Hot Dip Galvanized Panel Tanks
Hot-Dipped Galvanized Panel Tanks
For many years, tank manufacturers worldwide have utilized hot-dipped galvanized steel fabrication for commercial storage tanks. Galvanization is a corrosion prevention process involving immersing steel sheets or components in a solution to form a protective, anti-rust coating.
Tanks Liners by American Tanks has been a longstanding supplier of hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks to American industries, offering customized round and square tank solutions for various applications. Additionally, we supply a range of liner membranes and waterproofing products specifically designed for hot-dipped galvanized panel tanks.
Our expertise also includes collaborating with numerous clients across diverse industry sectors in America, ranging from Agriculture to Food Processing.
Building Strength
The process of molten zinc treatment transforms standard steel into exceptionally durable sheeting by reacting with the iron content during dipping. This reaction creates an alloy coating that offers outstanding surface protection against corrosion, resulting in a shiny, smooth, and reflective surface.
The solution coats all surfaces, ensuring complete galvanization and protection for both the interior and exterior of the new tank. The zinc-coated end product is manufactured in sheet form, from which individual panels are made.
These panels are then assembled on-site by bolting them together to construct the tank. Following this, the process involves installing the roof, connecting plumbing, and adding accessways, safety features, and other essential components.

Smart Choice for Long-Term Savings: HDG Steel
The costs linked to coating and upkeep for hot-dipped galvanized tanks are significantly lower compared to other steel tank alternatives. Unlike many epoxy-coated or painted tanks, the surfaces of these tanks do not necessitate re-treatment during their operational lifespan.
A Wise Investment: The Long-Term Value of New Tanks
Choosing the right commercial storage tanks is a critical decision. With Tanks Liners by American Tanks, you can rely on our experienced team to provide guidance and recommend our hot-dipped galvanized options when appropriate.
Galvanized tanks are reinforced with additional protective coatings, significantly extending the lifespan of your asset collection. HDG tanks also offer exceptional service value and quality without the high price tag of stainless steel. Furthermore, hot-dipped galvanization complements units intended for painting. Combining these two coating types could potentially double the original lifespan of a standard bare steel tank.
Considering long-term solutions through a comprehensive cost-benefit analysis is essential for securing the most suitable lifelong tank investment aligned with your operations and business objectives.
Built to Last: Materials that Defy the Corrosive Effects of Seawater
In coastal regions, especially those near the ocean or saltwater bays and canals, the lifespan of your tanks can be significantly influenced. Sea spray carried by the wind and direct exposure to saltwater can rapidly corrode tank surfaces, particularly those lacking galvanization. It’s essential to evaluate the distance sea spray travels from the coastline to accurately assess the level of saltwater exposure your tanks may encounter.
Climate conditions vary across America, so understanding how your tank’s material reacts to different temperatures, UV levels, and other weather elements is crucial.
Hot-dipped galvanized steel tanks typically endure for 10-12 years in seawater environments, even when external surfaces directly interact with water.
Ultimately, four primary factors will impact your tank’s longevity, all of which our HDG tanks are engineered to withstand for many years, including:
- Atmospheric salinity.
- Atmospheric sulfur dioxide.
- Temperature.
- Relative humidity.
