All to know about the water tanks at the water treatment plant

The water tank is an important part of the parts of the water treatment plant in the reverse osmosis system. It is of great importance in maintaining the integrity of the processing process. And also maintaining the quality of the water resulting from this process. We also mentioned in previous articles the importance of each part of the reverse osmosis station. Our article today is about this important water tank. Where in some stations there are two tanks at the station. Water collection tank from the socket and a tank for storing treated water.

The most prominent types of water tanks according to their material

Concrete tanks

Concrete tanks are one of the oldest types of tanks, which have proven effective in keeping water at a good temperature, and they also help reduce water salinity naturally, including two types:

• Ready concrete tanks.
• Cynic concrete tank.

Fiberglass tanks

Including Fiberglass floor tanks above the ground and can also be used for the purpose of being a ground tank that is also buried. It is considered one of the best options in the tanks. One of its most prominent advantages:

• It is not affected by weather factors, as it is made of glass fibers, so many different atmosphere factors bear in addition to the temperature, humidity, salts, and winds as well as pollution. One of its advantages is the following:
• Lightweight so that they can be transferred and installed easily, can be buried under the ground, and can be upper tanks.
• Heat insulating can help the water temperature to be suitable in summer and winter.
• It does not cause environmental pollution as it is environmentally friendly and safe compared to other options.
• Do not require much maintenance, it is economical on this side.
• The inner surface is lined with a special white-white layer that keeps drinking water with a smooth surface for easy cleaning. The cap is attached to the tank body in a tight style with stainless materials, and a chain to protect it from loss.
• Tanks have a high stability capacity.
• Lightweight is easy to move from one place to another easily.
• There are heat-insulating types.
• It has a smooth surface on the outside and good finishing from the inside.
• It does not need to maintain paints.
• Fixed color tanks.

Steel cabinets

It is characterized by the following:

• With its strength, hardness, and prevention of leaks.
• It can also be stored in any type of water in it.
• If it is placed on high ground, it can provide pressure on the water.

Polyethylene tanks

It is characterized by the following:

• Easily install and lightweight, as it provides the necessary force to protect water from leakage, as it is stainless.
• The type of water tank also varies depending on the number of layers formed for it (one layer, two layers, three layers, or four layers).
• It is preferable to buy a water tank consisting of 3 or 4 layers, in order to preserve the water tank free of holes or erosion of solar heat for as long as possible.
• Another feature is that it does not allow the formation of green algae and can maintain water quality for longer.
• The tank does not need much maintenance because it is smooth from the inside.
• A certified tank with certificates authorized by the Ministry of World Health and the Authority of Chemistry.
• Beks are designed to be supported by the presence of side rings, which reduces water pressure on the sides of the tank.
• The tank resists sunlight for UV.
• Shock, rust because there are no breaks and only one piece.
• The tank consists of 3 layers, namely (white from the outside, inside, and black in the middle), and tanks of two layers can be manufactured, one transparent layer and withstand all high internal pressures according to scientific reports.

The importance of maintenance of the water tanks

The water tank is one of the most important things that we must take care of and work to clean and maintain periodically. This is in order to maintain our health and maintain the rest of the water treatment plant. As the tanks are exposed to many problems, including the growth of bacteria, germs, and algae, which leads to an increase in water pollution. It may lead to damage to your tank and work to leak water, which may also threaten the safety of installations. Therefore, periodic maintenance of tanks should not be neglected and work to use the best international specialists.

First: keeping the tank

Failure to clean the tank for a long time is the cause of the accumulation of dirt and rust on it, which is the cause of erosion of the tank and the continuation of neglect results in major problems.

In this case, it will take completely change the tank; For this reason, make sure to take care of the tank and clean it instead of taking a lot of money.

Second: Prevention of maintenance work

Neglecting the cleaning of the tank and also neglect in its isolation is a sufficient reasons until it is exposed to dirt and rust.

Since the length of the period of use without cleaning will make him need maintenance work continuously.

That is why the importance of cleaning water tanks lies, as it is the best way to prevent any problems that occur in the tanks.

Third: Prevention of other problems at the water treatment plant

Failure to clean the tank is the reason for the accumulation of dirt in the tubes, which makes it vulnerable to blockage.

This makes obtaining water from the tank arduous matters, and as a kind of prevention, maintenance and follow-up must be done periodically to ensure that it is preserved and detect water leaks in it.

Water tanks maintenance steps

We work to follow the best modern scientific methods in maintaining the tank and all parts of the water treatment plant. This is in order to ensure the elimination of all types of bacteria and germs and work to prolong the shelf life of the station. Among the steps that are followed in the maintenance of the tanks are the following:

• You must contact the customer service team to determine the maintenance date. And arrange the procedures, after confirming the type of tank and the type of maintenance required.
• On the specified date, our team goes to the client’s headquarters with all the tools and equipment needed. To maintain and clean the tank.
• One technician then makes sure of the safe tank and uses the best types of modern devices. That help in the detection of the places of leakage.
• After that, work to treat all cracks and holes inside the tank.

How to clean the water tanks

The water tank, like all tools and devices, needs care. And cleaning, and periodic maintenance in order to remove any remnants of deposits and dirt in the tanks. Which can cause several health problems, and may affect the taste and smell of drinking water. We may find some clear waste in the form of thin layers. Such as some organic materials, such as algae that are found on the sides of the tank.

As for the sediments, they are some types of minerals. Such as calcium, which settles at the bottom of the water tank. Some small mineral molecules enter the water tank due to the presence of some disorders during the flow of water.
