The Essentials of Reverse Osmosis Water Storage
Reverse osmosis technology purifies water by forcing it through a
semipermeable membrane to remove contaminants, minerals, and
impurities. RO units typically produce purified water relatively
slowly, necessitating storage tanks to accumulate water and provide
immediate availability for use.
Key requirements of RO water storage tanks include:
- Preserving water purity with inert and non-contaminating materials.
- Maintaining pressurized water storage to ensure consistent flow
without booster pumps.
- Robust construction to resist corrosion and extend tank service
life.
- Hygienic design to prevent microbial growth and biofilm formation.
- Modular and scalable to meet varying usage demands from households
to large facilities.
What Are Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) RO Water Tanks?
GFS tanks are fabricated by fusing a high-quality glass enamel
coating to steel plates at temperatures around 820°C–930°C. This
process produces a chemically inert, smooth, and durable glass
layer permanently bonded to the steel substrate.
This technology uniquely combines the structural strength of steel
with the impermeability and hygiene of glass, making GFS tanks
ideal for storing RO-treated water which requires ultra-pure
conditions.
Technical Advantages of GFS Reverse Osmosis Water Tanks
- Superior Corrosion Resistance: The dense glass layer provides exceptional resistance against
dissolved gases and chemical agents in RO water that would
otherwise corrode standard steel tanks.
- Inert and Non-Leaching Surface: Glass enamel does not release metals, organics, or impurities into
the stored water, ensuring continued water purity suitable for
drinking, industrial processes, or pharmaceutical needs.
- Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The smooth glass surface prevents biofilm formation and
facilitates regular cleanability, crucial for preventing microbial
contamination.
- Mechanical Strength and Durability: The steel core withstands pressure fluctuations, temperature
changes, and mechanical impact during transport or installation.
- Pressure Preservation: Bolted panel construction provides leak-tight integrity to
maintain tank pressure, ensuring consistent water delivery at
faucets or process points without pumps.
- Long Service Life with Low Maintenance: Typically exceeding 30 years, GFS tanks resist degradation
eliminating the need for frequent recoating or repairs.
- Certifications and Standards: Center Enamel tanks comply with internationally recognized
certifications including NSF/ANSI 61, ISO 9001, WRAS, EN1090, AWWA
D103-09, and OSHA standards for water safety and structural
integrity.
