Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Starch Industry Wastewater Treatment: Designed for durable storage of high-BOD and sediment-heavy effluent.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Starch Industry Wastewater Treatment: Designed for durable storage of high-BOD and sediment-heavy effluent.

Starch industry wastewater treatment, generated primarily from potato, corn, or wheat processing, presents a unique set of challenges characterized by an extremely high-BOD organic load, significant temperature variation, and the presence of sediment-heavy effluent containing fine starch particles and fibrous materials. Successful containment requires a vessel designed for durable storage that can resist organic acid corrosion, withstand abrasive sediment loads, and offer superior structural integrity for high-density slurry. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank is specifically engineered to handle this difficult environment, providing the most durable storage of high-BOD and sediment-heavy effluent.

The Specific Stressors of Starch Effluent

Containment vessels for starch industry wastewater must be resilient against the following high-stress conditions:

Extreme Organic Load and Acidification : The high concentration of residual starch rapidly decomposes, leading to the generation of volatile fatty acids $text{VFA}$s. This creates a persistent, acidic environment that aggressively attacks conventional tank linings. The tank must be designed for durable storage against this organic corrosion.

Abrasive Sediment-Heavy Effluent: The wastewater contains high concentrations of fine starch sediment, fibers, and grit. This creates a dense, abrasive slurry that continuously wears down the internal surface of the containment vessel, demanding a durable and hard lining.

Structural Load from High-Density Slurry: The high suspended solids and content mean the effluent is denser and heavier than ordinary water, imposing immense hydrostatic pressure on the tank walls. This requires a structurally durable storage solution.

Temperature Variation: Starch processing often involves hot water, leading to discharges at elevated temperatures, which accelerate both chemical corrosion and potential lining degradation.

A sustainable solution requires a tank designed for durable storage of high-BOD and sediment-heavy effluent under continuous operational stress.

The FBE Solution: Durable Storage for High-BOD and Sediment-Heavy Effluent

Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are engineered to provide the definitive, durable storage solution for the starch industry wastewater:

Permanent Acid Resistance : The molecularly bonded coating provides a dense, inert barrier with superior chemical resistance against the organic acids generated by the high-BOD load, ensuring the steel structure is protected long-term from corrosive attack.

Abrasive Resistance for Sediment: The smooth, hard, factory-applied finish is highly resistant to the abrasive wear caused by the sediment-heavy effluent and the continuous mechanical scraping often used in primary clarification or thickening processes.

Structural Integrity for Heavy Loads: Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, tanks offer certified structural strength. They are designed for durable storage, safely containing the immense weight and pressure exerted by high-density, high-solids starch slurry.

Optimal for Anaerobic Digestion : The tank's inherent gas-tight design and resistance to make it the ideal, durable storage vessel for reactors, which are commonly used to treat high-BOD starch waste and capture biogas.

Cost-Effective and Rapid Deployment: The modular design ensures quick construction, minimizing downtime and providing a cost-effective path to establish the necessary, durable storage capacity for large-scale starch processing plants.
