Glass-lined steel digesters and tanks (GFS or GLS)
GFS or GLS glass-lined steel digesters and tanks are an advanced solution for the digestion and storage of different types of fluids with varying degrees of liquidity. They are produced through a process of heating to a high temperature of 820°C-930°C, which causes the coating to react with the surface of the steel panel.
This process maximises the performance of both materials, forming a robust bond that is resistant to abrasion and corrosion. The technique combines the hardness and flexibility of steel with the excellent anti-corrosive properties of the vitreous coating, enabling our solutions to provide many years of service in harsh environments and demanding applications.
They offer a proven and reliable storage solution, backed by decades of successful applications in a variety of demanding environments. Consulting engineers, contractors, and customers enjoy a number of significant benefits when choosing this option over other tank and digester construction methods.
The bolted modular construction of vitrified steel tanks allows for quick and cost-effective on-site installation, reducing both project timelines and costs. Furthermore, this method minimises the need for large equipment on the job site, further simplifying the process.
This type of technology results in lower operating costs compared to other storage options, thanks to its durable, wear- and corrosion-resistant design. Furthermore, they require minimal maintenance throughout their service life, further reducing long-term maintenance costs.
