Water infrastructure is more than water storage. When discussing water infrastructure, we should also consider safety, durability, and sustainability.
These aspects become even more critical where hygienic water is important in day-to-day activities.
One such example is the storage of drinking water. In this client testimony, we will read about how Essenco, one of our clients, faced the challenge of storing drinking water.
And what was the unique solution provided by Beltecno?
About Essenco Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
Essenco is a leading player in integrated facility management, utility services, and sustainable infrastructure development.
With a strong focus on technology-led solutions, the company delivers critical services to large residential townships, commercial complexes, and industrial projects.
Their projects are often spread across vast geographies and are built to operate at scale, with an emphasis on quality, safety, and sustainability.
One of their key service verticals is water and wastewater management, where efficient storage and treatment of water is vital.
When Essenco approached Beltecno with a requirement for high-quality storage tanks for their Reverse Osmosis (RO) water systems, the priority was clear.
The solution had to be reliable, hygienic, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for long-term use.
Understanding Stainless Steel Panel Tanks: Why They Matter
Stainless steel panel tanks are modular water storage systems built using welded panel sections. It is typically made of high-quality stainless steel grades, such as SS304 or SS316L.
Unlike conventional concrete or plastic tanks, these tanks offer a range of benefits, particularly for sensitive applications like RO water storage.
Read about why panel tanks are gaining popularity.
RO Water Storage: Why It Matters?
Reverse Osmosis (RO) is a water purification process that removes contaminants, salts, and other impurities. The output is high-purity water used in pharmaceuticals, food processing, drinking water, etc.
However, RO water is also extremely aggressive. It can leach contaminants from inferior materials. And for this reason, the water storage tank must be chemically inert, corrosion-resistant, and completely safe.
SS316L stainless steel is one of the few materials that meet these stringent requirements.
Case Study: RO Water Storage Tanks Supplied to Essenco Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.
Beltecno recently completed a successful project with Essenco Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd., a company known for its innovative infrastructure and utility management solutions.
The project involved designing and delivering four high-quality stainless steel panel tanks specifically for RO water storage.

These tanks were designed keeping in mind the high standards required for RO water storage. The use of SS316L stainless steel ensured that the water remained pure and uncontaminated throughout its storage period.
Why SS316L was the Right Choice for This Project?
While SS304 is a common choice for water tanks, Beltecno recommended SS316L for this project. The reason behind this was to enhance corrosion resistance, especially against chlorides and aggressive water types like RO.
The "L" in SS316L stands for low carbon, which means easy to weld and more resistant to damage from heat.
In the Essenco case, the choice of material played a crucial role in meeting the project’s hygiene and durability standards.
SS316L’s high molybdenum content ensured excellent performance even in an outdoor setup exposed to environmental conditions.
By choosing stainless steel panel tanks, Essenco has secured several long-term advantages.
These tanks eliminate the risk of contamination in their RO water systems, ensuring consistently clean water output for downstream infrastructure use.
Compared to concrete or plastic tanks, they offer reduced maintenance costs and a significantly longer lifespan with reliable performance.
This installation has also set a new benchmark for future projects that demand high-purity water storage solutions.

Installation Insights: Modular Design with Maximum Efficiency
One of the highlights of the Essenco project was the outdoor installation of these tanks.
Thanks to the modular panel design, the tanks could be easily assembled on-site. Even in a limited-access area, without the need for heavy lifting machinery.
Beltecno's engineering team worked closely with Essenco's technical team to ensure:
- Minimal disruption during assembly
- Optimum placement for future maintenance access
- Safety standards compliance throughout the installation process
Conclusion
The Essenco project demonstrates how stainless steel panel tanks, when engineered correctly, provide unmatched advantages for RO water storage tanks.
Their modular design, hygienic surface, and corrosion-resistant material make them an ideal choice for modern infrastructure needs.
If your business deals with water storage challenges, be it for RO, industrial, or clean drinking water. Investing in stainless steel panel tanks is a smart, long-lasting decision!
