Comparison between GFS Tank and Stainless Steel Tank

Features and Benefits

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS), also known as Glass-Lined-Steel (GLS), is the ultimate tank and silo solution utilising a proven product with significant benefits to customers, consultants, and contractors over other types of tank construction.

This solution utilises the Glass-Fused-to-Steel finish on both the inside and outside of structures to give long term protection and the following benefits:

Feature	Benefit
Long life span	Reduced operational costs
Modular bolted tank construction	Rapid and cost effective site installation – Reducing project timescales, costs and requirement for on site equipment
Flexibility to re-model	Tanks can be extended, dismantled and re-sited giving long term asset value
Optimum corrosion resistance of Glass-Fused-to-Steel	Safe and secure storage, with minimal maintenance costs
Complete range of diameter and height options with storage capacity solutions exceeding 50,000m3(13,200,000 US Gallons)	Most cost effective solution to meet customers needs

 

 

Comparison between GFS Tank and Stainless Steel Tank

Corrosion resistance

● Glass Lining Steel panel has good corrosion resistance against various chemical materials.
⇒Less cost to various applications

● Stainless Steel panel has inferior corrosion resistance for chloride.
⇒Not appropriate for some waste water treatment

 

Cost efficiency

● High intensity Glass Lining
⇒Less cost to various applications

● Stainless Steel panel is not able to realize strength and cost at the same time.
⇒Large cost has no good cost efficiency.

 

Robustness against environment

● Glass Lined Steel panel is suitable for the usage under severe environment such as seashore and aerial pollution.

● stainless Steel panel is vulnerable to severe environment and reduce product life time.
