Center Enamel Provides Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks for the Russian Sakhalin Municipal Sewage Treatment Project
Center Enamel continues to demonstrate its global expertise in wastewater treatment with the successful provision of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks for the Russian Sakhalin Municipal Sewage Treatment Project. This project, which was completed and put into operation in May 2017, underscores our commitment to delivering high-quality wastewater treatment solutions, designed to meet the unique needs of municipalities around the world.
Project Overview
Application Area: Municipal Sewage Treatment
Project Location: Sakhalin, Russia
Completion Date: May 2017
Operation Status: Fully operational
Project Specifications
The Sakhalin Municipal Sewage Treatment Plant employs UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactors to treat wastewater efficiently. The project utilized the following tank sizes:
UASB Reactor Size 1: Φ4.58×8.4m (H), 139m³ – 2 sets
UASB Reactor Size 2: Φ8.4×8.4m (H), 465m³ – 2 sets
Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks: The Ideal Solution for UASB Reactors
UASB reactors play a critical role in sewage treatment, using anaerobic processes to break down organic matter. The tanks that house these reactors must be highly durable, corrosion-resistant, and capable of withstanding a range of environmental and operational conditions. For this reason, Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks were the ideal choice for the Sakhalin project.
Why Choose Center Enamel’s GFS Tanks for Sewage Treatment?
Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: The glass coating fused to the steel substrate provides superior resistance to the corrosive elements often present in municipal sewage treatment. This ensures a long tank lifespan with minimal maintenance, even in the demanding conditions of UASB reactors.
Durability and Strength: Center Enamel’s GFS tanks are designed to withstand both the physical pressure of the stored wastewater and the environmental challenges of the Sakhalin region. The steel substrate offers the structural strength necessary for the large reactor sizes used in the project.
Fast and Efficient Installation: Our bolted GFS tanks can be quickly assembled on-site, significantly reducing installation time compared to traditional welded steel or concrete tanks. This made it possible for the Sakhalin project to be completed on schedule, ensuring a smooth transition to operation.
Low Maintenance: With the corrosion-resistant properties of the glass coating, Center Enamel’s GFS tanks require minimal maintenance, reducing long-term operational costs for municipal clients.
The Role of UASB Reactors in the Sakhalin Project
The UASB reactors installed in the Sakhalin sewage treatment plant are designed to treat sewage by breaking down organic pollutants in the absence of oxygen. This anaerobic process produces biogas, which can be used as an energy source, further enhancing the environmental sustainability of the treatment process.
Reactor Size 1: Two UASB reactors, each with a capacity of 139m³, handle smaller volumes of sewage, optimizing the efficiency of the treatment process.
Reactor Size 2: Two larger UASB reactors, each with a capacity of 465m³, manage higher volumes of sewage, ensuring that the treatment plant can handle the demands of the growing Sakhalin municipality.
