And firebenders can tweak the electric signals in someone's body-

But this made me think. Waterbenders can control water molecules and can bend anything the water will bring along. That is why they can bend blood. But waterbenders are also capable of NOT picking up objects that the water is carrying. So they can also dehydrate people, flood their lungs, flood their bladder, flood their digestive track, in turn giving someone diarrhoea, they can give someone a cough and a cold by increasing the volume of their mucus.

This means waterbenders would make great medics, btw. Any water is potable water. Everything is a water container. The most powerful water bender should be able to turn water into ice or steam, access groundwater in the deserts, and be able to make canals and streams.

The earth bender can bend a select range of minerals, but if they work really hard on it, they can bend any of them. Like toph did.

Strong earthbenders should be able to manipulate the very structure of molecules of the minerals so that they can sit on top of one another in a way that makes them pliable, malleable, strong, springy, etc to form the right shape and the right type of earth.

Like the water benders, they have the ability to add pressure and also control the movement of the rocks. Boomi and Toph already demonstrated what crazy fighters earthbenders can make. But i also think about how easily they can poison someone, oversalt them (dehydration 2.0), and calcify organs while the person is alive. They can cause bone cancer, they can break teeth, crush bones to powder, and puncture the internal organs. Manipulate bones did not even cover it.

They could manipulate armour to move to fight wars for the country. They could set flintstone fires without being there. They could weave metal into fabric. So many possibilities. I'm not even mentioning the industrial use, i believe LoK covered that?

Air benders and fire benders are different. Fire bending is easier to cover on an atomic level.

So they can bend heat, basically, right? But also, for some reason, they can channel electricity. The conclusion i am coming to is that they have command over the kinetic energy of individual electrons. That is why it is hard to master.

But this opens possibiliti3s. So i joked that they could modify the electric signals in the brain, but they literally could. But they can do so much more. Because this isn't atomic, it is subatomic. Yes, they can heat (and cool) things. Yes, they can use electricity. But if they can move electrons? So much more. They can change the properties of things. I can't even begin to list them. They can cut things, they can mend things seamlessly, and they can perform alchemy, changing the very structure of the atom. But that means it is an extremely volatile ability. Even the strongest bender would have to work these things one at a time or risk radiation.

Lastly, we have airbenders. There's two things that could be manipulating just air. One, they can move only free atoms. Which actually fits in with the heirarchy of molecular bonds of earth bender, molecules of water benders, airbenders with free atoms, and firebenders with subatomic electrons.

The other one would be the ability to create vacuums in space, and the air follows the small vacuums. Seeing how rigorously airbenders train, that seems the likely option despite the harmony from the other one. And then, the air bicycle is not possible. Which means. The airbenders just were into aesthetics and acting like a cult. Oh well, that's ok.

Aang has proven that airbenders can lift things with air. Heavy, dense things. They can probably aerosolise any atoms. Basically, they could pick atoms to put next to each other and let them form molecules. Airbending air out of lungs is probably the easiest thing. They can literally travel to space and make their own space suit. Out of air. Their scuba diving gas tank can be made out of literal air.

so like, they make these ionic membranes for dehumidifying 3d printer filament boxes... basically by turning water into hydrogen. they're really expensive tho.

we've been thinking if it's possible to make something significantly cheaper, and we think we have come up with something. it uses the same principle of electrolysis, but instead of a solid membrane, it uses a liquid. specifically, sulfuric acid is really good at pulling moisture out of the air, down to very low relative humidity, and it's also really good as an electrolyte for electrolysis of water, enabling you to do both processes simultaneously. and unlike the very expensive membranes, which fill the filament box with oxygen gas, you can pipe out both the oxygen and the hydrogen, reducing the risk of explosions and fire.

only problem it might react with the filament. someone would have to try it and find out. what do you think?

Most of the industrial sulphuric-acid based tank dryers are whole external systems that pipe air through the acid side in a separate container pretty far from the tank contents to reduce the opportunity for interaction between the tank contents and acid, so unless you do that it would probably be hard to get the concentration high enough without having loose acid vapour eat your filament.

If you're trying to avoid heat-based drying, I'm not sure this helps, I think the limiting factor on drying at room temperature is a migration rate for moisture out of the filament, not the dryness of the air being used for drying.

There's those solid-state dehumidifier elements which seem like a better idea if you are looking for a very reliable long-term dry holding system and you're willing to go through the equivalent rigamarole of a sulphuric acid dryer.

For two decades, researchers worked to solve a mystery in West Coast streams. Why, when it rained, were large numbers of spawning coho salmon dying? As part of an effort to find out, scientists placed fish in water that contained particles of new and old tires. The salmon died, and the researchers then began testing the hundreds of chemicals that had leached into the water.

A 2020 paper revealed the cause of mortality: a chemical called 6PPD that is added to tires to prevent their cracking and degradation. When 6PPD, which occurs in tire dust, is exposed to ground-level ozone, it’s transformed into multiple other chemicals, including 6PPD-quinone, or 6PPD-q. The compound is acutely toxic to four of 11 tested fish species, including coho salmon.

Mystery solved, but not the problem, for the chemical continues to be used by all major tire manufacturers and is found on roads and in waterways around the world. Though no one has studied the impact of 6PPD-q on human health, it’s also been detected in the urine of children, adults, and pregnant women in South China. The pathways and significance of that contamination are, so far, unknown.

Still, there are now calls for regulatory action. Last month, the legal nonprofit Earthjustice, on behalf of the fishing industry, filed a notice of intent to sue tire manufacturers for violating the Endangered Species Act by using 6PPD. And a coalition of Indian tribes recently called on the EPA to ban use of the chemical. “We have witnessed firsthand the devastation to the salmon species we have always relied upon to nourish our people,” the Puyallup Tribal Council said in a statement. “We have watched as the species have declined to the point of almost certain extinction if nothing is done to protect them.”

The painstaking parsing of 6PPD and 6PPD-q was just the beginning of a global campaign to understand the toxic cocktail of organic chemicals, tiny particles, and heavy metals hiding in tires and, to a lesser extent, brakes. While the acute toxicity of 6PPD-q and its source have strong scientific consensus, tire rubber contains more than 400 chemicals and compounds, many of them carcinogenic, and research is only beginning to show how widespread the problems from tire dust may be.

While the rubber rings beneath your car may seem benign — one advertising campaign used to feature babies cradled in tires — they are, experts say, a significant source of air, soil, and water pollution that may affect humans as well as fish, wildlife, and other organisms. That’s a problem because some 2 billion tires globally are sold each year — enough to reach the moon if stacked on their sides — with the market expected to reach 3.4 billion a year by 2030.

(Researchers weigh a salmon that died after four hours in a tank filled with road runoff.)

Tires are made from about 20 percent natural rubber and 24 percent synthetic rubber, which requires five gallons of petroleum per tire. Hundreds of other ingredients, including steel, fillers, and heavy metals — including copper, cadmium, lead, and zinc — make up the rest, many of them added to enhance performance, improve durability, and reduce the possibility of fires.

Both natural and synthetic rubber break down in the environment, but synthetic fragments last a lot longer. Seventy-eight percent of ocean microplastics are synthetic tire rubber, according to a report by the Pew Charitable Trust. These fragments are ingested by marine animals — particles have been found in gills and stomachs — and can cause a range of effects, from neurotoxicity to growth retardation and behavioral abnormalities.

“We found extremely high levels of microplastics in our stormwater,” said Rebecca Sutton, an environmental scientist with the San Francisco Estuary Institute who studied runoff. “Our estimated annual discharge of microplastics into San Francisco Bay from stormwater was 7 trillion particles, and half of that was suspected tire particles.”

Tire wear particles, or TWP as they are sometimes known, are emitted continually as vehicles travel. They range in size from visible pieces of rubber or plastic to microparticles, and they comprise one of the products’ most significant environmental impacts, according to the British firm Emissions Analytics, which has spent three years studying tire emissions. The company found that a car’s four tires collectively emit 1 trillion ultrafine particles — of less than 100 nanometers — per kilometer driven. These particles, a growing number of experts say, pose a unique health risk: They are so small they can pass through lung tissue into the bloodstream and cross the blood-brain barrier or be breathed in and travel directly to the brain, causing a range of problems.

According to a recent report issued by researchers at Imperial College London, “There is emerging evidence that tyre wear particles and other particulate matter may contribute to a range of negative health impacts including heart, lung, developmental, reproductive, and cancer outcomes.”

The report says that tires generate 6 million tons of particles a year, globally, of which 200,000 tons end up in oceans. According to Emissions Analytics, cars in the U.S. emit, on average, 5 pounds of tire particles a year, while cars in Europe, where fewer miles are driven, shed 2.5 pounds per year. Moreover, tire emissions from electric vehicles are 20 percent higher than those from fossil-fuel vehicles. EVs weigh more and have greater torque, which wears out tires faster.

Unlike tailpipe exhaust, which has long been studied and regulated, emissions from tires and brakes — which emit significant amounts of metallic particles in addition to organic chemicals — are far harder to measure and control and have therefore escaped regulation. It’s only in the last several years, with the development of new technologies capable of measuring tire emissions and the alarming discovery of 6PPD-q, that the subject is receiving much needed scrutiny.

Recent studies show that the mass of PM 2.5 and PM 10 emissions — which are, along with ozone and ultrafine particles, the world’s primary air pollutants — from tires and brakes far exceeds the mass of emissions from tailpipes, at least in places that have significantly reduced those emissions.

The problem isn’t just rubber in its synthetic and natural form. Government and academic researchers are investigating the transformations produced by tires’ many other ingredients, which could — like 6PPD — form substances more toxic than their parent chemicals as they break down with exposure to sunlight and rain.

“You’ve got a chemical cocktail in these tires that no one really understands and is kept highly confidential by the tire manufacturers,” said Nick Molden, the CEO of Emissions Analytics. “We struggle to think of another consumer product that is so prevalent in the world, and used by virtually everyone, where there is so little known of what is in them.”

“We have known that tires contribute significantly to environmental pollution, but only recently have we begun to uncover the extent of that,” said Cassandra Johannessen, a researcher at Montreal’s Concordia University who is quantifying levels of tire chemicals in urban watersheds and studying how they transform in the environment. The discovery of 6PPD-q has surprised a lot of researchers, she said, because they have learned that “it’s one of the most toxic substances known, and it seems to be everywhere in the world.”

Regulators are playing catch up. In Europe, a standard to be implemented in 2025, known as Euro 7, will regulate not only tailpipe emissions but also emissions from tires and brakes. The California Environmental Protection Agency has passed a rule requiring tire makers to declare an alternative to 6PPD-q by 2024.

(A worker takes apart a tire at a recycling shop in Mit al-Harun, Egypt.)

Tire companies are conducting their own studies of 6PPD, which they have long considered critical for tire safety, and seeking alternatives. In response to new regulations and the emerging research on tire emissions, 10 of the world’s large tire manufacturers have formed the Tire Industry Project to “develop a holistic approach to better understand and promote action on the mitigation” of tire pollution, according to a statement by the project. The group has committed to search for ways to redesign tires to reduce or eliminate emissions.

One critical area of research is how long tire waste, and its breakdown products, persist in the environment. “A five-micron piece of rubber shears off the tire and settles on the soil and sits there a while,” said Molden. “What, over time, is the release of those chemicals, how quickly do they make their way into the water, and are they diluted? At the system level, how big of a problem is this? It is the single biggest knowledge gap.”

Another area of research centers on the impacts of aromatic hydrocarbons — including benzene and naphthalene — off-gassed by synthetic rubber or emitted when discarded tires are burned in incinerators for energy recovery. Even at low concentrations, these compounds are toxic to humans. They also react with sunlight to form ozone, or ground-level smog, which causes respiratory harm. “We have shown that the amount of off-gassing volatile organic compounds is 100 times greater than that coming out of a modern tailpipe,” said Molden. “This is from the tire just sitting there.”

When tires reach their end of life, they’re either sent to landfills, incinerated, burned in an energy-intensive process called pyrolysis, or shredded and repurposed for use in artificial turf or in playgrounds or for other surfaces. But as concern about tire pollutants grows, so do concerns about these recycled products and the hydrocarbons they may off-gas. There is ongoing debate over whether crumb rubber, made from tire scraps, poses a health threat when used to fill gaps in artificial turf. Based on several peer-reviewed studies, the European Union is instituting stricter limits on the use of this material. Other studies, however, have shown no health impact.

Besides California’s requirement to study alternatives to 6PPD, there are a number of efforts worldwide to redesign tires to counter the problems they pose. More than a decade ago, tire makers hoped that dandelions, which produce a form of rubber, and soy oil could provide a steady and sustainable supply of rubber. But tires made from those alternatives didn’t live up to expectations: they still required additives. The Continental Tire Company, based in Hanover, Germany, markets a bicycle tire made of dandelion roots. Tested by Emission Analytics, it emitted 25 percent fewer carcinogenic aromatics than conventionally made bike tires, but the plant-powered tire still contained ingredients of concern.

(Rubber made from dandelions.)

Other companies are searching for ways to address the problem of tire emissions. The Tyre Collective, a clean-tech startup based in the U.K., has developed an electrostatic plate that affixes to each of a car’s tires: The plates remove up to 60 percent of particles emitted by both tires and brakes, storing them in a cartridge attached to the device. The particles can be reused in numerous other applications, including in new tires.

In San Francisco, scientists studying the pollutants in storm runoff found a potential solution: Rain gardens, installed in yards to capture stormwater, were also trapping 96 percent of street litter and 100 percent of black rubbery fragments. In Vancouver, B.C. researchers found that rain gardens could prevent more than 90 percent of 6PPD-q from running off roads and entering salmon-bearing streams.

Tire waste particles, says Molden, of Emissions Analytics, are finally getting the attention they deserve, thanks in part to California’s rule requiring a search for alternatives to 6PPD. The legislation “is groundbreaking,” he says, “because it puts the chemical composition [of tires] on the regulatory agenda.” For the first time, he adds, “Tire manufacturers are being exposed to the same regulatory scrutiny that car manufacturers have been for 50 years.”

Genuine questions about the Apocalyptic Genre

So, what is the shelf life of a bullet? Assuming that it was left in a box in a relatively dry, temperate room?

What would happen if it got humid / wet?

What about guns? Let's assume they're in a safe, how long can they go unoiled and ignored before they're useless?

A lot of the things Survivors in apocalypse and zombie movies find to save them just, don't seem practical to find and be able to use without any ongoing maintainence or care

And some things break down naturally (eg petrol has about 6mths of use if stored perfectly).

Fabric frays and can wear thin over time, but heat, rain, huidity and substances can increase the decay

Food is impermanent

Seeds do not last forever, unless stored Very Specifically, and your average shopping centre isn't going to.

Plastic gets brittle over time, and breaks.

A lot of stuff we use is straight up designed to fail after a certain period of time.

Medications? Forget it, you're already dead. Mobility aids? Anything that needs electricity?

Generators that aren't solar powered are likely going to be impacted after a period of time, esp fuel based.

Cars? There's a lot of little parts that can go tits up. Sure, maybe you luck out and you bunk down next to a nearby car superstore, still not going to have Everything for Every Model and Year. Headlights, wipers, etc. may sound small... but when you need them, you need them.

Tyres? Rubber wears down rapidly.

Clothes - do you know how to manufacture fabric? Sure you might run into a lincraft or spotlight in the early days and have fabric to spare in your panic hut but, at some point, someone's going buck wild. Fabric wears out.

Camping stuff? Assuming you have a tent and basic stuff? Not many are made to last forever (except some super expensive models, etc)

--------------

So, what could you reasonably expect to find say...

a) Day 1 of the apocalypse, zombie or otherwise? Probably most things.

b) Month 1 of the apocalypse? A lot of food and medications would have spoiled, industry went down even if only in certain fields, cars would be blocking the way, maybe some places have electricity and water. Depends on the area.

c) Two months? 6 months? A lot of things people assume they will find or have access to in an apocalyptic setting are gone, or not in useable condition.

d) 12 months to 2 years, even a lot of the canned stuff isn't safe. The main thing you need is common sense and a knowledge of dangerous food signs (botulism) like buldging cans.

------------

What could we possibly think to have access to, scavenger wise?

Let's assume that that apocalypse was a devastation that did not involve aliens or zombies or being hunted. The rules would be different. Not a lot of humanity left.

+First things would be checking house to house in a radius out from your own to find people and animals that have been left. Free who you can. Livestock might need to have gates opened so they can move to somewhere with more grass or food... if you are not used to livestock, use your brain but also try to find someone who might have more of a clue how to move them safely.

+Take inventory of what you have on you and have access to, food, water, clothes, etc.

+One good zombie apocalypse podcast mentioned that day one they had everyone fill up all containers and bathtubs and buckets with water in case the power went out. Sounds good. If you have tanks, make sure you have a ladder somewhere, to do the old 'how much' test.

+Some way to make fire. The flick lighter you have now will work, until it runs dry... start thinking of other options from day 1, because that day will come. The wood sticks and friction works, but is slow, flint/steel not everyone has options, two stones can take ages to spark, etc.

+Probably cutlery and some cooking items. Worth collecting, esp if its more than just you and you lost your own home / were a brand new uni person with nothing in the apartment.

+If you have a cooler, but no access to ice, it might not be ideal. In the first days, though, you might have a chance to use it with ice for meat and other items. Ice boxes are brilliant and last DAYS if used right, without a change to ice. But not a forever option.

The question is if you then need to move somewhere cooler.

+If you raided a school you could get one of those big plastic drink containers to store water in. Or most bunnings type places have the 20L water containers, some with spouts. Bonus of getting a trolley thing to pull it about in. Its about a lot of water that can be ported as needed. They are uncomfy to lug hand-wise over distance, because of the way it dangles of your arm, but if you got creative with ties, you could backpack it.

+Bags. Different shapes and types, especially backpacks.

+Water bottles, or containers like thermos that would hold stuff for long treks, etc. Most camping stores could have the little pouches and the long straw but like... you get a bit of mildew in there and the whole thing is a pain to clean etc.

+Assuming you can settle somewhere, and are not 100% mobile the whole time, you'd be focused on being somewhere with access to wood for fire (food, heat, light) depending on the type of apocalypse.

+Cheap stores could be plundered in the early times for shitty items that might work a few times, and basic hygiene items. You don't need brand name if you're desperate to be clean. Soap, toothbrushes, toothpaste, a towel or two, etc. They won't last foreever, but when a towel starts to die out, it becomes other things like rags,, something to patch up a hole in the wall, fire starter material (most are polycotton)

Stuff that you need in the moment but can replace as life goes on.

+A basic toolkit, might last a while (live in a Bunnings, you might have a chance to rebuild society lmao, garden section, tools, even dog and cat foods there too if you manage to get out with your furry fam)

+In any school or ofice there should be at least one orange over full first aid kit. Grab it. The things in it will need a bit of updating over time, and discarded after a time.

+Pharmacy - you're gonna need meds and a local medicine wizard who can find solutions for the meds that run out and aren't replaced, if any.

+Paper and pens, something to help you leave notes for others to let them know where you are, or where to get help. Even just keep diary and inventory. You could try carving on rock but who has the time?

+Seeds and fertiliser. This'd need to happen earlier o, and if water is scarce you might need to get creative - is there a dam nearby or a creek they could plant near? Can you get soe of those Easy Planters that have a little wate tray under that kind of manages itself.

At least one shovel. If the rich try to raise prices on things... remember, a lot of fertiliser can be improved through the addition of blood and bone.

+I'd raid the library for things like a Big Book of First Aid, any book that told of native foods and poisonous plants, any How To Guides, and also some novels of different kinds to make sure no one was going to lose their minds. Maybe steal a whiteboard and some markers, so you can teach others these things, because hopefully there'd be a community starting up to replace what was lost.

Hopefully, the librarians wouldnt kill you.

+Cloth, pillows, bedding (possibly from stores or from abandoned homes of the gone), even scraps from the op shops and general clothes. Thread - try to find the cotton stuff, the plastic 2 dollar stuff from cheap stores tends to snap easy, esp with too much tension. fine for little stuff tho.

Coathangers too, you want this stuff up off the ground and not in a Pile. that's snake heaven and also a quick way for it to molder. Where possible, for a community, you'd want to find a way to get and store clothes of all ages and sizes because there'll be kids, and they grow so goddamn fast. Shoes... are negotiable.

+Lots of those Put 'em together Yourself furniture items will die if too old, wet or simply the stars are aligned wrong. Plan further out whn possible.

+Fuel - we know it doesn't last forever. Also a lot of chemicals will likely either be inert or super dangerous after a period of time, be careful handling bottles you find, etc.

+Food - finding in the initial, no wokkas. OVer time? Flour doesn't last forever. You can get eggs if you have food for chickens and the shelter for them. Maybe if you have a butcher you would be able to manage the acquisition of meat... or make do.

I have thought about Farming in the Apocalypse. The problem with the idea of a protagonist just Finding a farm and mangically getting food is that, that's not how it works.

Any farming family can tell you that there's so many different parts to a farm, turning crops, caring for cows and cattle, even just milking must be done regularly or the cows can have severe problems or die. Sheep need regular care and shearing, and also you have to manage them so they don't get flyblown, etc.

You can't turn the tractors on after a certain time, the harvesters, etc. You'd need to think about possible acres of fields needing to be managed by hand. Some crops get burned to stubble, how can that be safely managed? What do you, random possible city protagonist, know about rotating crops?

Do yuo understand what to do for animal husbandry? Hopefully someone from one of the families around would be there, and able to guide and manage it overall, train the survivors, but that never works out in movies.

You might have eggs, milk, meat, and some forms of food in this situation (depending on the farm, some are specifically one or two things), not much fruit

You would need to find a fruit solution, even if you have to raid a shopping centre for rotting fruit to see if you can salvage the seeds. IT would take time to cultivate, even if it did.

Could reach out to any horticulturists who survived, I guess.

+If you can learn to cure the skins, you'd have leather. It needs some human intervention, and piss, so someone would find joy in that...

You can use leather for clothes, shoes, bags, waterskeins (find yourself a medieval reenactor, most can do it themselves), tents, even (if done right) a makeshift pot on the fire. Absolutely fascinating what can be done with it, and it lasts.

----------

There's so much I think about when it comes to the apocalypse.

Maybe it wouldn't be the most exciting to read/listen to someone eeking out each day in the world left behind, but imagine the story.

Even several stories of people all over hte globe finding new ways to keep going. Some countries would barely be affected, given they alreay live between modern and traditional, and that duality is passed down to the following generations.

But in the industrialised world, where everything is from somewhere so removed from us that the public couldn't work out how to cook a roast on a fire without etting it aflame... like, ometimes I wonder.

The possibilities are endless.

The loss of what is known and the distress of realising that the loss isnt finished. It's going to keep going... again and again, as food runs out, clothes wear away, cars stop working, fuel goes inert, what was known corrodes and either you adapt, or let it drive you inwards.

It could be more fun if the only worry in the apocalyptic wastelands isn't 'need guns, and gun food (bullets)' - also sex.

Sure, that's a human desire but like, we can swing by the adult toy store and see if there's someone inflatable for you to chill with until we get basic needs going, because a baby would be the Worst Thing right now. Actually, what is the expiry date on most contraceptives?

I mean, you'd need weapons. Esp in a farming situation... sometimes births go wrong or an animal breaks their leg, or they're poisoned and suffering. Like, you have to manage that. Especially in a time without vets at the snap of a finger.

There's some practicalities, apart from just This Is Our Town Stranger as part of the dramatic climax, where they then have an Intense Head Nod during an ensuing fight, and now Stranger is One of Us.

I have no idea where this was going lmao, I have been thinking about how silly some of the Survival nonsense is in movies and books and podcasts.

And everything again changes if you are contending with being hunted by aliens, the infected/zombies, animals, etc...

But you can't eat bullets... except in one way. You can't quench thirst with a well oiled gun. Also, guns are loud, I know that gets brought up a lot but what is the fastest way to alert someone to your location? Firework boom boom. Get a damn axe. And a GRINDSTONE. Blunt ones won't split skulls or carapaces or whatevs.

Water Storage Tanks and Their Types

Water storage tanks are large containers used to store water for a variety of purposes, such as irrigation, drinking, fire protection, and industrial processes. They can be made of various materials, including plastic, steel, and concrete, and can be overhead or underground. The size and capacity of the tank will depend on the intended use and the amount of water that needs to be stored.

Water storage tanks are essential for a variety of uses, from irrigation to fire protection to household use. These tanks come in a variety of types, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages.

TYPES OF WATER STORAGE TANKS

Overhead Tank

One of the most common types of water storage tanks is the overhead tank. These tanks are typically made of plastic or steel and are placed on a concrete foundation. They are easy to install and can be used for a variety of purposes, including irrigation, fire protection, and household use. One of the main benefits of overhead tanks is that they are relatively inexpensive and can be easily replaced if they become damaged. However, they are also vulnerable to leaks and can be easily damaged by natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes.

Underground Tank

Another popular type of water storage tank is the underground tank. These tanks are buried below ground level and are typically made of plastic or steel. They are more expensive than overhead tanks but offer a number of benefits, including greater stability and protection from natural disasters. Underground tanks are also less visible and can be used in areas where overhead tanks are not allowed. However, they are more difficult to install and can be expensive to repair if they become damaged.

Bladder Tank

A third type of water storage tank is the bladder tank. These tanks are typically made of a flexible material such as plastic or rubber and are filled with air. They are often used in areas where space is limited and can be easily deflated and stored when not in use. Bladder tanks are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install. However, they are not as durable as other types of tanks and can be easily punctured or damaged.

Loft Tank

A fourth type of water storage tank is the loft tank. These tanks are placed in the attic or other high spaces in a building and are typically made of plastic or metal. They are a good solution for homes or buildings with limited space. Loft tanks are also relatively inexpensive and easy to install. However, they are not as durable as other types of tanks and can be easily damaged by leaks or high temperatures.

Cistern Tank

Finally, a fifth type of water storage tank is the cistern tank. These tanks are typically made of concrete or other durable materials and are buried underground. Cistern tanks are often used for rainwater harvesting and can be used to store large amounts of water. They are also very durable and can withstand natural disasters such as floods or earthquakes. However, cistern tanks are also expensive and difficult to install.

Conclusion

water storage tanks are essential for a variety of uses and come in a variety of types. Each type has its own set of advantages and disadvantages and the best choice will depend on the specific needs of the user. overhead tanks are easy to install and inexpensive, while underground tanks offer greater stability and protection. Bladder tanks are a good solution for limited space, while loft tanks are a good solution for homes or buildings with limited space. Cistern tanks are often used for rainwater harvesting and can store large amounts of water. It is important to consider the specific needs and budget before choosing a water storage tank.

The abrasive action of suspended solids and grit in sewage can wear down conventional tank surfaces, leading to erosion, leaks, and potential failure.

Our Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are not only highly resistant to corrosion but also to abrasion. The glass enamel coating provides a hard, durable surface that can withstand the mechanical stress caused by abrasive materials. This makes GFS tanks an ideal choice for sludge storage, where the tank walls need to endure constant wear from solid waste particles. The superior abrasion resistance ensures the tank's structural integrity over time, reducing the need for costly repairs and downtime.

3. Low Maintenance and Long Lifespan

The inherent durability of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks means that they require very little maintenance. The glass enamel coating is designed to last for decades, even in harsh environments. Unlike concrete tanks, which may crack or deteriorate over time, or steel tanks, which are susceptible to rust and corrosion, GFS tanks maintain their performance for the long term with minimal maintenance.

In addition, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks do not require the frequent resurfacing or recoating that is common with other materials. Once the glass enamel coating is applied, it forms a permanent bond with the steel, creating a seamless, corrosion-resistant surface that is easy to clean and maintain.

4. Hygienic and Safe for Sewage Storage

The non-porous surface of Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks helps prevent the growth of bacteria, algae, and other harmful microorganisms, which can be problematic in sewage treatment systems. This makes them a more hygienic option compared to other materials, reducing the risk of contamination.

Additionally, the smooth surface makes it easier to clean the interior of the tank, ensuring that sewage or wastewater remains safely stored without risk of contamination or microbial growth. This helps maintain the integrity and quality of the stored sewage, which is crucial for compliance with environmental and public health standards.

5. Designed for Harsh Conditions

Sewage treatment tanks are often located in areas with extreme weather or operational conditions. Whether subjected to high temperatures, freezing conditions, or intense UV exposure, the durability of the tank material is critical.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are designed to perform in a wide range of environmental conditions, making them perfect for both industrial and municipal sewage treatment facilities. The high temperature and chemical resistance of the glass enamel coating ensures that the tanks will not degrade over time, even in the harshest of environments. Furthermore, our GFS tanks can be custom designed to fit any location, ensuring a perfect fit for your specific sewage storage needs.

Materials used in constructing these tanks must be strong enough to resist corrosion, chemical exposure, and structural degradation. This is where material selection becomes key.

Commonly used materials include steel, concrete, and glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), each offering distinct advantages.

Steel tanks are renowned for their strength and longevity, making them ideal for long-term installations where structural integrity is a priority. However, they may require coatings or treatments to prevent corrosion in certain environments.

Concrete tanks provide excellent thermal insulation, which is beneficial in high-temperature environments. They are robust, low-maintenance, and can be built to large sizes, but their weight and potential for cracking in seismic regions may pose challenges.

GRP tanks combine durability and corrosion resistance, making them well-suited for harsh environments. They are lightweight, easy to install, and highly resistant to chemical exposure and extreme weather conditions. GRP’s ability to endure without rusting or corroding, even when exposed to moisture or chemicals, makes it an increasingly popular choice for firefighting water storage.

In addition to selecting the right material, the design must ensure that the reservoir is easily accessible for maintenance, cleaning, and inspections. Access points, valves, and monitoring systems must be strategically placed to allow for efficient operation and upkeep, ensuring the reservoir remains in optimal condition throughout its lifespan.

By considering these factors—size, material durability, and ease of access—the design of fire storage reservoirs can effectively support firefighting efforts, ensuring reliable water supply during critical moments.

Importance in Emergencies

In emergency situations, a well-maintained fire storage tank is not just beneficial—it’s critical. Especially in large industrial settings or densely populated urban areas, where the risk of fires can be greater and more complex, having a reliable and adequately sized fire storage tank can make the difference between a contained situation and widespread devastation.

When a fire breaks out, every second counts. A fire storage tank must be ready to deliver a consistent supply of water at the right pressure to combat the flames. If the tank is well-maintained, properly filled, and in good working order, it ensures that water is readily available, enabling firefighters to act quickly and efficiently. In contrast, a poorly maintained or insufficient tank could result in delays, low water pressure, or even a complete lack of water, which can allow fires to spread uncontrollably.

In high-risk environments, such as industrial plants or densely populated urban areas, the ability to quickly access a large volume of water can prevent what might otherwise be a catastrophic fire. The reliability of the fire storage tank is, therefore, not just a matter of operational efficiency but a vital safety measure that can save lives and property during critical emergencies.

Pumping Systems: The Hydraulic Powerhouse

The pumping system serves as the hydraulic powerhouse of a firefighting system, responsible for moving water from the storage reservoir to crucial areas like fire hydrants and sprinklers. Its role is pivotal in ensuring that water is delivered quickly and effectively to where it is needed most during a fire emergency.

The efficiency of the pumping system directly impacts the speed and success of firefighting efforts. When a fire breaks out, the system must rapidly transfer water from the reservoir to the designated endpoints with the right pressure and flow rate. A well-designed and maintained pump ensures that water is available instantly, enabling a swift response that can help contain the fire before it spreads.

Any delay or malfunction in the pumping system can compromise the entire firefighting operation, underscoring its critical importance. In high-risk scenarios, the system’s performance can determine the difference between quickly extinguishing a fire and allowing it to cause severe damage. Therefore, regular maintenance and testing of the pumping system are essential to ensure that it operates efficiently and reliably in the event of an emergency.

Pump Types and Performance

Firefighting systems rely on different types of pumps to meet specific requirements for water capacity and pressure. The most commonly used are centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps, each offering distinct advantages based on the demands of the system.

Centrifugal pumps are widely favored for their ability to handle large volumes of water efficiently. They use rotational energy to move water, making them ideal for high-flow applications where a steady supply of water is needed over a sustained period.

Positive displacement pumps, on the other hand, are designed to maintain consistent pressure, even at lower flow rates. These pumps are particularly useful in situations where precise control of water delivery is critical, as they deliver a fixed amount of water per cycle, ensuring stable pressure regardless of the system’s demands.

The performance of the pump system is essential to ensuring that water is delivered at the right pressure and flow rate to effectively suppress fires. Proper system design involves selecting the appropriate pump type, considering factors such as the size of the facility, the layout of the piping network, and the specific fire risks involved.

To maintain peak performance, regular maintenance and testing of the pumps are crucial. This includes checking for wear, ensuring all components are functioning correctly, and testing the system under various conditions to ensure it can meet the demands of a real emergency. A well-maintained pump system ensures that water is delivered promptly and with the necessary force, significantly improving the effectiveness of firefighting efforts.

Water Distribution Network

The water distribution network forms the backbone of a firefighting system, channeling water from the reservoir to key points such as fire hydrants and sprinkler systems. The design of this network is crucial, as it must ensure that water is delivered efficiently and effectively to all critical areas during a fire emergency.

Proper design and material selection play a vital role in minimizing pressure loss and ensuring consistent water flow. The layout of the piping system must account for factors such as building size, fire risk zones, and the positioning of hydrants and sprinklers to guarantee full coverage. Materials chosen for the pipes must be durable enough to withstand high pressure, corrosion, and environmental stresses to maintain system integrity over time.

In addition to these design considerations, the network must be capable of delivering water with minimal friction losses, ensuring that pressure is maintained throughout the system. This is particularly important in large buildings or facilities where water must travel long distances. A well-designed distribution network is essential for ensuring that firefighters have the water they need, precisely where and when it’s needed, to contain and extinguish fires effectively.

Strategic Placement and Compliance

The strategic placement of fire hydrants and sprinklers is critical to ensuring that water is distributed effectively during a fire emergency. Proper positioning ensures that all areas of a building or site have adequate coverage, allowing firefighters to access water quickly and enabling sprinklers to suppress fires before they spread.

To achieve optimal coverage, hydrants must be placed at accessible locations that allow for rapid connection to firefighting equipment, while sprinklers should be arranged to maximize their reach and effectiveness in controlling flames. The layout of these systems is tailored to the specific fire risk of the building or facility, ensuring that water is available where it’s needed most.

Firefighting systems must also comply with local fire safety regulations, which govern water allocation and system design based on the area's fire risk classification. These regulations often categorize areas into different hazard levels—such as low, ordinary, or high hazard—dictating the minimum water storage, pressure, and distribution requirements to ensure sufficient fire protection. Compliance with these guidelines is not only essential for the safety and effectiveness of the system but is also a legal requirement to meet fire safety standards.
