The Glass-fused-to-steel bolted tanks provide owners a low maintenance tank that offer a short lead time, and quick assembly for your potable water, wastewater, fire protection, leachate or equalization applications. The unique design and bolted assembly of the tank can be pre-engineered to allow for capacity in the future. Aquastore tanks can be erected in remote locations, can be designed for the location, and can be designed for future expansion. The engineers at Engineered Storage Products Company provide Aquastore tank designs to a wide range of standards, such as AWWA D103 Standard for Bolted Steel Water Storage Tanks, AISC, Factory Mutual codes and National Fire Protection Association Standard 22. Submittal drawings and design calculations with state professional engineering stamps are available for every tank.

Aquastore Glass-fused-to-steel tanks are found in virtually every segment of liquid storage market. Common applications include potable water, wastewater, process water, fire suppression water and landfill leachate.

Aquastore sectional bolted tanks offer several advantages that have contributed to their success. They are cost-effective. Compare the lifecycle cost of glass-fused-to-steel tank to a field welded or concrete tank and the difference is significant. Glass coatings do not require periodic repainting and most graffiti can be removed in a matter of minutes.

Factory coatings eliminate the weather delays and variables affecting the quality of field-applied paint. The unique design and bolt assembly of the tank can be pre-engineered to allow for capacity expansion in the future. Aquastore tanks utilize a variety of sealants with specific chemical resistant properties suited to the liquids to be stored. Best of all, their performance is dependable, with minimal maintenance cost.

Interior and Exterior Coatings

The heart of the coating system is a multi-step glass-fused-to-steel process. The fabricated sheets are grit blasted to a uniform, near white surface. The sheets are then inspected and pre-coated. Proprietary formulations of borosilcate, minerals, water and clays are blended into a sprayable slurry. After inspection, the slurry is fused to the steel sheets at temperatures above 1500°F to produce the distinctive glossy Aquastore finish. The molten glass reacts with the profiled steel surface to form an inert, inorganic chemical and mechanical bond. All three grades of coatings; Global Glass, Vitrium, and Glass97 share general physical properties, while each incorporates slightly different additives to meet specific needs for each of their applications.

Aquastore tank sheets are produced with an EdgeCoat™ process, which thermal sprays the edges with a proprietary stainless steel alloy. Glass is then added, double-coating the sheet edge with protective barriers. The result is a stronger corrosion resistance coating that does not rely on organic sealers for protection.

Engineered Storage Products Company continues to develop innovated glass coatings for specific demands. Our Vitrium glass-fused-to-steel coating was created to meet the needs of potable water storage. Our proprietary TiO2 glass, utilizes dramatically increasing toughness and durability characteristics while reducing production time. You get better potable water storage for less. Global Glass, Vitrium and Glass97 are ANSI/NSF 61 certified.
