When Engineered Storage Products Company entered the liquid storage market with glass-fused-to-steel bolted tanks in the 1970s, the company already had years of experience producing glasscoated tanks for the agricultural market. Environmental concerns were creating new demands for liquid storage tanks. As this market expanded, glass-fused-to-steel tanks proved to be a preferred choice for many applications. Today, Aquastore tanks are found in virtually every segment of the liquid storage market, storing potable water, wastewater, process water, fire suppresion water and landfill leachate.
Glass-fused-to-steel bolted tanks offer several advantages that have contributed to their rapid acceptance. They are cost effective. Factory coating eliminates the weather delays and variables affecting the quality of field applied coatings. The unique, bolted lap-joints speed assembly and the tanks can be pre-engineered to allow for future vertical expansion.
Bolted tanks can be erected in remote locations and can be designed for relocation. Best of all, their performance is dependable, with minimal maintenance cost.
The factory-applied silica glass coating on Aquastore tanks forms a hard, inert barrier for both the interior and exterior surfaces of the tank. It guards the steel core against weather and corrosion. The physical properties of the glass coating are specially suited to municipal/industrial liquid storage applications. Glass-fused-to-steel is impermeable to liquids and vapors, controls undercutting caused by corrosion and offers excellent impact and abrasion resistance. The color won´t fade or chlak.
Engineers al Engineered Storage Products Company provide tank designs to a wide range of standards, including AWWA D103 Standard for Bolted Steel Water Storage Tanks, AISC, FM codes and NFPA Standar 22.
