Revolutionizing Wastewater Treatment Center Enamel's Glass-Fused-to-Steel MBBR Tanks
As the global demand for efficient, sustainable, and cost-effective wastewater treatment solutions continues to grow, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) stands at the forefront, delivering cutting-edge Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) tanks. Leveraging our pioneering Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) technology, Center Enamel provides robust, long-lasting, and highly adaptable tank solutions that optimize MBBR system performance across municipal, industrial, and agricultural applications worldwide.
The Power of MBBR Technology in Center Enamel Tanks
The Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR) is a highly effective biological wastewater treatment process that combines the benefits of activated sludge and biofilm systems. At its core, MBBR utilizes specialized plastic carriers that house and cultivate a robust biofilm of microorganisms. These carriers move freely within the reactor tank, providing an extensive surface area for microbial growth and ensuring efficient degradation of pollutants.
When integrated with Center Enamel's superior Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks, MBBR systems achieve unparalleled levels of performance and longevity. Our GFS tanks provide the ideal containment solution, enhancing the inherent advantages of MBBR technology.
Why Center Enamel's GFS Tanks are the Ideal Choice for MBBR Systems
Center Enamel's GFS tanks are engineered for excellence, offering a unique combination of features that make them perfectly suited for demanding MBBR applications:
Unrivaled Corrosion Resistance: The cornerstone of our GFS technology lies in the fusion of glass to steel at temperatures between 820°C and 930°C. This creates an inert, impermeable, and incredibly hard surface that is inherently resistant to a vast range of corrosive agents commonly found in wastewater, including acids, alkalis, and chlorides. This superior corrosion resistance ensures the structural integrity of the MBBR tank for decades, far surpassing the lifespan of traditional concrete or epoxy-coated steel tanks, which are susceptible to chemical attack and degradation over time. For MBBR systems, where diverse and sometimes aggressive wastewater streams are treated, this durability is paramount.
Exceptional Durability and Longevity: Designed for a service life exceeding 30 years, Center Enamel GFS tanks are built to withstand the rigorous conditions of continuous MBBR operation. The fused glass layer provides a Mohs hardness of 6.0, offering excellent impact and wear resistance. This robust construction ensures that the tanks can endure the constant movement of carrier media and aeration without compromise, maintaining their structural integrity and operational efficiency.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean Surface: The smooth, glossy, and non-porous nature of the GFS coating inhibits the adhesion and growth of biofilms, algae, and bacteria on the tank walls. This self-cleaning characteristic is crucial for maintaining optimal biological activity within the MBBR system and significantly reduces the need for frequent, intensive cleaning. Minimal wall fouling ensures that the MBBR carriers have maximum space to circulate and perform effectively, leading to consistent treatment outcomes and reduced maintenance downtime.
Compact Footprint and High Volumetric Efficiency: MBBR systems are renowned for their small footprint, making them ideal for urban areas or sites with limited space. Center Enamel's modular GFS tanks further complement this advantage. Their pre-fabricated, bolted panel design allows for optimized space utilization and rapid on-site assembly, translating into a smaller overall physical footprint for the treatment plant compared to conventional activated sludge or concrete systems. This efficiency is particularly valuable for industries looking to increase treatment capacity without expanding their physical premises.
Flexibility and Scalability: The modular bolted construction of GFS tanks offers inherent flexibility. MBBR systems can be easily expanded in the future by adding more tank modules, accommodating increasing wastewater volumes or more stringent discharge requirements. This adaptability ensures that your investment remains viable and responsive to evolving operational needs. Furthermore, existing tanks can often be retrofitted to incorporate MBBR technology, providing a cost-effective upgrade path.
Quick and Cost-Effective Installation: Unlike poured concrete tanks that require extensive cure times and specialized labor, or welded steel tanks that demand on-site welding, GFS tanks are manufactured under strict factory conditions. Their modular design facilitates rapid assembly on-site, significantly reducing installation time, labor costs, and overall project timelines. This leads to a faster return on investment and minimizes disruption to existing operations.
Reduced Maintenance and Lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO): The superior corrosion resistance and durable surface of GFS tanks result in minimal maintenance requirements. There's no need for periodic recoating, painting, or extensive repairs for cracks, which are common issues with concrete or fusion-bonded epoxy tanks. This significantly reduces ongoing operational expenses and enhances the long-term economic viability of the wastewater treatment facility.
Center Enamel's Commitment to Quality and Global Standards

ISO 28765 (Enameled Bolted Steel Tanks)
WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme, UK)
FM (Factory Mutual – for fire protection applications, indicating structural robustness)
ISO 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems)
Our engineering and design practices strictly follow international guidelines such as AWWA D103-09, OSHA, and EUROCODE, guaranteeing the highest levels of structural integrity and safety.
Diverse Applications of Center Enamel MBBR Tanks
Center Enamel's GFS tanks are ideally suited for a wide array of MBBR applications across various sectors:
Municipal Wastewater Treatment: Efficient BOD/COD removal, nitrification, and denitrification for urban sewage plants, particularly beneficial for upgrading existing facilities or in areas with space constraints.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment: Handling diverse and often high-strength industrial effluents from sectors such as food and beverage, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, and automotive. MBBR's resilience to shock loads and varying influent characteristics makes it an excellent choice.
Breeding Wastewater Treatment: Providing robust solutions for highly polluted wastewater from livestock and aquaculture, often integrated with anaerobic digestion for biogas production.
Landfill Leachate Treatment: Effectively treating complex and highly variable leachate, ensuring compliance with environmental discharge regulations.
Decentralized Wastewater Treatment: Ideal for remote communities, resorts, or industrial parks requiring self-contained, efficient treatment systems.
