Glass Fused Steel Tank

Permastore tanks are of modular bolted-panel construction, vertical cylindrical construction, factory-fabricated and site-assembled.

Basic material of construction is carbon steel, with a fused finish of glass over all surfaces, internal and external. Carbon steel and glass are fused together to achieve the best properties of both – the strength and flexibility of steel combined with the high corrosion resistance of glass.

Permastore glass-fused-to-steel tanks are the appropriate solutions for use in harsh environments and for storage of corrosive liquids, besides or apart from normal raw water, waste water, industrial effluents etc.

Permastore’s range includes anaerobic digester tanks for the bio-gas and bio-energy sectors, bio-fuels tanks, tanks for petroleum and petroleum products.

Permstore, with manufacturing facilities in the United Kingdom, has a track record of over fifty years, and three hundred thousand tanks installed worldwide, from 1959.
