Why Glass Lined Steel Tanks Are Ideal for Anaerobic Digester Applications

Anaerobic digestion is a biological process where microorganisms break down organic matter, such as agricultural waste, food waste, or wastewater sludge, in the absence of oxygen. The process produces biogas, a renewable energy source that can be converted into electricity or heat. As a result, anaerobic digestion is an essential technology for bioenergy production and waste management, offering significant benefits for both the environment and the economy.

At Center Enamel, our Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks are designed to maximize the efficiency of anaerobic digestion while ensuring the safe, reliable, and long-term storage of biogas and digestate. These tanks offer several advantages over traditional storage solutions, making them the preferred choice for many bioenergy projects.

Key Features of Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks:

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Glass Lined Steel is renowned for its corrosion resistance, which is critical for anaerobic digestion applications. The glass coating forms a durable barrier that protects the underlying steel from the aggressive acids, alkalis, and gases commonly present in the digestion process.

The non-porous, smooth surface of GLS tanks prevents the buildup of harmful substances, ensuring that the tanks remain free from rust and corrosion, even in the harshest anaerobic environments. This results in significantly lower maintenance and longer service life.

Durability and Strength

The combination of glass and steel creates a material that is both strong and durable, capable of withstanding the mechanical stresses and high-pressure conditions that anaerobic digesters often experience. Whether the tank is used for the storage of organic feedstock, biogas, or digestate, our GLS tanks are designed to ensure structural integrity over time.

The strength of the steel core combined with the glass lining makes these tanks resistant to cracking or other forms of damage that can occur with traditional tank materials.

Non-Reactive and Hygienic

The smooth glass interior ensures that the tank remains non-reactive with the stored materials, preventing contamination or degradation of the biogas and digestate. In anaerobic digestion processes, where precise conditions are essential for efficiency, this feature plays a vital role in maintaining the purity and integrity of the materials stored within the tanks.

The hygienic nature of the glass lining also makes it easier to clean and maintain the tanks, reducing the risk of contamination and ensuring the safe storage of biogas and digestate.

Temperature and Pressure Resistance

Anaerobic digestion is a process that often operates under specific temperature and pressure conditions. Our Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks are designed to endure these conditions, ensuring consistent performance even under high-pressure and high-temperature environments.

The flexibility of the modular tank design also allows for future expansion, making it easy to increase storage capacity if required.

Environmental and Economic Benefits

GLS tanks are highly energy-efficient due to their insulation properties, helping to maintain the optimal temperature for anaerobic digestion and minimizing heat loss. This leads to improved energy efficiency and reduced operating costs.

By investing in GLS Anaerobic Digester Tanks, companies involved in bioenergy can make a significant contribution to environmental sustainability by promoting renewable energy production and efficient waste management. These tanks also help reduce the environmental impact of landfills by encouraging the recycling of organic waste.

Modular Design for Flexibility

Center Enamel’s modular design allows for easy on-site assembly, and tanks can be customized to meet the specific needs of any bioenergy project. Whether the requirement is for smaller, more compact systems or larger-scale installations, our Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks can be adapted to fit the exact specifications of the project.

As your bioenergy project grows, our modular tanks provide the flexibility to expand the storage capacity, making it easy to scale up your operations as needed.

Compliance with Global Standards

Our Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks are manufactured in compliance with international standards, including AWWA D103, ISO 28765, ISO 9001, NSF/ANSI 61, and other relevant certifications. This ensures that our tanks meet the stringent quality and safety standards required for the storage of biogas and digestate in bioenergy projects worldwide.

Case Study: Anaerobic Digester Tanks for BioEnergy Projects

Across the globe, Center Enamel has been a key supplier of Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks for a variety of bioenergy projects. One such example is a recent project in Indonesia, where our tanks were selected for use in a palm oil wastewater treatment plant. The tanks were used for the storage of biogas produced during the anaerobic digestion of palm oil mill effluent (POME), a by-product of the palm oil industry.

Project Specifications:

Tank Type: Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks

Application: Storage of biogas and digestate from anaerobic digestion of POME

Capacity: Custom-built tanks designed to meet the plant’s capacity requirements

Location: Palm oil wastewater treatment plant in Indonesia

By using Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks, the plant was able to efficiently manage the biogas produced, ensuring the safe storage and eventual use of the gas as an energy source. The tanks were selected for their corrosion resistance, durability, and non-reactive properties, which are essential for ensuring the safe and efficient storage of the biogas produced from the digestion process.

The Benefits to BioEnergy Projects:

Corrosion Resistance: The GLS coating protects against the harsh conditions associated with anaerobic digestion, ensuring the longevity and durability of the tanks.

Improved Efficiency: The high-quality construction and insulation properties of the tanks help optimize the anaerobic digestion process, contributing to more efficient biogas production.

Sustainability: The use of Glass Lined Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks supports bioenergy production by converting waste into a renewable energy source, helping to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental sustainability.
