Anaerobic Fermentation Tanks: Advanced Solutions for Sustainable Biogas and Waste Treatment by Center Enamel
Anaerobic fermentation—the microbial breakdown of organic matter without oxygen—is a keystone process in modern environmental technology and the global pursuit of a circular economy. From municipal waste management and agricultural residues to food processing and industrial by-products, anaerobic digestion plays a critical role in sustainable energy, nutrient recycling, and pollution mitigation. The heart of any reliable digestion facility is the anaerobic fermentation tank. As a worldwide leader in advanced tank technologies, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) sets the standard with its Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) anaerobic fermentation tanks.
Anaerobic fermentation is the process by which microorganisms break down organic matter (such as manure, food waste, or sewage sludge) in the absence of oxygen. The process results in the production of biogas (a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide) and digestate (a nutrient-rich byproduct used as fertilizer). Anaerobic fermentation tanks serve as the heart of this process, providing a contained, controlled environment for biochemical reactions, gas collection, and effective solids management.
Anaerobic digestion generates acids, sulfides, ammonia, and volatile fatty acids that devastate standard steel, concrete, and even many lined tanks. Glass enamel, fused at 820–930°C to steel, forms a seamless, non-porous barrier that is gas- and liquid-tight, impervious to the harshest chemicals, and offers service lifespans of 30 years or more.[1][3][2]
A GFS tank’s robust steel substrate delivers exceptional mechanical strength, enabling it to withstand internal biogas pressure, temperature swings, mixing, and environmental loads. The bolted, modular assembly allows for rapid installation and future scalability, catering to projects of all sizes.[1][4][2]
The inert, smooth glass surface of GFS tanks inhibits microbial colonization and scaling, simplifying cleaning operations and improving overall hygiene—vital in anaerobic and food-processing industries for regulatory and process reasons
Unlike concrete or steel tanks that require regular painting, recoating, or patching, GFS tanks are virtually maintenance-free, cutting lifecycle costs and downtime.
Double-sided, typically 0.25–0.45mm, kiln-fired for optimal fusion and tested for integrity (spark-test >1,500V, adhesion ≥3,450 N/cm2).· Customization:
Tanks from <50m³ to >20,000m³, heights, diameters, insulation, mixing, gas domes, monitoring ports, ladders, and platforms.· Color Options:
· Biogas Plants: Rural, agricultural, food processing, and municipal waste-to-energy projects.
· Industrial Wastewater: Treatment of brewery, sugar mill, and dairy effluents, producing energy and reducing pollution.
· Municipal Sludge Digestion: Stabilization, biogas production, and nutrient recycling from city wastewater facilities.
· Landfill Leachate and High-strength Waste: Secure, cost-effective containment and treatment for challenging industrial waste streams.
· Green Energy Investments: Anchor technology in new circular economy infrastructure for clean, distributed energy.
· Circular Economy: Transforming waste into biogas and valuable digestate closes the resource loop and helps fight climate change.
