1Who is Meksis and what are its fields of activity?

"Meksis was established in Ostim in 1982 in order to operate in field of heat devices, became a leader organization in its sector by expanding its fields of activity in Modular Water Storage systems so by realizing a first in Turkey in late 1990s. Its product scale on heat devices includes heating boilers, steam boilers and generators, pressurized containers, heat exchangers, energy saving devices, solid and waste burner systems, fuel tanks, steel chimneys and exhaust gas filters. Its product scale on modular water storage systems includes prismatic modular water tanks (star, dished and honeycomb), cylindrical bolted modular water tanks, domestic cylindrical monobloc and modular water tanks and package hydrophores."

2Do you construct a complete boiler room?

Yes, we construct a complete boiler room. However, parts like column installations and individual heating of users are constructed by project and natural gas firms.

3Which conditions are determinant in tank capacity?

Requirement in utility location is determinant. As an example, daily use of an apartment flat differs between 250lt and 500 lt. In case an average 10 m3 tank is chosen for an apartment with 20 flats as drinking and utility water tank, requirement for 1 day shall be covered in water cuts.

4Which consideration should we take into account while receiving proposal?

It shall be sufficient to inform our sales staff about width, length, height and capacity. Moreover, you must state usage area and qualities of liquid to be stored in selection of material alternative.

5Is there any possibility of damage during tank assembly in our existing building?

No, assembly process of tanks is fulfilled in assembly location by passing through a place from which a person can pass through without causing any damage.

6Which characteristics should location intended for tank installation have?

An area which can ensure required tank volume must exist in your location. Moreover, ground must also be flat. If ground is not flat (inclined or rough) we have concrete go-round or plastic ground alternatives.

7Our ground is ceramic or tiled, do we need to pour concrete there?

If there is no inclination in your ground, you do not need concrete ground. Tank can be placed on ground through plastic ground alternatives without any problem.

8Can we put any load on the tank after it is assembled?

No, any load should not be out on tanks. They are designed in a way just carrying their own weight.

9Can modular tanks be transported to another location after being assembled if required? And may capacity increase and decrease be applied if required?

Yes, they can be transported. Since each component of our tanks is connected with each other through a bolted construction, there is possibility of disassembly and reassembly. Moreover, capacity may also be changed during disassembly-reassembly processes.

10Should we contact with which unit about a matter? And which communication ways can we use?

You can contact us through Web, mail. Concerning the unit you will contact, there are internal phone numbers and mail addresses in our contact page. Moreover, you may fill relevant section about any unit you want to contact, then we will contact you as soon as possible.

11Does the possibility of sales with credit card exist? Which advantages do you have if exist?

We have Garanti and Finansbank pos devices. You can make your payments with 3 month or 5 month installments which change periodically. You can take information from marketing and sales department for detail information.

12How are the capacities of heating boilers determined? Is there a practical method?

Your boiler capacity is determined by authorized engineering firms through heat loss calculation. Current condition of building is 10.000 – 15.000 kcal/h per 100m2 building unless conditions are so extreme in order to determine this capacity. Always receive help from engineering firms for a definite consequence.

13How is the capacity of steam boiler determined? Is there a practical method?

Steam boiler capacity is determined according to utility requirements of devices consuming steam in concerned plant. There are practical schedules about them in technical information section of our web site.

14We want to have a chimney constructed in our organization, how can we make diameter and material selection?

Chimney diameter and material selection is made by using Tse 11382 and Tse 11383 standards. Boiler capacity, fuel type become evident as a result of calculation method held through data including building and construction height in province and neighboring

15There is no existing chimney in our boiler room, what can we do?

If there is no existing chimney in your boiler room, our firm has self-supporting chimney alternatives. Calculation is held according to appropriate chimney selection criteria and concerned chimney system is assembled.

16Should we have a plated exchanger or boiler or accumulation tank constructed?

Usage areas of these heating devices are different. Selection is made in certain capacities according to the structure of each plant and then it is designed. If you want more efficient utility water after water exits from the heating boiler in your system by storing, you can both store your water by using boiler (double walled, rapid or modular boiler) and also ensure process of heating mains water. Or if your system requires both immediate water and utility water to be stored, you can provide this process through the accumulation tank system after plated exchanger.

17What is modular water tank? How do they differ from conventional welded tanks?

Modular water tank is a kind of tank all components of which have been produced in factory conditions as modular, and designed clean and hygienic and in a way to pass through narrowest locations. The most significant difference from welded tanks is that each component is replaceable and constructed by making an entire without causing any damage like injury while carrying to the assembly location etc.. Moreover, since processes like welding, painting etc. are not held in the assembly location, it enables you to store your water in clean and hygienic conditions.

18We want to have a chimney constructed in our organization, how can we make diameter and material selection?

Chimney diameter and material selection is made by using Tse 11382 and Tse 11383 standards. Boiler capacity, fuel type become evident as a result of calculation method held through data including building and construction height in province and neighboring.

19How can cleaning and periodical maintenance of modular tanks be conducted? Is cleaning with a chemical substance appropriate?

Chemical cleaning is rarely recommended for cleaning maintenance of tanks. The most significant point you should hold is to ensure some amount of water to be discharged by opening bottom blow-off valve in every 15 days. In addition, you should ensure water in tank to be also circulated when there is no water cut. You are recommended to pump water to your facility without waiting water in tank too long. Because, microorganisms shall reproduce for some time although the tank you use dead water is healthy enough.

20Why is the quality of water to be stored important? Whether well water, artesian water will damage the tank?

Quality of liquid to be stored is the most significant criterion in the issue of material selection. The most appropriate solution shall be found for you if you inform our sales staff about qualities of water.

21How do you assemble tanks? How can you provide impermeability? And which components and elements are tanks composed of?

Our modular tanks are composed of base, ceiling and side modules. Each component has the same structure one within other. We make connecting and assembling process by putting seals between modules and then tightening with screw in required torques. Impermeability is provided through these seals.
