Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks: The Durable Tanks Solution for Industrial and Municipal Storage
As a leading China Epoxy Coated Steel Tank Manufacturer, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) has pioneered the development of robust and reliable storage solutions for over three decades. With extensive experience in engineering, fabrication, and construction, we have established ourselves as a trusted partner in the global storage tank industry. Our commitment to innovation is exemplified by our collaboration with AkzoNobel, a leading global producer of paints and coatings, to develop an innovative, technologically advanced Fusion Bonded Epoxy product specifically for our tanks. This partnership allows us to deliver storage solutions that meet or exceed the most demanding international standards, ensuring longevity, safety, and performance for a wide range of applications.
The Technology: Fusion Bonded Epoxy for Unmatched Protection
The strength and durability of our epoxy coated steel tanks lie in their advanced coating technology. Unlike traditional paint applications, our Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) is a thermosetting epoxy polymer powder that is electrostatically applied to a steel surface. The steel panels are meticulously prepared through sandblasting to create an optimal profile for adhesion. The FBE powder is then applied and cured at high temperatures, creating a seamless, uniform, and robust protective layer that is chemically bonded to the steel.
This process results in a coating that is far superior to standard liquid paint. The high-quality FBE provides better mechanical resistance against shocks and is flexible, which significantly reduces the risk of damage during shipping, handling, and installation. This technological advancement also ensures exceptional edge coverage on panel edges and bolt holes, effectively eliminating the need for cathodic protection and providing a truly leak-free coating. The UV resistance of our FBE coating ensures durability and color consistency even in the harshest sun conditions.
Advantages of Epoxy Coated Steel Tanks
Our epoxy coated bolted tanks offer a series of distinct advantages that make them a preferred choice for various storage needs. These benefits are a direct result of our meticulous manufacturing process and the high-performance FBE coating.
Superior Corrosion Resistance: The hermetic seal created by the FBE coating provides a formidable barrier against corrosion, protecting the steel from the stored liquids and the external environment. This is especially crucial for corrosive liquids such as brines, acids, alkalis, and crude oil.
Reduced Product Loss: The leak-free design and excellent chemical resistance of the coating ensure the integrity of the stored product, which is particularly vital for volatile substances like biofuels, ethanol, and refinery distillates.
Extended Service Life: The exceptional durability and UV resistance of our epoxy coating ensure a long operational lifespan. For added longevity, the tanks can be repainted after years of service, extending the product's life even further.
Rapid and Cost-Effective Installation: The modular, bolted design of our tanks requires less heavy equipment and labor for on-site assembly. This not only speeds up construction but also significantly reduces overall project costs compared to welded steel or concrete tanks.
Ease of Repair: In the event of minor damage, the coating can be easily repaired in the field, minimizing downtime and maintenance efforts.
Versatile Applications: Our tanks are technically robust and can be used in the most demanding applications, including municipal water storage, industrial wastewater treatment, firefighting water reserves, and the containment of various industrial fluids.
Applications Across a Spectrum of Industries
The versatility of our epoxy coated steel tanks makes them suitable for a wide range of applications, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for diverse sectors.
Drinking Water and Potable Water Storage: The FBE coating is inert and non-toxic, making our tanks an ideal choice for storing drinking water. Our manufacturing process and materials ensure the highest standards of hygiene and safety.
Wastewater and Industrial Effluents: The robust corrosion resistance of the FBE coating allows our tanks to effectively contain and treat industrial wastewater and municipal sewage, which often contain corrosive chemicals and a high organic load.
Firefighting Water Storage: Our tanks provide a dependable and durable solution for municipal and industrial fire water reserves, ensuring a secure and ready supply in emergencies.
Crude Oil, Biofuels, and Distillates: The chemical resistance of the coating is essential for storing petroleum products, biofuels, and other refinery distillates, preventing product loss and environmental contamination.
Agriculture: Our tanks are widely used for the storage of irrigation water, liquid fertilizers, and animal waste, supporting sustainable agricultural practices.
Our products are certified to various international standards, including ISO 9001, NSF/ANSI 61, WRAS, and others, confirming our unwavering commitment to quality.
