FBE Coated Tank for Industrial Biogas Plants: A cost-effective
vessel for all stages of industrial-scale anaerobic digestion.
Industrial Biogas Plants are large-scale facilities converting high-volume, high-strength
organic wastes 
into renewable energy. These operations require massive,
structurally sound containment vessels that can function
effectively across all stages of industrial-scale anaerobic digestion 
. The essential demand is for a cost-effective vessel that is permanently resistant to the high levels of corrosive gas 
and organic acids produced. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy 
Coated Tank is engineered as the premier solution, providing a cost-effective vessel for all stages of industrial-scale anaerobic
digestion.
The Industrial Scale and Corrosivity of Biogas Production
Containment infrastructure for Industrial Biogas Plants faces challenges of size, chemistry, and economics:
Massive Volume and Load 
: Industrial-scale anaerobic digestion requires tanks with huge capacities to handle continuous,
high-volume feedstock input. The vessel must be a structurally
certified, robust solution capable of safely supporting immense hydrostatic pressure and
heavy mixing equipment.
Corrosion from Biogas 
: The 
process generates biogas containing high concentrations of hydrogen
sulfide (
). This gas oxidizes in the tank headspace, forming severely
corrosive sulfuric acid. This demands a corrosion-resistant vessel with permanent protection against this relentless acid attack.
Organic Acid Attack: The industrial feedstock, often high in sugars or proteins, breaks
down rapidly into volatile fatty acids $text{VFA}$s, creating a
highly corrosive liquid environment that requires a cost-effective vessel with superior chemical inertness.
Economic Efficiency 
: Given the large number and size of tanks required for industrial-scale operations 
, the tank must offer the lowest total lifecycle cost, emphasizing
a cost-effective vessel that minimizes installation and maintenance expenses.
A sustainable Industrial Biogas Plant demands a cost-effective vessel for all stages of industrial-scale anaerobic
digestion that ensures long-term chemical resilience.
The FBE Solution: Optimized for Industrial 
Longevity
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
explicitly designed as the ideal cost-effective vessel solution for large-scale 
:
Permanent 
and Acid Resistance 
: The molecularly bonded 
coating is a dense, inert thermoset polymer. This provides a
permanent barrier highly effective against the corrosive effects of
and organic acids, making it a truly corrosion-resistant vessel critical for digester longevity.
Superior Structural Strength for Industrial Loads: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, 
tanks offer certified structural strength to meet industrial-scale engineering demands. They are a robust vessel capable of safely managing heavy loads, high temperatures, and
complex mechanical mixing apparatus.
Rapid Deployment and Cost Efficiency 
: The modular, bolted design allows for significantly faster
construction than traditional cast-in-place concrete tanks. This
rapid assembly minimizes labor and project timelines, providing a
highly cost-effective vessel for building or expanding large 
facilities.
High-Integrity Gas Containment: The precision-engineered bolted panel design and specialized
sealants ensure a gas-tight vessel, which is essential for
maximizing biogas collection efficiency and guaranteeing the safety
of the Industrial Biogas Plant.
Versatility Across All Stages: 
tanks are the cost-effective vessel of choice for equalization basins, 
digesters, secondary digesters, and digestate storage, ensuring
consistent performance and chemical resistance throughout the
entire industrial-scale anaerobic digestion process.

Lifecycle Cost Advantage in Industrial Applications
In Industrial Biogas Plants, where the number of large tanks is significant, the total
lifecycle cost is paramount. The 
tank, as a cost-effective vessel, delivers substantial savings:
Minimized Maintenance: The permanent chemical and 
resistance of the 
coating eliminates the frequent and costly relining, surface
preparation, or repair work common with traditional materials 
exposed to the aggressive chemicals of 
.
Rapid Return on Investment 
: The quick installation time means the Industrial Biogas Plant can become operational faster, accelerating the 
on energy generation.
Extended Service Life: Engineered for a service life exceeding 30 years, the 
tank ensures the industrial-scale infrastructure remains fully functional for decades, preventing
the high capital expense of premature replacement.
