Advantages of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks

November 01, 2023

Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS, also known asGLS, Glass-Lined-Steel) tanks are containers constructed by on-site assembly of standard GFS steel plates produced in factories. They feature quick installation, excellent corrosion resistance, and are suitable for applications such as water storage, oil storage, and anaerobic digester tanks.

Aesthetic Appearance:

GFS tanks primarily consist of GFS steel plates, self-locking bolts, and sealing gaskets, with the key component being the GFS assembly steel plates. These plates undergo a double-sided, double-layer enamel process, resulting in a smooth and glossy surface, resembling porcelain. The standard color is vibrant green, perfectly meeting modern industrial aesthetics. Custom colors can also be used according to user preferences.

 

Stable Quality and Strong Corrosion Resistance:

GFS steel plates are fully processed and manufactured in the factory, ensuring a high level of standardization and quality. These specialized titanium alloy steel plates, developed by our company, can have a thickness of up to 12mm. They are coated with two to three layers of enamel on both the inner and outer surfaces, with a total coating thickness of 300μm. After a heat fusion process, the enamel layer forms a strong bond with the steel plate. This protective layer not only prevents corrosion but also exhibits resistance to strong acids, alkalis, and high temperatures.

Short Installation Period:

GFS assembly steel plates are produced and processed in the factory using standardized methods. They are packaged and transported to the construction site for assembly, where the plates are connected using bolts. We have developed dedicated installation tools, making the process straightforward. Installation is minimally affected by weather conditions, and the installation timeline is easily controllable.

Simple Installation and Maintenance:

The installation of GFS tanks involves the use of specialized installation tools. Workers assemble the top plate of the tank from the ground and then lift it by one plate's height, continuing to add subsequent rings until the tank is fully installed. Throughout the process, workers remain on the ground, ensuring a simple and safe procedure. The excellent corrosion resistance of GFS steel plates ensures easy maintenance of GFS assembly tanks.

 

Expandable and Movable:

GFS assembly tanks are constructed by bolting together standard GFS steel plates, allowing for easy disassembly or reinstallation after initial construction. This makes tank expansion and relocation straightforward.

 

Standardized Equipment with High Degree of Equipmentization:

Strict internal management according to the ISO9000 management system is required. GFS assembly reactors are designed, processed, installed, and serviced as a complete system, utilizing assembly-line production methods, achieving standardization and equipmentization of GFS assembly tanks.

 

Cost-Effective:

The high strength and excellent corrosion resistance of GFS steel plates can save materials, while the straightforward and rapid installation can reduce labor costs significantly. These factors make GFS assembly reactors competitively priced, especially for large-volume tanks exceeding 5 meters in height, where the advantages are more pronounced.
