At Artein Group, we work with advanced materials to provide durable and efficient storage solutions. One of our core offerings is tanks made of Glass Fused to Steel (GFS), a material recognised for its exceptional performance and longevity.
Glass fused to steel tanks
Maximum corrosion resistance
Glass Fused to Steel combines the strength and flexibility of steel with the corrosion resistance of glass. This unique material is created by fusing layers of glass to steel at high temperatures, resulting in a surface that is highly resistant to corrosion, abrasion and harsh environmental conditions. The fusing process occurs at temperatures ranging from 1500 - 1650ºF (800-900ºC), forming a robust and durable bond.

Key features and benefits
Exceptional durability
GFS tanks offer a long service life, often exceeding 30 years, due to the protective layer of glass that prevents corrosion and deterioration.
Superior corrosion resistance
The glass coating provides an impermeable barrier that is highly resistant to acids, alkalis and other corrosive substances, ensuring the integrity of the tank over time.
Low maintenance
With minimal maintenance requirements, GFS tanks are cost effective throughout their service life. The smooth glass surface is easy to clean and maintain, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Versatility
GFS tanks are suitable for a wide range of applications, including potable water storage, wastewater treatment, industrial liquids and bulk solids storage.
Aesthetic appeal
Available in a variety of colours, GFS tanks not only perform well, but also offer a visually appealing storage solution.
Their applications
Water treatment plants
Perfect for storing treated and untreated water due to their excellent corrosion resistance and hygienic properties.
Wastewater treatment plants
Effective for containing various types of wastewater, including industrial effluents and sewage, due to their robust and impermeable nature.
Biogas plants
GFS tanks are perfect for biogas applications, providing a safe and durable solution for storage and related by-products.
Agriculture
Suitable for storing agricultural liquids and dry bulk materials, providing a durable and reliable solution.
Food production plants
Ensure safe and hygienic storage of liquids and food ingredients, thanks to the smooth surface of the glass.
Manufacturing and quality control
Our GFS tanks are manufactured with precision and stringent quality control measures. The high-strength steel substrate used is processed to ensure it meets our exacting standards. The glass coating is applied in a controlled environment, ensuring uniform thickness and optimum adhesion.
Installation and maintenance
The modular design of GFS tanks allows for quick and efficient installation, minimising on-site disruption and reducing labour costs. After installation, the tanks require minimal maintenance, with regular inspections to ensure continued performance and longevity.
