7.20. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS FOR PORCELAIN AND VITREOUS ENAMELLED INDUSTRIAL TANKS – 1 GROUP

7.20.1 Application area

These requirements are applicable for enamelled panels for bolted steel tanks for the storage or treatment of water or municipal or industrial effluents and sludges (not chemical
vessels). This section (7.20) refers exclusively to the tanks dedicated to the below listed applications:
- Industrial effluent process/treatment including aggressive chemical industrial effluent /high temperature applications
- Industrial tanks with aeration processes
- Roofs exposed to gaseous zone in biogas digester for agricultural waste (not the cylinders, see section 7.21)
- Cylinders and roofs of thermophilic/pasteurisation digesters
- Roofs exposed to gaseous zone in municipal mesophilic digesters (not the cylinders, see section 7.21)
- Liquid leachate
- Roofs exposed to gaseous zone in municipal sludge treatment (not the cylinders, see section 7.21)
- Borehole / brackish / sea water
