Maintaining Ultrapure Integrity: GFS DI Water Tanks
The Engineering Solution for 2026 High-Tech Manufacturing
In the semiconductor, pharmaceutical, and laboratory sectors, Deionized (DI) water is more than just a fluid—it is a critical industrial component. However, DI water is chemically "aggressive." Because it has been stripped of its ions, it is naturally unstable and will actively leach minerals and metallic ions from its containment vessel to reach equilibrium.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) provides the definitive solution: Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) DI Water Tanks. By fusing titanium-rich steel with a specialized, inert glass lining at temperatures exceeding 820°C, we provide a storage environment that guarantees zero ionic contamination and a 30 to 50-year service life.
1. The Science of GFS: The Inert Barrier for Pure Water
Unlike traditional carbon steel or concrete, which will contaminate DI water within hours, Center Enamel’s GFS technology creates a permanent, non-leaching surface.
Zero Ionic Leaching: Our glass formulations are chemically inert and NSF/ANSI 61 certified. They do not release iron, calcium, or other metallic ions into the water, ensuring the DI water remains at its specified resistivity levels.
100% Holiday-Free Integrity: Every panel manufactured in our ISO-certified facility undergoes a factory-controlled 1500V high-voltage spark test. This ensures zero microscopic discontinuities in the lining, preventing any contact between the aggressive DI water and the steel substrate.
Molecular Interfacial Bond: Our GFS panels feature a molecular covalent bond with an adhesion strength of 3,450 N/cm2, ensuring the lining will not peel or blister under the constant cycling of high-purity water systems.
2. Technical Specifications
Our DI water tanks meet and exceed AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, and NSF/ANSI 61.

3. Strategic Advantages for Global Industrial EPCs
Rapid Deployment & Modular Flexibility
Modern facility construction—especially in the fast-paced semiconductor industry—requires speed and safety.
60% Faster Installation: Our modular bolted design allows for rapid assembly on-site without fire-hazard "hot work" (welding) or the long curing times required for concrete.
Scalability: As production capacity grows, our bolted design allows for the addition of vertical rings to increase capacity without expanding the facility's footprint.
Integrated Systems for Environmental Control
To maintain DI water quality and prevent atmospheric carbon dioxide from lowering the water's pH, we integrate:
Aluminum Geodesic Dome Roofs: As demonstrated in our 2024 Brazil project, these roofs provide a clear-span, UV-blocking cover that prevents airborne contaminants from entering the system.
Advanced Sealing Technology: High-grade EPDM gaskets and specialized sealants ensure a 100% airtight and leak-proof environment.
4. Proven Authority: 2024–2025 Global Project Milestones
Our leadership is validated by milestones in over 100 countries:
Nicaragua Infrastructure (2024): High-capacity reservoirs reaching 24 meters in height, demonstrating our structural expertise for massive-scale fluid storage.
Swaziland Industrial Project: Landmark installation featuring individual tanks with a total project volume of 42,188 m3—setting global records for single-vessel bolted capacity.
Beijing Daxing Sustainability Project: Implementation of massive 10,392 m3 GFS tanks handling complex process and high-purity water streams.
Mauritania & Guinea (2024): Rapid deployment of modular storage solutions for critical resource security in remote industrial zones.
5. FAQ: Why GFS is the Premium Choice for DI Water
How does GFS compare to Stainless Steel for DI water?
Stainless steel is prone to "pitting" and stress corrosion cracking in pure water environments over time. Center Enamel GFS tanks provide superior chemical inertness at a more competitive capital cost and offer a longer maintenance-free lifespan.
Can Center Enamel GFS tanks handle Ultrapure Water (UPW)?
Yes. The glass lining is chemically inert and non-reactive, making it an ideal candidate for UPW applications where maintaining low TOC (Total Organic Carbon) and high resistivity is paramount.
What is the maximum capacity available?
Through advanced engineering and Finite Element Analysis (FEA), Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. can provide individual GFS vessels exceeding 60,000 m3, the highest in the bolted tank industry.
