GLS Tanks: Durable, Versatile Glass Lined Steel Storage Solutions

GLS Tanks, also known as Glass Lined Steel or Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks, are designed to enhance the properties of steel by fusing it with glass. This fusion process increases the strength of the steel, broadens the acceptable pH range for alkaline solutions, and heightens abrasion resistance. These tanks are ideal for various applications, including storage of fluids, loose materials, and as essential components of environmental technology facilities such as wastewater treatment plants and biogas stations.

Innovative Process and Technology

The manufacturing process of GLS tanks involves lining the steel tank panels with glass enamel on both the interior and exterior surfaces. The enamel, a smooth and shiny layer of silicate, is fused to the steel in a specialized furnace with temperatures ranging from 780 to 900 degrees Celsius. The tank's cylindrical steel shell is constructed from two-layer glass-fused sheets, which are fastened using high-grade bolts and sealed with flexible silicone sealants. The connecting materials and shell accessories are treated with surface coatings to ensure durability and longevity.

Quality Assurance and High Standards

Each sheet used in GLS tanks undergoes a thorough inspection at the manufacturer's facility to ensure the enamel layer's completeness. This process involves the use of POROSCOPE (DEZ 4.13) and PINHOLE (DEZ 4.12) tests, as per DIN ISO 2746 standards. Additionally, the chemical resistance and physical properties are tested according to DIN standards, complying with the highest quality requirements established by the German Enameller's Association (DEZ).
