Center Enamel Supplies Asia’s Largest Glass-Fused-to-Steel Anaerobic Digester Tanks for Swaziland Wastewater Treatment Project
In an ambitious wastewater management endeavor, Center Enamel provided two of the largest Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) anaerobic digester tanks built by an Asian supplier for the Swaziland Wastewater Treatment Project. Successfully installed on March 25, 2020, these impressive tanks now play a pivotal role in managing and treating wastewater in the region. This project showcases Center Enamel’s engineering capabilities and commitment to supplying innovative and effective wastewater treatment solutions on a global scale.
Project Overview: Swaziland Wastewater Treatment
The Swaziland Wastewater Treatment Project required highly durable and large-scale tanks to handle anaerobic digestion, a critical step in breaking down and treating organic matter in wastewater. Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks were selected for their durability, corrosion resistance, and ability to support Swaziland’s sustainable wastewater management goals.
Project Details:
Tank Type: Anaerobic Digester GFS Tanks
Tank Specifications: Diameter 56.56 meters x 8.4 meters (H), with a capacity of 21,094 cubic meters per tank
Total Tanks: 2 units
Roof Type: Floating roof by others
Installation Date: Completed on March 25, 2020
Operation Status: Construction completed and in full operation
With a diameter of 56.56 meters, these tanks are among the largest GFS tanks built by an Asian supplier, emphasizing Center Enamel’s leadership and capacity in large-scale tank production for industrial applications.
Advantages of Center Enamel’s Glass-Fused-to-Steel Tanks
Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks offer significant advantages over traditional storage solutions, making them ideal for the challenging demands of anaerobic digestion in wastewater treatment. GFS technology involves fusing glass to steel at high temperatures, creating an exceptionally strong, chemically resistant surface that ensures a long service life and minimal maintenance requirements. These properties are crucial for treating wastewater in large-scale facilities like the Swaziland project.
Key benefits of using Center Enamel’s GFS tanks for wastewater treatment include:
Corrosion Resistance: The glass coating resists corrosion from acidic and chemical-laden wastewater, enhancing tank longevity and reducing maintenance costs.
Fast Installation: Modular GFS tank design allows for rapid and efficient installation, ensuring timely project completion.
Cost-Effective and Durable: With a lifespan that outlasts many conventional materials, GFS tanks are a cost-effective solution for long-term wastewater treatment infrastructure.
Floating Roof Design for Efficient Anaerobic Digestion
To accommodate the specific requirements of anaerobic digestion, each tank features a floating roof (installed by a third party), which offers flexibility for gas collection and efficient containment during the digestion process. Floating roofs are often used in anaerobic digester tanks to adjust to changes in internal pressure and to manage biogas more effectively, enabling the Swaziland facility to optimize its waste-to-energy recovery.
Supporting Sustainable Wastewater Management in Swaziland
The Swaziland Wastewater Treatment Project highlights Center Enamel’s commitment to advancing global wastewater management through sustainable, high-quality infrastructure. The anaerobic digestion process in these tanks breaks down organic waste, reducing sludge volume, capturing methane for energy production, and ultimately reducing the facility’s environmental impact.
With a capacity of 21,094 cubic meters per tank, these GFS tanks support Swaziland’s long-term water treatment and environmental goals. Center Enamel’s solution offers a dependable, efficient, and environmentally conscious approach to managing wastewater and repurposing biogas as a renewable energy source, which further contributes to Swaziland’s sustainable development.
