Hygienic lining · safe for drinking water

Design and fabrication of
drinking water tanks hygienic and durable!

Safe drinking-water storage with a hygienic lining

Besides mechanical strength, a drinking water tank must meet the hygiene requirements for contact with potable water: an approved internal lining, protection against light and algae growth, and weld and connection details with no dead spots where contamination can collect.

Technical details

Depending on capacity and site conditions, the tank can be ground or elevated, steel with a hygienic lining, galvanized or stainless. The final choice depends on the incoming water quality, the budget and access for maintenance.

Behineh Ab designs and builds drinking water tanks to suit each project's capacity, structure type and hygiene requirements.

What is a hygienic lining and why is it needed?

The internal lining must be approved for contact with drinking water so that no harmful substances leach into the water, and the inner surface stays resistant to corrosion and microbial growth.

Ground or elevated?

A ground tank is usually more economical; an elevated tank gives the network more static pressure and, on some sites, reduces the need for pumping.
