Stainless Steel Tanks for Municipal Drinking Water - Top China Suppliers and Factory Solutions
LIDA offers a choice of Stainless Steel 304/316 bolted tanks to meet a variety of project requirements.
Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy containing more than 12% chromium and is resistant to corrosion by atmospheric and liquid media, it is widely used in the fields of food, medicine and water treatment.
Stainless steel comes in two grades: SS304 and SS316. Stainless steel 304 is suitable for general drinking water in most inland areas. For coastal areas with high salt spray or highly corrosive water, it is recommended to use 316L stainless steel containing molybdenum, which can improve corrosion resistance by more than 50%.
Through its innovative use of standardized prefabrication and bolted connections, SS bolted tank perfectly combines the superior performance of stainless steel with the engineering advantages of rapid deployment, flexibility, and ease of maintenance, providing a highly attractive solution for industries with high requirements for hygiene, timeliness, flexibility, and life cycle costs.
Stainless steel bolted tanks are made of SS304/316L panel and self-locked bolts, sealants, stiffener etc. They are now widely recognized as an ideal solution for drinking water storage.
Made of food-grade stainless steel with no coating, no heavy metal precipitation, and fully compliant with national drinking water standards. The smooth, dense surface inhibits bacteria and algae growth, maintaining excellent water quality.
Highly resistant to corrosion, chlorinated water, and mild chemicals. No risk of coating peeling or rust contamination, ensuring long-term safe storage of drinking water.
The polished interior is not prone to scaling or sediment attachment, greatly reducing cleaning and maintenance frequency while avoiding dead water zones.
Factory-prefabricated panels enable quick bolted assembly on site, shortening construction period. The structured design delivers strong seismic and hydraulic performance, ensuring stable operation.
Service life exceeds 30 years with low maintenance cost. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, non-polluting, and fully meets green water supply requirements.


SS304 is suitable for general drinking water storage in most inland areas, while SS316 (specifically 316L) contains molybdenum, which improves corrosion resistance by more than 50%. SS316 is recommended for coastal areas with high salt spray or highly corrosive water environments.
Yes. The tanks are made of food-grade stainless steel with no coating and no heavy metal precipitation. They fully comply with national drinking water standards. The smooth, dense surface inhibits bacteria and algae growth, ensuring long-term water quality safety.
The service life of LIDA stainless steel bolted tanks exceeds 30 years under normal operating conditions. They require minimal maintenance, and stainless steel is 100% recyclable, making them a cost-effective and eco-friendly long-term investment.
Thanks to factory-prefabricated panels and a bolted connection system, installation is significantly faster than traditional welded tanks. The standardized components can be assembled quickly on site, greatly shortening the construction period and reducing labor costs.
Yes. For coastal or marine environments with high salt spray, SS316L stainless steel is strongly recommended. As demonstrated in the Cook Islands project, SS316 tanks can withstand high-salt-spray conditions and extreme wind speeds of up to 67m/s, ensuring reliable performance in challenging climates.
LIDA stainless steel bolted tanks are available in a wide range of sizes and volumes to meet different project requirements. For example, available configurations include tanks from 29m³ (D3.82m × H2.82m) to 100m³ (D4.29m × H7.25m) and beyond. Custom dimensions can be designed based on specific site and capacity needs.
