MULTANK is the industry leader in providing long-term protective solutions to combat the problem of corrosion and erosion of water retaining structures, utilising the very best in high performance, solvent free coating technology. Consequently, we have been instrumental in assisting many high profile clients to meet the ultimate goal of supplying consistently fresh, high quality, potable and drinking water. We don't just provide water tanks, We provide a long term solution for the structure of your tank.
What is Sectional Tank?
Sectional water tanks are an ideal solution for the storage of large volumes of water and for applications where access is restricted. They are manufactured to specific applications in panel format and assembled at site. Sectional panels manufactured from sheet moulding compound (SMC) enable much larger tanks to be constructed or overcome access restrictions.
Below are some of the many advantages:
Prevention of leakage
Convex base panels, with exclusive foam type sealant, create a self-sealing characteristic,
which enhances as water pressure increases.
Ease of handling & installation
Components for a complete tank up to 18m³ may be packed in to a single pallet for efficient transport. Individual panels may be carried to the final assembly point, with no lifting equipment required. Assembly is straightforward, requiring no special skills or equipment.
Unlimited sizes and configuration
With the appropriate combination from different panel designs, units of any capacity from 1 to 10,000m³ or over may be constructed, in a configuration to respect any existing site restrictions.
Easy maintenance
The design and material specifications of the tanks ensure that routine maintenance requirements are minimal. The exclusive design of the base panels ensures total free drainage, eliminating any possibility of residue from static water or from cleaning materials. By installing a partition, tanks may be cleaned one compartment at a time without interrupting supply. The principal problems leading to contamination of stored water are:
Light transmission:
Growth of algae will occur if light is permitted to enter the tank, this will adversely affect the water taste, and can lead to disease such as gastroenteritis.
Rough internal surface of the tank:
The cavities in the internal surface allow bacteria to nest and proliferate. Bacteria protect itself from the effect of Chlorine by creating a bio-film. Chlorinated water also loses its bactericidal properties after a few hours, if not constantly replenished. At one point in time, this bio-film breaks and the bacteria is killed by the chlorine.
Incomplete or Poor drainage:
If the tank design does not ensure complete free-flow drainage, a buildup of residual static water will result. This will harbor contaminants referred to above, as well as particles from internal corrosion or introduced externally.
