These types of bolted tanks are commonly called “glass lined” (GLT), “glass
fused-to-steel” (GFS) or “glass coated” (GCT) depending on the region where
they are installed, but these names all mean the same thing, that the tank panels
are lined inside and out with a glass enamel that binds to the metal providing
many advantages over standard epoxy coated or welded painted storage tanks.
The glass lining forms a hard, chemically inert layer that permanently protects
the steel surface from rust, corrosion, undercutting, abrasion and stains. In addition
UIG’s proprietary ECOGlass TM coatings are specifically engineered around your
application from pH zero to pH 14 providing even more corrosion resistance.
The Glass Fused to Steel construction of these bolted tanks is exceptional for
the storage of potable water, waste water, petroleum, chemicals and dry bulk and
in such applications as reservoirs (open top or with aluminum dome or flat panel
roof), power generation stations, standpipes, frac processing, fish ponds, sludge
tanks, trickling filters, high temp fermentation plants.
They are used in many different applications such as waste water treatment plants,
bio-gas plants and petroleum tank farms where steel corrosion would be an issue.
Glass Lined Tanks are quick to manufacture and can be erected easily in the field
with our experienced crew or by utilizing a supervisor and local labor.
