What is Glass Fused to Steel Tank (GFS)

Glass Fused to Steel (GFS) bolted panel tanks combine the strength and design flexibility of steel, with exceptional corrosion resistance and hygiene benefits of glass. GFS is an inert Vitreous Glass Enamel coating, applied to 100% of the surface area of each steel panel and fired at 800-850°C to create a mechanical and chemical fusion bond between the glass coating and the steel substrate. The finished coating has a strong resistance to algae and bacterial growth, and is excellent for potable water storage, as well as storage of a wide variety of more corrosive water and wastewater media. The GFS coating exhibits a hard, tough surface which is impervious to liquids and vapors, and is highly UV resistant.

Glass Fused to Steel Tank (GFS) Benefits

TRANSPORT

All tank components and panels are pack and transported on pallet. The dimension and weight of the tank and its accessories are so minimal and low weight than even for larger installation can be transported and mobilize to long distances easily and at low cost.

ECONOMICAL

Because of the tank good quality and long service life, it required less maintenance and tank repair thus making GFS TANK a good choice for water and dry storage solution and utility investment.

EFFICIENCY

GFS TANK is a bolted and panel type storage solution that can be install fast and quickly by professional installer team. Every installation site is supervised by trained personnel to guarantee that the installation is in accordance with the GFS TANK Installation Manual and to have a trouble free implementation of tank assembly work.

FLEXIBLE

Tank capacity and volume can be increase by adding new tank rings to the existing bolted tank. This allow customers to utilize existing tanks for any tank volume expansion. New tank rings, accessories and pipes can be added to the existing tank even after years from the initial tank installation and assembly. GFS TANK can be dismantle from the original location and reassemble to the new location if tank relocation is required and necessary.

MAINTENANCE

GFS TANK panel or wall coating is a highly corrosion resistant coating for any storage application and even on harsh environment conditions. For this reason, less and minimal maintenance is required thus reducing the tank inspection work. The company can offer a professional services contract for tank inspection if customer required.
