China Suppliers Factory Epoxy Coated Bolted Steel Tanks for Industrial Process Water Treatment and Storage
Description
Industrial process water treatment tanks are specialized storage and processing vessels designed to handle water used in industrial operations, including cooling, manufacturing, chemical processing, and wastewater treatment.
The core reason for choosing epoxy coated tanks (often called "FBE tanks") for industrial process water is that they strike a very good balance between corrosion resistance, construction efficiency, and overall economic efficiency. They effectively solve the storage problems of many industrial wastewater sources that are highly corrosive, have tight deadlines, and present complex site conditions.
The epoxy coated steel bolted tanks are made of steel panel which coated with the fusion bonded epoxy internally and externally. High-strength bolts were used for on-site connection and sealing assembly, so that it can achieve efficient corrosion protection and rapid construction, and is widely used in the field of environmental water treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q What are epoxy coated steel bolted tanks used for in industrial water treatment?
Epoxy coated steel bolted tanks (FBE tanks) are used to store and process water in a wide range of industrial operations, including cooling water systems, chemical processing, manufacturing processes, and wastewater treatment. Their strong corrosion resistance makes them especially suitable for highly corrosive industrial wastewater applications.
Q What pH range can epoxy coated tanks handle?
Standard grade epoxy coated tanks can handle a pH range of 3 to 11, making them suitable for most industrial wastewater environments. For more extreme chemical conditions, special grade tanks are available that can withstand a pH range of 1 to 14, covering both strongly acidic and strongly alkaline media.
Q How long is the service life of an FBE epoxy coated tank?
With a coating thickness of 80–450 µm and proper maintenance, epoxy coated steel tanks are designed for a service life of more than 15 years. Their resistance to chemical degradation and wear ensures long-term stability even in demanding industrial environments.
Q Are epoxy coated tanks safe for drinking water storage?
Yes. Food-grade epoxy resin formulations are available for epoxy coated tanks, making them safe for the storage of drinking water and food additives. These food-grade coatings are non-toxic and pollution-free, meeting relevant health and safety standards.
Q How are epoxy coated steel tanks installed on-site?
Epoxy coated steel bolted tanks use a modular panel design. The steel panels — coated with fusion bonded epoxy (FBE) both internally and externally — are transported to the site and assembled using high-strength bolts for connection and sealing. This approach enables rapid on-site construction and is adaptable to large or complex site conditions.
Q Can epoxy coated tanks be integrated with industrial treatment processes?
Yes. Epoxy coated tanks are highly versatile and can be integrated with a variety of industrial treatment processes beyond simple water storage. They can be configured as functional prefabricated reactors, including anaerobic and aerobic reactors, to meet diverse water treatment and process requirements across industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and environmental engineering.
