Water treatment is a complex and essential process that ensures the safety and quality of our drinking water. Glass fused to steel (GFTS) panel tanks play a vital role in water treatment, providing a versatile and reliable solution for storing and processing water.
The benefits of GFTS panel tanks for water treatment
GFTS panel tanks offer a number of benefits for water treatment, including:
- Durability: GFTS panel tanks are incredibly durable and can withstand the harsh conditions of water treatment plants. They are resistant to corrosion, abrasion, and impact damage, making them ideal for long-term use.
- Hygiene: The glass coating on GFTS panel tanks is non-toxic and easy to clean, making them ideal for storing drinking water. The glass coating also prevents the growth of algae and bacteria, helping to ensure the quality of the stored water.
- Versatility: GFTS panel tanks can be used for a variety of water treatment applications, including storage, mixing, and clarification. They can also be used to store a variety of chemicals used in water treatment, such as chlorine and alum.
- Longevity: GFTS panel tanks have a lifespan of up to 50 years, making them a cost-effective investment for water treatment plants.
Applications of GFTS panel tanks in water treatment
GFTS panel tanks are used in a wide range of water treatment applications, including:
- Raw water storage: GFTS panel tanks can be used to store raw water before it is treated. This helps to ensure that there is a consistent supply of water for treatment, even during periods of high demand.
- Mixing: GFTS panel tanks can be used to mix chemicals with water during the treatment process. The glass coating prevents the chemicals from corroding the tank and helps to ensure that the chemicals are evenly mixed with the water.
- Clarification: GFTS panel tanks can be used to clarify water by allowing suspended solids to settle out. The glass coating prevents the solids from adhering to the tank walls, making it easy to remove them.
- Chemical storage: GFTS panel tanks can be used to store a variety of chemicals used in water treatment, such as chlorine and alum. The glass coating prevents the chemicals from corroding the tank and helps to ensure the safety of the stored chemicals.
Case studies: GFTS panel tanks improve water treatment operations in Australia
Case study 1:
A water treatment plant in Sydney, Australia, was struggling to meet the growing demand for water. The plant’s existing storage tanks were old and corroded, and they were no longer able to store enough water to meet the needs of the community.
The water treatment plant decided to install a number of GFTS panel tanks to increase its storage capacity. The GFTS panel tanks were easy to install and maintain, and they provided the plant with a significant increase in storage capacity. The tanks were also highly resistant to corrosion, which gave the plant peace of mind knowing that its water supply was protected.
Case study 2:
A water treatment plant in Perth, Australia, was having problems with the quality of its drinking water. The plant’s existing storage tanks were made of concrete, and they were leaching chemicals into the water. This was causing the water to taste and smell bad, and it was also raising concerns about the safety of the water.
The water treatment plant decided to replace its concrete storage tanks with GFTS panel tanks. The GFTS panel tanks were non-toxic and easy to clean, and they did not leach any chemicals into the water. This resulted in a significant improvement in the quality of the drinking water.
Conclusion
GFTS panel tanks offer a versatile and reliable solution for water treatment. They are durable, hygienic, and versatile, and they have a long lifespan. GFTS panel tanks can be used for a variety of water treatment applications, including storage, mixing, clarification, and chemical storage.
