In fire protection systems, bolted tanks are used to ensure the water supply necessary to feed hydrant networks, sprinklers, monitors, and fixed systems. From an engineering perspective, the design must address three fundamental aspects: autonomy, flow rate, and reliability.

The tank's capacity must comply with applicable regulations, both in terms of available volume and delivery time. Standards such as NFPA 22 and Factory Mutual (FM) requirements establish specific criteria regarding materials, ventilation, overflow, drainage, connections, and auxiliary elements such as ladders or platforms.

Galvanized, epoxy, or vitreous enamel finishes are the most common in fire protection systems, depending on the environment and budget. Galvanizing is suitable for moderate climates and standard industrial applications; epoxy provides greater protection for aggressive environments; while vitreous enamel offers superior durability when a long lifespan is required.

Bolted assembly allows for faster installation times, which is especially valued in industrial projects where meeting deadlines impacts operations. Finally, simple maintenance—with scheduled visual inspections and leak tests—ensures reliable and long-lasting performance.
