In industrial and municipal infrastructure, the integrity of raw water storage is the foundation of operational reliability. Untreated water—sourced from rivers, lakes, or reservoirs—demands containment solutions that can resist environmental degradation while maintaining water quality for downstream processes. Center Enamel (Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd.) has established itself as the global leader in bolted steel storage technology, providing advanced, modular, and corrosion-resistant tanks that set the industry benchmark for long-term raw water containment.
Center Enamel’s core strength lies in its high-performance coating technologies, which transform standard steel into a durable, inert storage vessel.
Center Enamel’s GFS (also known as Glass-Lined Steel) tanks are manufactured by fusing molten glass onto steel plates at temperatures between 820°C and 930°C.
● Corrosion Immunity: The glass-steel bond is chemically inert, providing a surface that is impervious to rust, oxidation, and chemical attack.
● Water Purity: The non-porous glass interior prevents heavy metal leaching and algae growth, ensuring the raw water remains free of contaminants that could foul downstream filtration systems.
● Lifecycle: Engineered for a 30+ year service life, these tanks require minimal maintenance, offering the lowest total cost of ownership in the industry.
For projects requiring high impact resistance and cost-optimized design, Center Enamel offers advanced FBE-coated tanks.
● Molecular Bond: The epoxy is thermally fused to the steel, creating a robust protective barrier that resists abrasion and chemical stress.
● Adaptability: FBE tanks are ideal for diverse industrial applications where chemical resistance and structural flexibility are paramount.
Center Enamel’s bolted tank systems offer specific advantages that align with modern industrial and municipal procurement requirements:
● Modular & Scalable: The bolted panel design allows for rapid, cost-effective on-site installation. Projects can be scaled in capacity or even relocated if operational needs evolve—a flexibility traditional concrete or welded tanks lack.
● Rapid Deployment: Prefabricated panels arrive flat-packed, significantly shortening installation timelines compared to poured-in-place concrete structures.
● International Compliance: Center Enamel’s storage systems are manufactured in strict accordance with global standards, including NSF/ANSI 61, AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, and EN 1090. This ensures that every tank meets the highest safety and environmental benchmarks.
● Global Reach: With exports to over 100 countries, Center Enamel provides comprehensive EPC technical support, from initial CAD/BIM design to on-site assembly and commissioning.

Q: Are Center Enamel’s GFS tanks suitable for drinking water storage?
A: Yes. Center Enamel’s GFS tanks are NSF/ANSI 61 certified, making them fully compliant for potable water storage. They prevent any chemical leaching, ensuring the water remains pure throughout its storage lifecycle.
Q: Can these tanks be customized for specific industrial site requirements?
A: Absolutely. Center Enamel provides full EPC technical support. Their engineering team provides custom design and construction drawings, tailoring the tank’s dimensions, fittings, and roof systems (Aluminum Dome, GFS, or Membrane) to match your site-specific layout.
Q: What is the maintenance burden for a Center Enamel water tank?
A: Thanks to the inert nature of the GFS and FBE coatings, maintenance is minimal. Unlike traditional steel tanks that require routine repainting, Center Enamel tanks do not require surface treatment, significantly reducing operational expenses over the asset's lifespan.
Investing in Center Enamel’s storage technology is a commitment to operational efficiency and environmental safety. By choosing modular, corrosion-resistant bolted steel solutions, you secure a water storage asset that is engineered for resilience and validated by international quality standards.
