Permastore Slurry Tank - 348m³ to 50,000m³

PERMASTORE® Glass-Fused-to-Steel slurry tanks are the premium solution to effective and secure slurry storage. With a history of durability, performance and longevity, Permastore® Slurry Tanks help to safeguard the environment, and prevent nitrates from agricultural sources polluting ground and surface water quality using good farming practices in the storage of slurry.

These glass lined steel tanks provide the strength and flexibility of structure from the steel, while protecting the structures surface with the glass lining. When the glass is fused to steel it results in a very strong, durable and resilient product. The materials when combined result in a product that exhibits unparalleled physical property characteristics that provide excellent resistance to both corrosion and wear.
