CST's reputation as the world leader in factory coated tanks goes beyond just field-assembled tanks. CST Storage also manufactures factory coated welded tanks. Unlike field welded and painted tanks, CST welded tanks are fabricated in a modern, indoor, controlled environment.
Once fabricated the tank is cleaned, coated and cured in our oven on a specially designed, controlled processing line. We call this the OptiBond coating process, and we are the only company in the world that uses this process to guarantee the best quality coatings for longer life and better life cycle costs.
CST's coatings feature a high cross-linked epoxy with excellent resistance to corrosion. These coatings provide superior immersion qualities and dramatically reduce life cycle maintenance costs. This makes our factory-applied coatings far superior to field-welded tanks.
In addition to factory coated steel tanks, CST fabricates tanks from stainless steel and aluminum. Tanks can be constructed with flat bottoms, with hopper bottoms and with elevated structures. Standard one-piece designs are available up to 85 x 15 that can be fabricated in a matter of weeks. Custom and multi-piece tanks can also be designed and fabricated in larger sizes.
Globally Delivered Locally Supported Tanks
So why ship a tank from our facility in Winchester, TN around the world? One answer is quality. Our global customers have long recognized the value of quality and consistency in their products and processes around the world. Couple that with CST's unique ability to integrate customer specified components in the tank and test them before the tank ever ships and you've got world class savings. Can your other local suppliers provide this service, quality and overall savings?
