Characteristics and Applications of Glass Fused Steel

Glass Fused Steel or GFS is an expression commonly used in the international storage tank and silo industry to describe a vitreous enamel coating applied to large hot rolled steel sheets. These tanks can be used to store water, other liquids, sludge or grain.

Features

Superior performance

GFS tanks are a leading solution, combining the advantages of both materials - the strength and flexibility of steel and the high corrosion resistance of glass. These tanks offer perfect corrosion resistance. In addition to their excellent corrosion protection, these tanks are smooth, non-stick and have antibacterial properties. They are also scratch resistant and have high inertia and high acidity resistance. The edges of the tank plates are coated with the same enamel material to avoid electrolysis of dissimilar metals, to prevent rust and to weaken the enamel bond.

Fast Installation

They can be installed very quickly and have the best qualities, such as anti-design. They are subject to local weather, but are very safe and skill-free, so there is no need for long-term training of employees. It is very low maintenance and easy to repair.GLS/GFS tanks can be combined with other technologies and are easy to reuse, relocate and expand with an attractive appearance.

Long life span

These tanks lead the list of water storage solutions and are primarily used as slurry storage tanks, biogas plant effluent storage tanks, and slurry treatment facilities. The tank panels are fully integrated with vitreous enamel, which is attached to the metal and offers several advantages over standard epoxy-coated or weld-painted tanks.GFS is a so-called factory-applied coating, as the enamel needs to be cured in a furnace at 820 - 850 degrees C. The resulting coating is extremely wear-resistant. The resulting coating is extremely wear and chemical resistant, and the coating application system provides longer tank life, longer tank life cycles. gfs Tanks have a product life of no less than 40 years, and low investment costs. They exhibit high performance and durability, and are strong enough to resist cracking and impact.

 

Applications

Agricultural biogas digesters
Brackish water, seawater
Dry bulk solids
Firefighting water storage tanks
Industrial wastewater
Leachate
Sludge from municipal facilities
Safe drinking water
Rainwater, etc.

What Can Water Storage Tanks Be Used For?

图片
A  water tank  is a container for storing water and is widely used in the agricultural, industrial and fire fighting sectors.     Common Uses of Water Tanks   Rainwater harvesting Rainwater harvesting is very suitable for water conservation purposes, especially in areas where water is not abundant. Rainwater is accumulated and stored for reuse, rather than simply allowed to run meaninglessly to the ground.   Potable Water Storage Storage of potable water is a common application. What is extraordinary is knowing the myth of storing potable water. It is that water will expire. As the name implies, water does not expire, but it can become chemically or biologically contaminated. Once the taste goes bad, it can be purified by simply rotating the container. To store drinking water indefinitely, keep it in a cool, shaded area, not directly on a concrete surface or on harsh fumes and chemicals.   For irrigation agricultural purposes Irrigation and agricultural water tanks play an important ro

Advantages of GFS Bolted Tanks

图片
High-capacity storage tanks are necessary framework in the petroleum, chemical, fire security, food processing, wastewater treatment, gas, and also various other industries, and tanks play a vital function in the worldwide economic growth. With the continual advancement of the storage tank industry,   a growing number of markets and also ventures utilize tanks  to keep various liquids, gases, and also resources, which can not be produced typically for lots of enterprises without a storage tank. Standard large storage tanks primarily consist of carbon steel welded tanks and also concrete tanks. Carbon steel welded tanks require to be welded on site by proficient welders. It is necessary to check for leaks to ensure that the tanks will certainly not leakage. Concrete tanks require a lot of time for treating, and they need to be secured as well as waterproofed for a lengthy installation duration. Today, one of the most advanced storage tank solution in the tank market is the enamel set up
