Center Enamel Supports Xinhua Government's Environmental Initiative with Leachate Treatment Project
In alignment with China's heightened focus on environmental conservation, Center Enamel has been instrumental in advancing sustainable solutions through its participation in the Xinhua Government Landfill Leachate Treatment Project. This significant municipal endeavor underscores Center Enamel's commitment to providing robust, environmentally friendly storage and treatment solutions for complex waste management challenges.
Project Specifications and Tank Configuration
Located in Xinghua city, Jiangsu province, the municipal landfill leachate treatment initiative required a specialized, corrosion-resistant containment infrastructure. Leachate—a highly toxic liquid formed from the breakdown of solid waste—demands rigorous engineering to prevent soil and groundwater contamination. Completed in January 2018, the project features 6 sets of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks engineered for distinct treatment stages:
● Concentration Tanks: 2 sets ( 3.82m x 7.2m)
● Secondary Tanks: 2 sets ( 12.23m x 9.6m)
● Nitration Tanks: 2 sets ( 13.76m x 9.6m)
● Tank Color: Dark green
● Roof Type: Open tank configuration
● Coating Technology: 2 Enameling, 2 Firing for permanent molecular glass-steel fusion
Advanced Engineering for Hazardous Wastewater Treatment
Landfill leachate contains high concentrations of heavy metals, volatile organics, and aggressive chemical compounds that rapidly degrade standard carbon steel and concrete. Center Enamel's GFS tanks provide elite performance for severe wastewater environments:
● Superior Corrosion Resistance: Fusing porcelain enamel glass to structural steel at extreme temperatures (820C to 930C) creates an inert, non-porous vitreous glass surface that withstands chemical attack without blistering or oxidizing.
● Modular Bolted Flexibility: Prefabricated bolted panels allow efficient transport and rapid on-site assembly, minimizing civic disruption during municipal infrastructure upgrades.
● Long-Term Reliability: Designed for a maintenance-free service life exceeding 30 years, eliminating the recurring need for internal repainting or structural rehabilitation.
Comparative Matrix: Leachate Treatment Tank Technologies
Evaluation Parameter | Center Enamel Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks | Cast-in-Place Concrete Basins | Traditional Welded Carbon Steel Tanks |
Chemical & Acid Resistance | Permanent glass-steel fusion completely resists aggressive leachate and chemical loads | Vulnerable to concrete carbonation, acid etching, and structural micro-cracking | High susceptibility to interior pitting and paint delamination under toxic exposure |
Installation Speed & Rigging | Rapid modular bolted erection completed safely on schedule | Extremely slow civil construction requiring formwork, pouring, and curing | Slow field construction requiring complex manual welding and site coatings |
Maintenance Requirements | Minimal; smooth glass surface requires no periodic interior recoating | Moderate; requires joint sealant replacement and structural crack repair | High; requires frequent interior and exterior repainting to prevent oxidation |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: Where is the Xinhua/Xinghua landfill leachate treatment project located?
A: The project is located in Xinghua city, Jiangsu province, supporting municipal environmental protection and wastewater management.
Q: What type and quantity of tanks were supplied for this initiative?
A: Center Enamel supplied 6 sets of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks in total, comprising 2 concentration tanks (3.82m x 7.2m), 2 secondary tanks (12.23m x 9.6m), and 2 nitration tanks (13.76m x 9.6m).
Q: When was the installation of the Xinhua project completed?
A: The installation of all six GFS tanks was successfully completed and finalized in January 2018.
Q: Why are GFS tanks ideal for municipal landfill leachate storage?
A: GFS tanks combine the structural strength of steel with a fused, non-porous glass lining that offers permanent resistance to toxic leachate chemicals, preventing environmental leaks and ensuring a multi-decade operational lifespan.
