TecTank® Galvanized
CST® is a Galvanized Tank Pioneer
Galvanized tanks are an economical way of storing liquids and are primarily used for the storage of oil and gas, fire protection water, industrial liquids, potable water and wastewater applications. For over 130 years, CST has provided galvanized storage tank systems. CST was the first manufacturer in the world to receive its API-12B monogram certification (License Number 12B-0004, Parsons, Kansas, facility).
CST offers galvanized TecTank storage systems in either flat panel or chime panel bolted design.
Benefits of Galvanized Steel
Storage tanks manufactured from galvanized steel offer many benefits over other steel corrosion protection systems.
- Economical solution
- Provides a tough and abrasion resistant coating
- Self-healing and long lasting
Unlike other protective coatings that rely solely on steel panel preparation to obtain adequate adhesion, galvanizing produces a coating that is bonded metallurgically to the steel.
Zinc used in the galvanizing process corrodes in preference to steel and sacrifices itself to protect the steel. The corrosion products from the zinc are deposited on the steel resealing it from the atmosphere and therefore preventing corrosion.
APPLICATIONS
Fire Protection
Galvanized tanks are ideally suited for fire protection water storage.
Industrial Water
Galvanized tanks provide an economical solution to any industrial water application.
Potable Water and Wastewater
In some countries, galvanized tanks are accepted for use with potable water and wastewater applications. They are an economical option for any of these applications when approved.
