Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Dairy Industry Wastewater Treatment: A
strong, leak-proof option for managing milk and processing
effluents.
Dairy industry wastewater treatment encompasses managing various high-strength effluent streams,
primarily composed of residual milk and processing effluents (including whey, cleaning chemicals, and fats). This wastewater is
characterized by an extremely high organic load , high fat, oil,
and grease content, and rapid acidification. Securing effective
treatment requires a strong, leak-proof option capable of withstanding heavy loads, corrosive organic acids, and
preventing environmental contamination. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank is engineered to meet these demanding specifications. At
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we
utilize FBE bolted steel technology to deliver structurally strong and chemically inert vessels that are the definitive choice for dairy industry wastewater treatment.
The Dual Challenge of Dairy Effluent Management
Containment infrastructure for dairy industry wastewater must successfully navigate a combination of structural stress and
aggressive chemical conditions:
High Organic Corrosivity: The high concentration of lactose and proteins in milk and processing effluents rapidly decomposes into organic acids (lactic acid), creating a
persistent, low-
corrosive environment. The tank must be leak-proof and corrosion-resistant to protect against this chemical attack.
Structural Load from High Solids/FOG: The effluent contains high levels of suspended solids and FOG, making the liquid dense and heavy. This imposes immense
hydrostatic pressure on the tank structure, necessitating a strong and certified vessel design.
Leak Prevention (Leak-Proof Option): Due to the high 
and potential pathogen load, leakage of untreated dairy effluent is a severe environmental risk. A leak-proof option is mandatory to prevent soil and groundwater contamination and
ensure regulatory compliance.
Hygiene and Maintenance: The internal surface must resist the adherence of sticky FOG residues, requiring a non-porous lining that simplifies cleaning
and ensures the strong, long-term operational performance of the tank.
A reliable system must be a strong, leak-proof option for managing milk and processing
effluents while maintaining hygienic conditions.
The FBE Solution: Strong and Leak-Proof for Dairy Effluents
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
explicitly engineered to address the critical needs of dairy industry wastewater treatment:
Superior Structural Strength (Strong Option): Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, FBE tanks
offer immense structural integrity. This makes them a strong solution, safely managing the heavy loads associated with
large-volume holding tanks and reactors for dense milk and processing effluents.
Guaranteed Seal Integrity (Leak-Proof Option): The bolted panel design, combined with advanced, specialized
sealants, ensures a liquid-tight, gas-tight connection at every
joint. This leak-proof option is critical for preventing the escape of corrosive liquid and
biogas, thereby eliminating the risk of environmental
contamination.
Corrosion Resistance to Organic Acids: The molecularly bonded FBE coating provides a permanent, dense
barrier, offering superior chemical resistance against the lactic and volatile fatty acids found in dairy effluent, ensuring the tank's structure remains protected for decades.
Optimal for Biological Treatment: FBE tanks are ideal for the anaerobic digestion (AD) stage, which
is commonly used for high-strength dairy effluents. Their strong and leak-proof design ensures efficient and safe capture of corrosive biogas (
).
Cost-Effective and Rapid Deployment: The modular design allows for extremely fast on-site assembly,
minimizing construction time and providing a strong and cost-effective solution for quickly establishing or expanding treatment capacity.
