High Safety GFS Potable Water Storage Tank | China Suppliers & Factory for Durable Solutions
Description
Safety, cleanliness and odorlessness are essential requirements for drinking/potable water storage. Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks perform exceptionally well in meeting these standards.
The inner enamel layer is an inorganic glass coating sintered at a high temperature of 820°C – 930°C. It features stable chemical properties, is non-toxic and odorless, and does not release harmful substances into water, ensuring the safety of drinking water. Its surface is as smooth as glass, making it difficult for bacteria to grow. This greatly reduces microbial adhesion and scaling, is easy to clean, and maintains clear and pure water quality over the long term.
High-quality products will pass authoritative international certifications such as NSF/ANSI 61 (U.S. Drinking Water Standard), which serves as strong proof of their safety performance.
Uses of Glass Fused To Steel Tanks
Glass Fused To Steel Tanks are widely used in various industries and serve different purposes in different environments. These tanks are mainly used for:
Municipal: Drinking water, sewage treatment, sludge storage, wastewater treatment and anaerobic digestion and biogas.
Industrial: Wastewater treatment, storage, anaerobic digestion and biogas, process water storage and bulk solids storage.
Agricultural: Slurry storage, on- and off-farm biogas production, storage of livestock feeds such as hay, maize and high-moisture grains, and bulk solids storage.
Material Characteristics of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks
