China’s Leading Biological Wastewater Tank Manufacturer — Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel)
In an age where urbanization and industrial expansion continue to reshape human civilization, treating and reusing wastewater has become an indispensable priority. Around the world, biological wastewater treatment systems play a pivotal role in safeguarding ecosystems, protecting public health, and supporting the circular economy. At the heart of these systems — where science meets structure — are biological wastewater tanks: specialized containment systems designed to foster microbial decomposition of organic matter and transform pollutants into clean, reusable water.
For in this nexus of biology, engineering, and sustainability, one company stands above the rest — Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd., known globally as Center Enamel. As China’s leading manufacturer of biological wastewater tanks, Center Enamel blends decades of materials science research with cutting-edge construction and environmental stewardship.
With over 35 years of experience, a manufacturing base spanning 150,000 m², and project experience in more than 100 countries, Center Enamel is a global leader in Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank solutions, helping industries and municipalities build a cleaner future.
1. The Growing Importance of Biological Wastewater Treatment
The world generates over 380 billion cubic meters of wastewater annually, much of which contains organic contaminants, nutrients, oils, and suspended solids. Traditional physicochemical methods alone are insufficient to treat this magnitude of pollution efficiently. Biological wastewater treatment — leveraging naturally occurring microorganisms — provides an eco-friendly, renewable, and cost-effective alternative.
Microbial communities consume and convert pollutants into harmless gases and biomass. In doing so, biological treatment significantly reduces chemical oxygen demand (COD), biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), and nitrogen/phosphorus loads, producing effluent suitable for reuse or safe discharge.
However, biological processes demand precisely engineered environments: constant oxygen levels, temperature regulation, and containment capable of resisting corrosive forces caused by moisture, chemicals, and microbial by-products. That’s where Center Enamel’s biological wastewater tanks — engineered using Glass-Fused-to-Steel technology — play a crucial role.
2. About Center Enamel — Innovating for a Sustainable Planet
Established in 2008, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) was the first company in China to design and manufacture Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks, and remains the industry leader in Asia.

3. Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology — The Foundation of Durability
At the core of Center Enamel’s biological wastewater tanks is its proprietary Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) process — a state-of-the-art technology that merges glass and steel at high temperatures to create a composite material of exceptional strength and chemical stability.
During manufacturing, special low-carbon steel sheets are coated with glass frit and baked in furnaces between 820°C and 930°C. The molten glass fuses into the steel, forming an inert and corrosion-resistant surface. This “glass-steel composite” combines:
· The toughness and flexibility of steel for structural endurance.
· The chemical inertness of glass for corrosion prevention.
Key advantages of GFS coatings:
· Exceptional pH tolerance ranging from 1 to 14.
· High adhesion (≥ 3450 N/cm²) to steel substrate.
· Smooth, non-reactive, and easily cleanable enamel finish.
· UV resistance and long-term color retention.
· Average lifespan exceeding 30 years in harsh environments.
This technology ensures that tanks maintain integrity under constant exposure to biological by-products, acids, gases, and fluctuating temperatures.
4. The Role of Biological Wastewater Tanks in Treatment Systems
Biological wastewater tanks are engineered for processes that leverage microbial activity to degrade pollutants in wastewater. Center Enamel’s tanks are widely used in both aerobic and anaerobic treatment applications within municipal and industrial settings.
Common applications include:
· Aeration tanks: For oxygen-driven degradation of organics.
· Anaerobic digesters: For biogas generation from sludge and organic waste.
· Sequencing batch reactors (SBRs): For periodic aeration and sedimentation.
· Sludge thickening or storage tanks: For biological stabilization before disposal.
· Equalization tanks: To manage flow and quality variations prior to biological processing.
From small municipal plants to complex industrial ecosystems, GFS biological tanks enable flexible, efficient, and environmentally compliant wastewater management.
5. Key Advantages of Center Enamel Biological Wastewater Tanks
