Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tanks for Slaughterhouse Wastewater: Robust
Containment for Blood, Solids, and Fats
Slaughterhouse wastewater treatment is characterized by one of the highest organic loads in the
industrial sector. The effluent is a complex mixture containing
high concentrations of blood, solids, and fats, resulting in extremely elevated 
and 
levels. This waste stream is not only highly corrosive due to rapid
fermentation but also presents significant challenges related to
pathogen risk and fat management. Effective treatment requires robust containment that can handle dense, abrasive solids while resisting the
corrosive effects of organic acids and the accumulation of fats,
oils, and grease (
). The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank provides this necessary durability and chemical resilience. At
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel), we
utilize FBE bolted steel technology to deliver structurally sound,
hygienic vessels that are essential for compliant and safe slaughterhouse wastewater treatment.
The High-Load, Pathogenic Nature of Slaughter Effluent
Containment vessels at slaughterhouses must withstand a continuous
barrage of high-stress factors:
Extreme Organic Load: The concentration of blood, tissue, and residual protein results
in exceptionally high 
and 
(often several thousand 
). This massive organic load rapidly breaks down, creating a highly
corrosive, low-
environment rich in volatile fatty acids.
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Slaughterhouse wastewater is notoriously high in fats and grease, which solidify, adhere to tank walls, and inhibit
biological processes. Containment must possess a smooth, non-porous
surface that discourages this buildup.
High Solids and Abrasiveness: The stream contains high levels of suspended solids and tissue fragments. Tanks used in pre-treatment and sludge
holding must be robust enough to handle the immense weight and
abrasive nature of this dense material.
Pathogen Risk: Due to the presence of blood and animal byproducts, the potential for microbial and pathogenic
contamination is high. The containment must be chemically resistant
enough to support the necessary disinfection (e.g., chlorine) and
cleaning-in-place (
) procedures without degradation.
A sustainable solution demands robust containment that is capable of managing extremely high organic loads while offering permanent resistance to corrosive acids and 
.
The FBE Solution: Robust Containment for Blood, Solids, and Fats
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are
engineered for slaughterhouse wastewater treatment, providing robust containment for blood, solids, and fats:
Superior Resistance to Organic Acids and 
: The FBE coating is a dense, high-performance, thermoset polymer
that provides permanent defense against the corrosive, low-
environment generated by the rapid breakdown of organic matter and
blood. Its smooth, non-porous surface actively minimizes the
adhesion and buildup of fats, oils, and grease.
Structural Integrity for High-Density Loads: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, FBE tanks
offer the superior structural strength required for large
equalization basins, sludge holding tanks, and anaerobic digesters,
which manage the immense weight of dense solids and high-specific-gravity effluent.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean: The factory-applied FBE finish is smooth and uniform, resisting
fouling and facilitating effective wash-downs and disinfection
procedures, which is critical for mitigating pathogen risk in
handling blood-containing waste streams.
Ideal for Resource Recovery: The FBE tank’s design is often used for efficient biogas capture
from the anaerobic digestion of this high-BOD effluent, utilizing
its gas-tight construction and corrosion resistance to internal
biogases.
Rapid Deployment: The modular, bolted system allows for quick, predictable
installation. This speed is vital for meat processing facilities
needing to rapidly implement or upgrade treatment capacity to
maintain production and compliance.
Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Slaughterhouse
Wastewater Infrastructure
The strength and chemical resilience of FBE tanks make them
indispensable across all high-demand stages of slaughterhouse wastewater treatment:
Blood Collection and Screening Tanks: Used in the initial stages for separating and collecting blood and large solids, requiring maximum structural strength and abrasion resistance.
Fat, Oil, and Grease (
) Removal: Providing robust containment for 
(Dissolved Air Flotation) units and grease traps, relying on the
FBE’s smooth surface for effective 
management.
Equalization Basins: Crucial for stabilizing the highly variable flow, 
, and organic load from processing cycles, protecting downstream
biological processes.
Anaerobic and Aerobic Reactors: Serving as the core vessels for biological degradation of the
high-BOD effluent, utilizing the tank's structural integrity to
support mixing and aeration equipment.
