Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Food Processing Wastewater: Ensures a hygienic,

Product Specification

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Food Processing Wastewater: Ensures a hygienic, resilient vessel for various food-grade liquid wastes.

Food processing wastewater originates from diverse operations—including vegetable washing, meat preparation, baking, and canning—and is defined by its high variability, high organic load and presence of fats, oils, and grease . Effective management requires a containment solution that is inherently hygienic and structurally resilient to withstand aggressive cleaning chemicals, rapid organic decomposition, and high solids content. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank is specifically engineered to serve as a hygienic, resilient vessel for various food-grade liquid wastes while guaranteeing process integrity and environmental compliance.
 

The Critical Requirements for Food-Grade Containment

Containment infrastructure for food processing wastewater must adhere to strict operational and safety criteria:

 
Hygiene and Cleanliness: As the waste originates from food operations, the vessel must be a hygienic solution with a non-porous internal surface that resists biofilm growth, slime adherence, and is easy to clean, preventing cross-contamination risks.

 
Chemical Resilience: Tanks must be resilient to the corrosive effects of organic acids produced during decomposition and the frequent application of strong alkaline or acidic cleaning-in-place chemicals used to sanitize processing equipment.

 
FOG and Solids Management: The presence of high levels of and suspended solids imposes structural challenges and requires a resilient lining that resists the abrasive wear and sticking often associated with high-solids slurry.

 
Structural Integrity and Reliability: Food processing facilities require continuous operation. The containment system must be a resilient vessel that offers superior structural strength to manage high-volume flows and large treatment reactors without failure.

 
A sustainable system requires a hygienic, resilient vessel to securely manage various food-grade liquid wastes.
 

The FBE Solution: A Hygienic, Resilient Vessel for Food Waste

Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are engineered to meet the unique durability and safety demands of food processing wastewater containment:

 
Non-Porous and Chemically Inert : The factory-applied coating is a dense, smooth, thermoset polymer that is molecularly bonded to the steel. This creates an inherently hygienic surface that resists the adherence of food residues and is chemically inert to both organic acids and common chemicals.

 
Superior Chemical Resistance : The barrier provides robust and resilient protection against the combined attack of low from fermentation byproducts and the high from alkaline washdown, ensuring the long-term integrity of the steel structure.

 
Structural Strength for Heavy Load: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, tanks offer superior structural strength. This makes them a resilient vessel capable of safely managing the immense hydrostatic pressure from large volumes of high-solids, dense food-grade liquid wastes.

 
Ideal for Biological Treatment: tanks are widely used as high-rate anaerobic digesters for converting the high-organic liquid waste into biogas. Their gas-tight design and resistance to corrosive biogases enhance process efficiency and safety.

 
Rapid, Cost-Effective Deployment: The modular, bolt-together design allows for fast, efficient installation, minimizing downtime and quickly establishing the necessary resilient treatment capacity for continuous food processing operations.

Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Food Processing Infrastructure

The tank's specialized properties make it indispensable across all stages of food processing wastewater management:

 
Equalization Basins: Used to blend and stabilize the highly variable flow and concentration of food-grade liquid wastes, relying on the tank's resilient structure to handle hydraulic shock.

 
Anaerobic and Aerobic Reactors: Serving as the core vessel for biological treatment, requiring a hygienic, resilient vessel to support mixing equipment and resist organic corrosivity.

 
Dissolved Air Flotation Skimming Tanks: Providing secure containment for units, where the lining resists the sticky adherence of the skimmed .

 
Sludge and High-Solids Holding: Offering durable, resilient containment for the concentrated sludges and high-solids residues before dewatering.
