Tainless Steel Tanks for Municipal Portable Water
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.
• Hygienic & Safe
Made of foodgrade 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.
• Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Highly resistant to corrosion, chlorinated water, and mild chemicals. No risk of coating peeling or rust contamination, ensuring longterm safe storage of drinking water.
• Smooth Inner Surface, AntiFouling
The polished interior is not prone to scaling or sediment attachment, greatly reducing cleaning and maintenance frequency while avoiding dead water zones.
• Fast Installation & High Reliability
Factoryprefabricated panels enable quick bolted assembly on site, shortening construction period. The structured design delivers strong seismic and hydraulic performance, ensuring stable operation.
• Long Service Life & EcoFriendly
Service life exceeds 30 years with low maintenance cost. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, nonpolluting, and fully meets green water supply requirements.
application
SS304 portable water storage tank: D4.29m x H7.25m, volume: 100m³
Location: Paraguay
