Glass-Fused-To-Steel-Tanks

All tanks are not made equivalent! The glass-fused-to-steel technology conveys more prominent lifetime value than welded or concrete tanks. Glass-Fused-to-Steel is a remarkable tank wrap up. Two materials are fused together to accomplish the best properties of both – the quality and adaptability of steel joined with the corrosion resistance of glass. Connected to both inside and outside surfaces, Glass-Fused-to-Steel is ready to produce many years of trouble free service in harsh environments.

YHR, Beijing has the Asia’s largest manufacturing set up for enameled steel plate. These tanks are available in sizes ranging from 100 m3 to 10000 m3 and are focused on Effluent & Sewage Treatment, Biogas & Bio-methane generation, Molasses and other ultra large liquid storage applications. YHR has a strong pedigree of over 3000 GFS tanks constructed and operational globally over the past 13 years. SAIPL, the leader in Zincalume® Steel Bolted liner tanks in India, has tied up with YHR to bring GFST technology to India. Technical expertise of YHR combined with execution excellence of SAIPL, will create a win-win for our esteemed clients.

Why choose Glass-Fused-To-steel Technology:

A) Faster Construction Speed: Since all the tank steel plates and accessories are prefabricated in factory and easily assembled, Glass-fused tanks can be installed in many types of weather conditions which site constructed steel and concrete tanks cannot. Tanks are assembled with a jacking system that progressively elevates the structure without the need for expensive cranes and extensive scaffolding. This construction method enables rapid, logical progress for timely completion.

B) Convenient & Safe Installation Work: Most of the work is done on the ground hence there is more safety and less risk of working onsite. Other tanks involve long development period.

C) Super Anti Corrosion Performance:
GFTS Coating Thickness: 0.25~0.45mm, double sides coating PH application range:

  • Standard coating pH value: 3~11; well qualified for biogas application.
  • Special glass coating PH: 1-4.
  • Adhesive power: 3,450 N/cm;
  • GFTS Coating Elasticity: the same to the steel plate, in 500 kN/mm;
  • Service Life is greater than 30 years.

D) Better And Easy Quality Control:
All items prefabricated and assembled on site, unlike pouring or welding on site.Can be installed in any weather. Not dependent on workers skill, sense of responsibility or mood.

E) Less & Easy Civil Work:
Concrete and welded tanks can have long lead and construction times. Glass Fused Tanks are easy to install because of construction is done on ground with less manpower and fewer machines.

F) Low Maintenance Cost : 
High yield strength steel and enameled coating with high abrasion-proof. Concrete tanks are expensive, usually take longer to construct than Glass-fused tanks. Concrete tanks always need a maintenance because design specification of concrete tanks allow for some level of cracking, leaking.

G) Beautiful Appearance Which Makes Your Plant Value-Added:
Assurance you will receive the highest engineered quality, best service, longest product life and greatest value in liquid storage tanks.

H) Reasonable Price Compared With Concrete Tank:
Concrete and welded tanks can have long lead and construction times. Glass Fused Tanks are easy to install because of construction is done on ground with less manpower and fewer machines.
