Water storage tanks

Water storage tanks from 500 litres to 15,000 m3

Gpi builds stainless steel water storage tanks in all kinds of shapes and sizes for every conceivable application and industry. They range from a water tank of 480 m3 with a high-quality finish for a professional diving centre to a demineralised water storage tank of 7300 m3 for a utility company.

Demineralised water storage tanks

Demineralised water is ultra-pure. It is produced by techniques such as membrane filtration and ion exchange, among others. This removes not only all floating particles (such as sand and algae) from the water but also other components. Demineralised water is used above all for producing high-pressure steam. It ensures good conductivity and avoids contamination in the expensive turbines.

Increasing numbers of companies are using demineralised water – demi water for short – for their production processes. Our customer Evides Industriewater supplies it from its demi water factory in Botlek. Gpi supplied 4 water tanks for Evides for this: two softened water storage tanks and two demineralised water tanks.

At our site in Lopik, we produce high-quality water tanks in diameters of up to 6 metres. From there, we can get to the majority of sites quickly by road. If the tank can no longer be transported by road, we often produce the water tank at our site in Groot-Ammers. This factory is directly on the River Lek and we can transport the tank by water from there. And if it is not possible to transport the water tank, we also construct tanks of up to 30 metres in diameter and 30 metres in height on site. This generally involves using our Coil Building System, which allows very high-quality tanks to be built extremely efficiently.

No matter what the size of tank or the construction method, safety is a top priority both during the building work and when it is being used. Tanks can be produced according to all the relevant norms, such as Eurocode 3, EN 14015, ASME and API 650. All kinds of technical variants are possible, such as heated/cooled tanks, double floors, domed roofs or double-walled tanks.

Steel tanks - the most important advantages of stainless steel tanks for water

For the production of water tanks, we only use stainless steel, which is resistant to corrosion and safely allows storage water for further production processes. Stainless steel allows for trouble-free storage of liquid substances without the need to renovate the coat and other absorbing activities on the part of the customer.

Selection of the capacity and parameters of the tank

The Gpi engineers can advise you on the technical specifications and optimization of the tank. Dedicated engineers carry out calculations in accordance with the applicable design standard and certificate and will help in selecting the dimensions of the tank to the destination.

In their work, engineers rely on experience as well as calculation and design tools such as TankDesign2.0 (internal proprietary software), Solid Edge, Auto Cad, Visual Vessel Design.

Water tanks, if not located outside, are usually located in production halls or on the lower floors of the building, which is associated with difficult access. Access to factories can also be difficult due to, for example, rail or road infrastructure. Gpi is ready for such difficulties.
