Standard
The AWWA D103 Standard is widely recognized in the United States
and focuses on the design, fabrication, and maintenance of bolted
steel tanks for water storage. This standard ensures that Glass
Lined Steel tanks are:
Built to withstand external and internal stresses, including
seismic and wind forces.
Corrosion-resistant, with the glass-fused coating providing a
reliable barrier against chemical damage.
Manufactured with materials that meet stringent quality control
measures to ensure the tank's longevity and operational efficiency.
EN ISO 28765 Standard
The EN ISO 28765 standard, applicable to the European market,
covers the design, manufacturing, and testing of
glass-fused-to-steel tanks. This standard ensures that:
The glass enamel coating meets the necessary durability
requirements for water storage.
The tank structure is able to resist high pressure, ensuring the
safety and stability of the tank.
The tank's materials and construction meet the highest
environmental and safety standards, particularly for potable water
storage.
By adhering to these globally recognized standards, Center Enamel
ensures that our Glass Lined Steel tanks deliver superior
performance and reliability, while providing our clients with peace
of mind knowing that their water storage solution meets the highest
industry benchmarks.
Applications of Glass Lined Steel Water Tanks
Potable Water Storage
Glass Lined Steel tanks are ideal for drinking water storage in
municipal water treatment plants, remote locations, and disaster
relief scenarios. The corrosion-resistant design ensures that the
water remains safe and free from contaminants, while the tank's
durability guarantees a long service life.
Industrial Water Storage
Industries that require large-scale water storage, such as chemical
plants, power plants, and manufacturing facilities, benefit from
the strength and reliability of Glass Lined Steel tanks. These
tanks can be used for process water storage, cooling water systems,
and fire water storage.
Wastewater Treatment
Glass Lined Steel tanks are also used in wastewater treatment
facilities for storing effluents and sludge. The ability to resist
corrosion and withstand harsh chemicals makes these tanks a trusted
choice for treating industrial or municipal wastewater.
Fire Protection Water Storage
The AWWA D103 standard ensures that Glass Lined Steel tanks can be
used for fire protection water storage in emergency situations,
offering quick access to water in case of fires while maintaining
the integrity of the water stored.
