Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Drinking Water Storage: A safe,
high-integrity vessel solution for potable water infrastructure.
Drinking water storage demands the most stringent quality and safety standards of any
fluid containment application. The vessel must be chemically inert,
non-leaching, and structurally sound to protect potable water from contamination and maintain its quality over years of service.
Achieving this requires a safe, high-integrity vessel solution that prevents external contaminants while offering robust
structural support. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank is specifically engineered to meet these exacting requirements. At
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we
utilize FBE bolted steel technology to deliver certified,
high-performance reservoirs that serve as a reliable, safe, high-integrity vessel solution for potable water
infrastructure globally.
The Non-Negotiable Demands of Potable Water Storage
Containment for drinking water is judged by three non-negotiable criteria: safety, structural
integrity, and long-term hygiene:
Public Health Safety and Inertness: Any material in contact with potable water must be non-toxic and certified to ensure zero leaching of harmful
substances (e.g., heavy metals or volatile organic compounds
($text{VOC}$s)) into the stored water. The solution must be safe for human consumption.
Contamination Prevention (High-Integrity): Reservoirs must be sealed and structurally sound to prevent
ingress of external contaminants, insects, or environmental
pollutants. This requires a high-integrity vessel design that guarantees superior sealing at every junction.
Structural Durability and Seismic Resilience: Municipal and rural potable water infrastructure requires massive, long-life storage capacity. The vessel must be
structurally robust to withstand immense liquid weight, wind loads,
and seismic events, ensuring continuity of supply.
Corrosion Resistance: Although generally non-corrosive, stored water, especially when
treated with chlorine or other disinfectants, requires a corrosion-resistant internal surface to prevent tank material degradation and
subsequent contamination.
A reliable water network depends on a safe, high-integrity vessel solution that maintains water quality under all conditions.
The FBE Solution: A Safe, High-Integrity Vessel for Potable Water
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
engineered to excel as a safe, high-integrity vessel solution for drinking water storage:
Potable Water Certification (Safe): The FBE coating is manufactured from non-toxic, inert materials
and often holds certifications from recognized international
authorities for safe contact with potable water. This guarantees that the lining will not contaminate the stored
water, making it a truly safe solution.
Sealed, High-Integrity Structure: The precise engineering of the bolted panels and the use of
specialized sealants ensure a gas-tight, liquid-tight connection.
This high-integrity vessel design effectively prevents external environmental contaminants
from entering the drinking water supply, a vital function for protecting public health.
Superior Structural Strength: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, FBE tanks
offer immense structural strength, making them ideal for
high-volume storage in municipal or rural contexts. Their robust
construction provides long-term security against heavy loads and
extreme weather.
Corrosion and Chlorine Resistance: The FBE coating is a durable, non-porous finish that is highly
resistant to the corrosive effects of chlorine and chloramine
disinfectants commonly used in potable water treatment, ensuring the tank structure remains protected for
decades.
Rapid, Cost-Effective Deployment: The modular design allows for extremely fast on-site assembly,
minimizing construction time and disruption to the water supply
network. This is particularly advantageous for emergency storage or
rapid expansion of rural water systems.
Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Potable Water
Infrastructure
The FBE tank's certified safety and structural integrity make it an
essential component across all types of potable water infrastructure:
Municipal Ground and Elevated Storage: Serving as large-volume reservoirs, replacing or supplementing
traditional concrete structures with a safe, high-integrity vessel that guarantees quality.
Rural and Remote Water Supply Systems: Providing quick-to-erect, reliable storage for decentralized or newly developed water supply networks,
ensuring community access to safe water.
Reverse Osmosis (RO) Treated Water: Ideal for storing high-purity water, as the inert FBE lining
protects the water from secondary contamination after advanced
treatment.
Emergency and Disaster Relief Storage: The tank's ease of transport and rapid assembly make it a crucial
asset for establishing immediate, safe water reserves.
