Glass Lined Storage Tank
Product Description
A glass lined storage tank, also referred to as an enamel-lined
steel tank, is a specialized storage vessel designed to offer
superior protection against corrosion and contamination. This
advanced technology integrates the structural integrity of steel
with the non-reactive and corrosion-resistant properties of glass
enamel, resulting in a highly durable and reliable storage solution
suitable for various applications.
High-grade steel plates are selected as the base material due to
their exceptional strength and durability. These plates form the
robust structure of the tank, ensuring it can withstand diverse
environmental conditions and mechanical stresses.
Prior to applying the enamel coating, the steel surface undergoes
thorough cleaning and preparation. All impurities, rust, and
contaminants are meticulously removed to ensure optimal adhesion of
the enamel layer. Proper surface preparation is essential for
achieving a strong bond between the metal substrate and the glass
lining.
A specially formulated glass enamel is applied in multiple layers
to the prepared steel surface. This enamel is designed to fuse
seamlessly with the metal substrate, creating a protective barrier
that is both smooth and non-porous.
The coated steel plates are then subjected to high-temperature
sintering, typically around 850°C (1562°F). During this process,
the enamel melts and bonds firmly with the steel, forming a
continuous and impermeable layer. Sintering ensures that the enamel
fully integrates with the metal, enhancing its durability and
resistance to chemical attack.

How to Install Glass Lined Storage Tank
Key Features and Benefits
Corrosion Resistance
One of the most significant advantages of these tanks is their
exceptional resistance to corrosion. The glass enamel lining acts
as a formidable barrier against corrosive substances such as acids,
alkalis, and solvents. This feature ensures that the tank remains
intact and functional over extended periods, even when storing
aggressive chemicals.
Hygienic and Non-Reactive Interior
The smooth, non-porous surface of the enamel lining prevents the
buildup of residues and contaminants. This characteristic is
crucial in industries where maintaining product purity is
essential, such as food processing and pharmaceuticals. The
non-reactive nature of the enamel ensures that no harmful
substances leach into the stored materials, preserving their
quality and safety.
Structural Strength
The underlying steel structure provides robust mechanical strength,
enabling the tanks to withstand high pressures and temperatures.
This makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, from
chemical processing to water treatment facilities.
Ease of Maintenance
The smooth enamel surface is easy to clean and maintain, reducing
the frequency of maintenance activities and minimizing downtime.
This characteristic is particularly beneficial in industries with
stringent hygiene standards.
Long Service Life
With proper installation and maintenance, glass lined steel tanks
can last for decades. Their durability and resistance to
environmental factors make them a cost-effective solution for
long-term storage needs.
Applications Across Industries
Chemical Industry
Ideal for storing and processing a wide range of chemicals,
including acids, bases, and solvents. The tanks'
corrosion-resistant properties ensure safe and efficient handling
of these substances.
Food Processing
Used for storing food-grade liquids and ingredients, ensuring that
products remain uncontaminated and meet strict hygiene standards.
The non-reactive enamel lining prevents any interaction between the
tank material and the stored food.
Water Treatment
Essential for municipal and industrial water treatment plants,
where they store treated water and chemicals used in the
purification process. The tanks' ability to resist corrosion and
contamination is critical for maintaining water quality.
Pharmaceuticals
Employed in the production and storage of sensitive formulations,
where maintaining sterility and preventing cross-contamination is
crucial. The hygienic and non-reactive interior ensures the
integrity of pharmaceutical products.
Petrochemicals
Utilized for storing and processing petroleum-based products, which
often contain corrosive compounds. The robust construction and
corrosion resistance of glass lined tanks make them indispensable
in this industry.
