Glass lining:
Steel segments are made to glass lined panels because of the enameling according to the
guideline of the European Enamel Authority (EEA). This is done in our factory in AUSTRIA,
A-3860 Heidenreichstein. Link: http://www.european-enamel-authority.org

The certificate can be found on our website. This certificate entitles to enamel tanks for
industrial, commercial purposes, silos for animal feed and manure silos.

In most cases the steel surface must be environmental harmful

pretreated before enameling, but not with modern technic and special
types of steel. With the PUESTA method the enamel powder is applied
onto the steel sheets by electrostatic charging. The charging of the
enamel powder is done by ion atmospheric components which are
formed by a corona discharge at the tip of a spray pistol. 45-100 kV are
applied between the pistol and the earthed work piece. The enamel parts
move preferably along the electric field lines to the panel. A for the
production process sufficient adhesion of the powder is caused by
electrostatic forces. A too fast discharge is prevented by the special preparation of the
powders. The special advantage of the electrostatic enamel powder application is the ability to
achieve a particularly high resistance to mechanical stress of the enameled panel with reduced
but uniform layer thicknesses. After that the panel with the powder applied comes into the
enameling oven. The enamel powder melts with the steel at about 840°C to a strong and
permanent fusion.

Panel edges:

Rounded edges
We have the possibility to round the edges before enameling to prevent damage from
improper installation. This ensures also that the edges are better sourrounded by the enamel.

Example picture rounded edges

Edge protection
As transport and corrosion protection the panel edges are covered with sealant in the factory
(WITHOUT EXTRA COSTS). This type of edge protection is especially important for long
transport distances or long storage times.

Static design:

Static design of the tank wall according DIN 18800, Part 1 „Steel structures – Design and
construction“ and EN 28765 „Vitreous and porcelain enamels – Design of bolted steel tanks for
storage or treatment of water or municipal or industrial effluents and sludges“.

Calculation of earthquake loads according DIN 4149 „earthquake design loads“ in combination
with Eurocode 8 „Design of structures for earthquake resistance“ or on request according
AWWA D103/09 „Standard for Factory-Coated Bolted Steel Tanks for Water Storage“.

The proofable static of GLS Tanks does not only consider the filled condition incl. the pressure
conditions but also the buckling caused by wind in case the tank is empty!!!

It is not allowed to place a tank in another tank, unless it is specifically allowed in the contract.

The calculation of the proofable static is based on following load information:

 Specific weight of medium

 Minimum freeboard
 Wind load
 Snow load
 Maximum soil acceleration factor for earthquakes
 Loads of the roof in case it is not from GLS (incl. snow load)
 Average biogas pressure
 Maximum biogas pressure
 Maximum vacuum in the tank
 Mixer loads of central mixers on the roof
 other*

* other: Loads of on-site attachements may not be induced or only after consultion with GLS.
Only the loads mentioned in the quotations load data are calculated in the quotation and
therefore also in the proofable static.

Following varies depending on the provided load information:

 panel thickness
 size and execution of the bottom and top angles
 size, execution and quantity of wind stiffeners
 quantity and execution of anchor bolts
 size of the roof beams for the glass lined roof

It is important to know that not only the thickness of the panels is crucial for the strength of
the tank. You always have to pay attention to the design of the steel structures.
