Glass Fused to Steel Bolted Tanks

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 supply of Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks and Silos. Our company has been providing durable and cost effectively engineered containment solutions in Municipal, Industrial, Commercial, and Agricultural environments worldwide. We export to over 52 countries and in excess of 10,000+ tanks and silos 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. Our 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.
