Glass Lined Steel Tank

About Glass Lined Steel Tank

GLS stands for Glass-Fused-To-Steel Tanks.

This technology involves bonding glass onto steel to significantly improve the steel's performance characteristics. The fusion process enhances the steel's strength, broadens the range of pH levels it can withstand-particularly in alkaline environments-and increases its resistance to wear and abrasion.

Water Tank India adheres to stringent European standards for applying the glass enamel coating on steel. We source high-tensile steel specifically designed for enameling purposes. The enameling process occurs at a high temperature of around 850^oC, using a "One Coat One Fire" technique without any undercoat. Our advanced PUESTA technology employs a complex bonding catalyst and electrostatic powder enameling to produce high-quality, competitive products.

The enameling process is a thermal treatment performed in specialized ovens at approximately 850^oC, which forms a tightly bonded glass layer on the steel surface. This bond is created through a combination of chemical and physical reactions. The resulting glass-lined steel offers outstanding corrosion resistance, excellent dielectric properties, high abrasion durability, a hygienic surface, temperature tolerance, and strong resistance to aggressive chemicals-making it ideal for long-term applications.

These tanks are user-friendly thanks to their quick and simple assembly, durability, and minimal maintenance requirements. Their robust construction suits complex uses such as bio-reactors, aeration and clarifier tanks, sludge and biogas tanks, containers for biological oil products, silos, and storage tanks for both potable and wastewater. Notably, our enameling process is nickel-free, environmentally safe, and approved for drinking water use. Additionally, we ensure the steel edges are carefully curved and protected to guarantee high-quality finishing.

Design Features:

Bolting System: The checkered bolt arrangement allows for straightforward assembly and disassembly.
Center Point Plate: Stainless steel plates at the panel junctions ensure the system's mechanical integrity.
GLS Tank Bolts: Our bolts are designed without edges that could damage the enamel coating around bolt holes. Stainless steel bolts are available upon request.
Ultra Glass Enamel Coating: Utilizing PUESTA technology, the enamel coating is highly durable, elastic, and free of nickel.
GLS Ring Groove Connection: This innovative connection between the tank wall and foundation ensures a fully sealed and integrated structure.
Enamel Protection Layer: A synthetic intermediary layer between metal parts and enamel safeguards the coating from damage.
Corner Protection: Additional layers are applied to protect the tank corners.
Rounded Edges (Optional): Edges can be rounded to provide comprehensive corrosion resistance.
Custom Panel Sizes: Panels are manufactured in various sizes to accommodate project requirements, allowing virtually any tank diameter while keeping installation manageable.
Top and Bottom Angle Plate Connections: Specially designed angle connections form a strong, smooth ring, enhancing the tank's overall stability and finish.
