Center Enamel Successfully Completes Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' Pharmaceutical Wastewater Project
Center Enamel successfully completed and operationalized the Hengrui Pharmaceuticals' Pharmaceutical Wastewater Project in Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China. This project represents a significant milestone in our commitment to delivering advanced, high-performance containment and treatment solutions for complex pharmaceutical wastewater streams.
Project Overview and Technical Specifications
Completed in 2021, the Hengrui Pharmaceuticals project addresses the intricate chemical compositions, high organic loading, and strict environmental compliance required in pharmaceutical manufacturing effluent management. Center Enamel supplied multiple precision-engineered Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, perfectly tailored to handle diverse biological and chemical reaction stages within the treatment facility:
● Application Area: Pharmaceutical Wastewater Treatment
● Project Location: Lianyungang, Jiangsu, China
● Tank Configurations:
○ 10.7m x 16.8m (H), 2 units
○ 7.64m x 3.6m (H), 2 units
○ 5.35m x 3.6m (H), 4 units
○ 3.82m x 3.6m (H), 2 units
● Total Tank Volume: 3,748 m3
● Completion Year: 2021
Advanced Engineering for Pharmaceutical Effluent Containment
Pharmaceutical wastewater often features complex active ingredients, solvents, shifting pH levels, and high chemical oxygen demand (COD). Center Enamel's GFS tanks integrate the robust structural strength of steel with the absolute chemical inertia of porcelain enamel glass fused at extreme temperatures (820C to 930C):
● Superior Corrosion Resistance: The smooth, vitreous glass surface completely resists chemical attack, organic solvents, and acid-base variations without degradation.
● Rigorous Quality Assurance: Every modular panel undergoes strict high-voltage holiday testing (1500V) to verify zero pinhole defects and ensure total environmental containment security.
● Modular Bolted Flexibility: Prefabricated bolted assembly enables fast, efficient installation on-site with minimal heavy construction disruption.
Comparative Matrix: Pharmaceutical Wastewater Tank Technologies
Evaluation Parameter | Center Enamel Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks | Cast-in-Place Concrete Basins | Traditional Welded Carbon Steel Tanks |
Chemical & Solvent Resistance | Permanent high-temperature glass-steel fusion withstands aggressive pharmaceutical compounds and wide pH swings | Vulnerable to concrete carbonation, chemical etching, and sub-surface leakage | High susceptibility to interior oxidation, pitting, and protective paint failure |
Installation Speed & Rigging | Rapid modular bolted construction completed efficiently with minimal space and labor | Extremely slow civil construction requiring formwork, pouring, and long curing cycles | Slow field construction requiring complex manual welding and site coatings |
Maintenance Requirements | Minimal; smooth non-porous glass surface prevents biofilm buildup and requires no recoating | Moderate to high; requires crack sealing, chemical coatings, and structural repairs | High; requires recurring abrasive blasting and protective interior repainting |
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What was the scope of Center Enamel's project for Hengrui Pharmaceuticals?
A: Center Enamel supplied a multi-unit configuration comprising 9 specialized Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks across four size dimensions, delivering a total volume of 3,748 m3 for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment in Lianyungang, Jiangsu.
Q: Why are Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks ideal for pharmaceutical wastewater treatment?
A: Pharmaceutical wastewater contains active chemical residues and organic loads. GFS tanks provide an inorganic, non-porous glass lining that resists chemical corrosion, prevents contamination, and ensures a long structural service life exceeding 30 years.
Q: When was the Hengrui Pharmaceuticals wastewater project completed?
A: Construction and implementation of the project were successfully finalized in 2021, and the containment system is fully operational.
Q: What international quality standards do Center Enamel's wastewater tanks meet?
A: Center Enamel manufactures its bolted tanks in strict compliance with globally recognized benchmarks, including AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, and NSF/ANSI 61.
