    Description

    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.

    Advantages of Stainless Steel Bolted Tanks for Drinking Water Storage

    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.

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
    Q What is the difference between SS304 and SS316 stainless steel bolted tanks?

    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.

    Q Are stainless steel bolted tanks safe for drinking water storage?

    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.

    Q How long is the service life of a stainless steel bolted tank?

    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.

    Q How quickly can a stainless steel bolted tank be installed on site?

    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.

    Q Can stainless steel bolted tanks be used in harsh marine or coastal environments?

    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.

    Q What sizes and volumes are available for stainless steel bolted tanks?

    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.
