Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Food Processing Wastewater: Ensures a
hygienic, resilient vessel for various food-grade liquid wastes.
Food processing wastewater originates from diverse operations—including vegetable washing,
meat preparation, baking, and canning—and is defined by its high
variability, high organic load and presence of fats, oils, and
grease 
. Effective management requires a containment solution that is
inherently hygienic and structurally resilient to withstand aggressive cleaning chemicals, rapid organic
decomposition, and high solids content. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy 
Tank is specifically engineered to serve as a hygienic, resilient vessel for various food-grade liquid wastes while guaranteeing process integrity and environmental compliance.
The Critical Requirements for Food-Grade Containment
Containment infrastructure for food processing wastewater must adhere to strict operational and safety criteria:
Hygiene and Cleanliness: As the waste originates from food operations, the vessel must be a
hygienic solution with a non-porous internal surface that resists biofilm growth,
slime adherence, and is easy to clean, preventing
cross-contamination risks.
Chemical Resilience: Tanks must be resilient to the corrosive effects of organic acids produced during
decomposition and the frequent application of strong alkaline or
acidic cleaning-in-place 
chemicals used to sanitize processing equipment.
FOG and Solids Management: The presence of high levels of 
and suspended solids imposes structural challenges and requires a resilient lining that resists the abrasive wear and sticking often
associated with high-solids slurry.
Structural Integrity and Reliability: Food processing facilities require continuous operation. The
containment system must be a resilient vessel that offers superior structural strength to manage high-volume
flows and large treatment reactors without failure.
A sustainable system requires a hygienic, resilient vessel to securely manage various food-grade liquid wastes.
The FBE Solution: A Hygienic, Resilient Vessel for Food Waste
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
engineered to meet the unique durability and safety demands of food processing wastewater containment:
Non-Porous and Chemically Inert 
: The factory-applied 
coating is a dense, smooth, thermoset polymer that is molecularly
bonded to the steel. This creates an inherently hygienic surface that resists the adherence of food residues and is
chemically inert to both organic acids and common 
chemicals.
Superior Chemical Resistance 
: The 
barrier provides robust and resilient protection against the combined attack of low 
from fermentation byproducts and the high 
from alkaline washdown, ensuring the long-term integrity of the
steel structure.
Structural Strength for Heavy Load: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, 
tanks offer superior structural strength. This makes them a resilient vessel capable of safely managing the immense hydrostatic pressure from
large volumes of high-solids, dense food-grade liquid wastes.
Ideal for Biological Treatment: 
tanks are widely used as high-rate anaerobic digesters for
converting the high-organic liquid waste into biogas. Their gas-tight design and resistance to corrosive
biogases enhance process efficiency and safety.
Rapid, Cost-Effective Deployment: The modular, bolt-together design allows for fast, efficient
installation, minimizing downtime and quickly establishing the
necessary resilient treatment capacity for continuous food processing operations.
Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Food Processing
Infrastructure
The 
tank's specialized properties make it indispensable across all
stages of food processing wastewater management:
Equalization Basins: Used to blend and stabilize the highly variable flow and
concentration of food-grade liquid wastes, relying on the tank's resilient structure to handle hydraulic shock.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Reactors: Serving as the core vessel for biological treatment, requiring a hygienic, resilient vessel to support mixing equipment and resist organic corrosivity.
Dissolved Air Flotation 
Skimming Tanks: Providing secure containment for 
units, where the 
lining resists the sticky adherence of the skimmed 
.
Sludge and High-Solids Holding: Offering durable, resilient containment for the concentrated sludges and high-solids residues
before dewatering.
