Epoxy Coated Cylindrical Bolted Steel Tanks

Global Tankcom offers supply and installation services for epoxy coated cylindrical bolted steel tanks, renowned for their durability, versatility, and cost-effectiveness. These tanks are constructed using high-grade steel and coated with epoxy for enhanced corrosion resistance and longevity.
 

Engineering and Technical Details:

1. Material Composition:

   • Steel Construction: Cylindrical bolted steel tanks are typically constructed from high-quality carbon steel or stainless steel sheets. The choice of steel grade depends on factors such as the tank's intended use, environmental conditions, and the properties required for the stored liquid.

   • Epoxy Coating: Both the interior and exterior surfaces of the tank are coated with epoxy. Epoxy coatings are applied as a powder or liquid and cured to form a hard, protective barrier. This coating enhances the tank's resistance to corrosion and provides a smooth, durable finish.

2. Design and Construction:

   • Panel Construction: Tanks are assembled from prefabricated steel panels or sheets. These panels are manufactured with precision-cut edges and pre-punched bolt holes to facilitate easy and precise assembly on-site.

   • Panel Thickness: Steel panels typically range in thickness from 3mm to 6mm, depending on the tank's capacity and the structural requirements. Thicker panels may be used for larger tanks or where additional strength is needed.

   • Reinforcements: Structural reinforcements, such as horizontal girts, vertical stiffeners, and roof rafters, are integrated into the tank's design. These reinforcements provide additional strength and stability, ensuring the tank can withstand internal pressures and external forces.

3. Epoxy Coating Properties:

   • Corrosion Resistance: Epoxy coatings are highly resistant to corrosion from chemicals, moisture, and environmental exposure. This resistance is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the tank and preventing leaks or contamination of stored liquids.

   • Chemical Compatibility: The epoxy coating is chemically inert and compatible with a wide range of liquids, including potable water, chemicals, acids, and alkalis. It ensures the stored contents remain safe and uncontaminated.

4. Installation Method:

   • Bolted Assembly: The tank is assembled on-site using prefabricated panels. Stainless steel bolts and nuts are used to connect the panels together, forming a strong and secure bond. Gaskets and sealing materials are applied between panels to ensure watertight seals.

   • Modular Design: The modular design of bolted steel tanks allows for flexibility in sizing and configuration. Tanks can be easily expanded or relocated by adding or removing panels, making them suitable for various project requirements and site conditions.

5. Performance Characteristics:

   • Durability: Bolted steel tanks with epoxy coatings are highly durable and resistant to impacts, abrasion, and weathering. They offer long-term reliability with minimal maintenance requirements, reducing lifecycle costs.

   • Temperature Resistance: Steel tanks can withstand a wide range of temperatures, making them suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications. The epoxy coating enhances thermal stability and protects against temperature fluctuations.

6. Applications:

   • Potable Water Storage: Ideal for storing drinking water in residential, commercial, and industrial settings due to their hygienic properties and compliance with water quality standards.

   • Chemical Storage: Used in industries requiring corrosion-resistant tanks for storing chemicals, acids, and corrosive liquids. Applications include chemical processing plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and industrial manufacturing.
