Understanding Regulation Tanks and Their Role

Regulation tanks, also called balancing tanks or equalization tanks, are used to manage the flow, volume, and quality of liquids within complex systems. Their primary functions include:

• Stabilizing flow rates between different process stages or supply and demand fluctuations.
• Providing buffer capacity to absorb surges or irregularities in liquid volumes.
• Allowing homogenization of liquid quality, temperature, or chemical composition.
• Facilitating controlled release of liquids for downstream processing or distribution.
• Preventing sudden hydraulic pressure changes that could damage equipment.

Because they often handle treated water, industrial liquids, or wastewater with varying chemical properties, regulation tanks require robust construction materials that resist corrosion while ensuring product purity and operational safety.

What Makes GFS Regulation Tanks Special?

Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology involves fusing a high-quality vitreous glass enamel coating to steel plates at high temperatures (820°C to 930°C). This fusion creates a chemically bonded, impermeable glass layer that protects steel surfaces from corrosion, abrasion, and contamination.

For regulation tanks, GFS technology means:

• Chemical Durability: Resistance to acids, alkalis, salts, and organic matter present in water and industrial fluids.
• Hygienic Surfaces: Smooth, non-porous enamel inhibits microbial growth and biofilm formation.
• Structural Integrity: Steel substrate withstands mechanical stresses, temperature variations, and external environmental loads.
• Long Operational Lifespan: Tanks maintain integrity and functionality for decades under harsh conditions.
• Modular, Bolted Construction: Enables rapid assembly, ease of maintenance, and flexible sizing capabilities.
• Environmental Compatibility: Recyclable materials with low ecological impact.

Technological Advantages of Center Enamel GFS Regulation Tanks

• Superior Corrosion Resistance: The fused glass enamel coating prevents steel corrosion from persistent exposure to aggressive chemicals or wastewater constituents.
• Resistance to UV and Weather: Enamel coatings maintain performance and appearance under UV radiation and extreme climatic conditions.
• Smooth, Easy-to-Clean Surface: Critical for process industries and potable water applications to prevent contamination.
• Leak-Tight Assembly: Bolted panel design with high-quality silicone seals ensures minimal risk of leaks and environmental spills.
• Comprehensive Sizes and Capacities: Adaptable to small-scale pilot plants up to large municipal or industrial installations exceeding several thousand cubic meters.
• Certifications and Standards Compliance: Center Enamel’s tanks meet ISO 9001, NSF/ANSI 61, AWWA D103-09, EN1090, WRAS, FM, LFGB, and OSHA standards for water safety and structural soundness.
