Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) Tanks

Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) Tanks

We utilize a state-of-the-art Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) coating process to transform mild steel sheets into high-performance storage tanks. Using premium Resicoat Epoxy powder, the coating is thermally fused to the steel surface, creating a tough, seamless, and highly durable protective layer.

While bare steel is susceptible to corrosion in aggressive environments, the fusion-bonded epoxy coating significantly enhances its resistance to corrosion, atmospheric weathering, abrasion, and chemical exposure, thereby extending the service life of the tank. The coating also broadens the acceptable pH range, making FBE tanks suitable for storing a wide variety of liquids.

Rostfrei’s Fusion Bond Epoxy Tanks are an ideal solution for applications including potable water, wastewater, industrial process water, organic waste, oils, and numerous other liquid storage requirements, delivering reliable performance with minimal maintenance.

Design Standards for FBE Tanks

AWWA D103: This standard is published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA) and provides guidelines for the design, construction, and inspection of bolted steel tanks for water storage.

Adhering to these standards ensures that FBE tanks meet the necessary safety, quality, and performance criteria required for various water applications. Compliance with standard code also helps ensure consistency and interoperability in the design and construction of FBE/FBEC tanks across different projects and locations.

Process and Technology

Process and Technology

A brief process of creating Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) tanks involves several precise steps to ensure the quality and integrity of the finished product:

  • Nuts & Bolt Holes & Manhole Drilling / Punching
  • Shot Blasting Process
  • Epoxy-Coating on Panels
    Epoxy coating is applied on both inside and outside panel surfaces and fused in a furnace with preheat (200°C–400°C) and post-bake (150°C–250°C) temperatures.

Installation Process

The installation process of Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) tanks is designed to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable assembly while maintaining the structural integrity of the tank.

Installation Process

The installation process of Fusion Bond Epoxy (FBE) tanks is designed to ensure safe, efficient, and reliable assembly while maintaining the structural integrity of the tank.

A. Top-to-Bottom Assembly

  • Start by assembling the top ring and roof.
  • Use jacks to lift the structure.
  • Add subsequent rings from the top down by bolting them beneath the existing assembly.

B. Adding Rings & Accessories

  • Continue ring installation, progressively adding new rings at the bottom as the structure is lifted.
  • Install ladders, manholes, nozzles, and other accessories based on the tank design and layout.

C. Anchoring

  • After full assembly, anchor the tank to the foundation.
  • Use J-bolts or chemical fasteners to ensure structural stability and resistance to uplift or lateral loads.
