Center Enamel Supplies Advanced Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for Dubai World Central Airport Wastewater Project
In line with its commitment to supporting sustainable water management infrastructure worldwide, Center Enamel provided high-quality Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks for the Dubai World Central Airport Wastewater Project. Installed in January 2021, this project showcases Center Enamel’s expertise in designing durable, efficient, and environmentally friendly storage solutions for demanding applications, such as those needed in the wastewater treatment processes at one of the world’s most advanced airports.
Project Overview
The Dubai World Central Airport Wastewater Project called for specific tank designs to support various stages of the wastewater treatment process, including membrane bioreactor (MBR) filtration and aeration. Center Enamel delivered two essential tanks with open roofs, custom-designed to meet the needs of the facility:
MBR Tank: Diameter 11.11 meters x 5.8 meters (H), with a capacity of 560m³
Aeration Tank: Diameter 16.2 meters x 5.8 meters (H), with a capacity of 1155m³
The project was completed and commissioned in early 2021 and is now fully operational, providing effective wastewater treatment to meet the airport’s sustainability and environmental standards.
Glass-Fused-to-Steel: Ideal for Wastewater Applications
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are a top choice for wastewater treatment applications due to their high durability, corrosion resistance, and modular assembly. The tanks are constructed by fusing glass to steel at high temperatures, creating a chemically resistant surface that is ideal for treating and storing wastewater. These tanks are highly resistant to corrosion and can withstand the harsh chemical and environmental demands of wastewater treatment.
Key advantages of GFS tanks include:
Quick Installation: GFS tanks are designed for fast, efficient installation, significantly reducing project timelines and enabling facilities to go into operation sooner.
Low Maintenance: The highly durable tank walls require minimal upkeep, resulting in long-term cost savings.
Environmentally Friendly Design: The long lifespan and reusability of GFS tanks make them a sustainable choice for wastewater management infrastructure.
Open-Roof Design: Optimal for Aeration and MBR Applications
For the Dubai World Central Airport Project, Center Enamel provided tanks with an open-roof design, which is particularly suited to aeration and MBR applications. The open-roof structure allows easy access for maintenance and operational adjustments, which is essential in aeration processes where oxygen needs to interact with the wastewater. Additionally, the open-roof MBR tank offers efficient waste filtration, enhancing water quality and ensuring compliance with environmental standards.
Ensuring Efficient and Sustainable Wastewater Management
The wastewater treatment system at Dubai World Central Airport plays a crucial role in supporting the airport’s environmental goals by providing effective wastewater filtration, recycling, and treatment processes. Center Enamel’s GFS tanks were carefully selected to meet the facility’s high standards for performance, efficiency, and sustainability. With the MBR and aeration tanks now fully operational, the project supports Dubai’s long-term vision of sustainable infrastructure development.
