Glass Fused to Steel Bolted Tanks

Industrial Effluent

Description

Stainless steel tanks are storage devices that are used to hold a large range of substances. Many industries use stainless steel tanks to hold substances such as chemicals, gases, food, water, and other bulk materials. Industries that rely heavily on stainless steel tanks include pharmaceutical companies, the food and beverage industry, agriculture, and sewage and wastewater companies. Stainless steel is the favored material of many industries for producing storage tanks because of its relative ease of use and flexibility. Stainless steel is prized for its ability to prevent corrosion, which makes it the ideal substance for storing hazardous materials. Stainless steel is also popular for its ability to resist extreme temperatures. To make stainless steel, the raw materials: iron ore, chromium, silicon, nickel, etc. are melted together in an electric furnace. This step usually involves 8 to 12 hours of intense heat. Stainless steel is considered an environmentally friendly material since the production process utilizes natural resources and energy. Storage tanks made entirely of stainless steel are eco-friendly and 100% recyclable. Not only are stainless steel water tanks easy to clean, but they are also much more hygienic than tanks constructed of other materials. If a tank is keeping water, food, or any other product inside, it’s imperative to always ensure hygiene and purity. Despite its durability, stainless steel can be bent, rolled, and shaped to fit all kinds of customized needs. Additionally, tanks can be designed in a wide variety of diameters, lengths, and heights, which offers flexibility for many industries with unique storage requirements. Stainless steel chemical tanks can maintain their shape and properties over an extended period of time, as well as over a wide range of temperatures, especially at extremely cold temperatures. Also, this material is less affected by UV light, which can significantly damage chemical storage tanks made of other materials.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) is glass that has been fired (heat-processed) in a kiln which facilitates the interfacial fusion reactions that combine the two materials. For there to be a fusion of two materials, there must be a chemical bond at a molecular level. Climate LLC is the market leader in the manufacture and supply of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks and Silos. Our company has been providing durable and cost effectively engineered containment solutions in Municipal, Industrial, and Agricultural environments worldwide. We export to over 52 countries and in excess of 10,000+ tanks, silos, and chamber systems have been installed worldwide, each with the ability to withstand local environmental extremes, from the cold of the arctic to the heat of the desert.

GFS sheets are produced under strict quality control, without any deviations from the standards. Each sheet is tested individually, and if a defect is discovered, it will be recycled, not repaired. Mastic is used as a sealant and designed for exactly that purpose. L-shaped, galvanized steel profiles are used for the base and the top of the tank fixings. They are curved to each tank individually. Depending on the size of the tank, a wind stiffener is also used, to withstand both the contents and the wind load. Tanks are equipped with inlet, outlet, overflow and drain connections as standard. According to customer requirements, connections are adapted according to the project specification. Very often it is necessary to install the tank with insulation. We offer a submersible 3 kW heater and external insulation. For each project specification, we recommend the right solution, in order for the stored substance not to freeze, even in the most extreme weather conditions. According to customer requirements, we equip tanks with accessories – side shell manway, caged ladder, service platform, etc.

Advantage of GFS Tanks:

  • Construction time – compared with concrete and welded tank building which usually take up months, the installation of GFS tanks takes just days.
  • Corrosion resistance – withstand the largest PH range from its contents.
  • Design life – designed for a 30 year lifespan.
  • Capacity – tanks can be easily expanded: not only can they be easily constructed, but also expandable, removed, and reconstructed.

Epoxy Coated Climate Tanks™ offers the premier epoxy coated steel tank that have a higher quality storage solution for storing a variety of light corrosive liquids including products such as drinking water. Our epoxy coated tanks are constructed from high-grade steel and coated with a specialized epoxy coating that provides superior resistance to corrosion and abrasion. A major factor in choosing our epoxy coated tanks that are 100% factory finished before shipment to the customer: the elimination of weather factors that occur when applying coatings in the field after constructing a tank. There is no waiting for the weather to be within specific conditions in order to apply the epoxy coating within the manufacturing process and careful monitoring lowers inconsistencies in the coatings. Our epoxy coated tanks provide a large scale of potential uses from potable water storage to fire suppression tanks and are more cost-effective than concrete, fiberglass, and field welded steel tanks.
