In a world increasingly defined by the need for sustainable infrastructure and resilient systems, water storage has emerged as a critical component of industrial, agricultural, and municipal planning.

Aquadam, a steel tank and water storage solutions company, has taken these needs into account and produced the Rhino Tank. This tank is durable, efficient, and built with the long term in mind.

The Rhino Tank is a bolted steel tank enhanced with a Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) coating. This coating is thermally bonded to the steel surface, creating a seamless, corrosion-resistant barrier that significantly extends the tank’s lifespan. The result is a product that exceeds industry standards for durability and performance.

Built for harsh environments

The African market demands durability, and the Rhino Tank is manufactured to withstand extreme conditions. Between the high heat of mining operations and the corrosive atmosphere of industrial zones, the Rhino Tank maintains its structural integrity and performance. Its impact-resistant design ensures that it can endure on-site handling and accidental damage without compromising its functionality.

This resilience makes the tank primed for use in sectors such as mining, agriculture, and manufacturing, where water storage systems are exposed to harsh chemicals, fluctuating temperatures, and mechanical stress.

The Rhino Tank’s FBE coating provides chemical resistance, making it suitable for storing not just potable water, but also effluent and other industrial liquids.

Efficiency in installation and operation

Unlike welded tanks that require extensive on-site labour and equipment, the Rhino Tank’s bolted panel design allows for rapid assembly with minimal disruption. This modularity not only reduces installation time but also enables easier transportation and relocation, an invaluable benefit for remote or temporary sites.

Moreover, the tank’s low lifecycle cost is a major advantage for budget-conscious projects. Its long design life, combined with minimal maintenance requirements, translates into significant savings over time. For municipalities, NGOs, and private enterprises alike, the Rhino Tank offers a compelling case for sustainable infrastructure investment.

Customisation and aesthetic integration

Recognising that functionality should not come at the expense of aesthetics, Aquadam offers the Rhino Tank in a variety of colour options, including green, desert sand, blue, red, and brown, at no additional cost. This allows the tank to blend seamlessly into its surroundings, whether in urban, rural, or industrial settings.

In addition, Aquadam provides a comprehensive range of optional accessories, such as:

• Roofing systems
• Access ladders and staircases
• Rest and working platforms
• Walkways and safety railings.

These enhancements not only improve usability and safety but also allow clients to tailor the tank to their specific operational needs.

Sustainability and environmental stewardship

In an era defined by environmental considerations, the Rhino Tank is free from volatile organic compounds and offers long service life, reducing the need for frequent replacements and minimising waste.

Furthermore, by enabling efficient water storage and management, the Rhino Tank supports broader sustainability goals such as rainwater harvesting, drought resilience, and water conservation. For communities facing water scarcity, the Rhino Tank can be a lifeline, providing reliable access to clean water in times of need.

Applications across industries

Its adaptability ensures that whether the need is for a 50 000 litre tank on a farm or a 12-million-litre tank in a mining operation, the Rhino Tank delivers consistent performance and reliability.

Aquadam’s commitment to quality assurance, technical support, and after-sales service ensures that every Rhino Tank installation is a success. From initial consultation to final commissioning, Aquadam works closely with clients to deliver tailored solutions that meet both technical and budgetary requirements.

As global water challenges intensify, the need for robust, efficient, and sustainable storage solutions has never been greater. The Rhino Tank by Aquadam rises to this challenge with unmatched durability, innovative design, and proven performance.

Whether you’re managing a large-scale industrial operation or planning a community water project, the Rhino Tank offers peace of mind and long-term value.

The R.H.I.N.O. advantage

Aquadam’s R.H.I.N.O branding is an acronym that highlights the features of the tank itself.

• Robust: Engineered with high-grade mild steel and precision-fabricated panels
• High-Integrity: Designed with rigorous quality assurance protocols
• Innovative: Incorporates advanced coating technologies and modular construction
• Nano-Overcoat: Features a nano-level epoxy coating for superior protection
• Optimised: Built for long-term performance and cost-efficiency

This holistic approach to design ensures that every Rhino Tank delivers maximum return on investment through reduced maintenance, longer service life, and lower total cost of ownership.
