Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Cheese Wastewater Treatment: Provides reliable, corrosion-resistant containment for dairy effluent.

Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tank for Cheese Wastewater Treatment: Provides reliable, corrosion-resistant containment for dairy effluent.

Cheese wastewater treatment presents unique challenges due to the high strength and specific chemical profile of dairy effluent. This wastewater is characterized by an extremely high organic load (high ) from lactose, proteins, and fats, and often exhibits significant acidity due to whey residue. Containment must be reliable and corrosion-resistant to manage these aggressive organic acids and ensure continuous compliance. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank is engineered to master this environment, providing reliable, corrosion-resistant containment for dairy effluent throughout the treatment process.

The Specific Demands of Dairy Effluent

Containment infrastructure for cheese wastewater must be designed for a highly aggressive and concentrated liquid environment:

Intense Organic Acidity: Whey, the primary component of dairy effluent, is rich in lactose that quickly ferments into lactic acid. This results in a persistent, low- environment that is highly corrosive to unprotected metal and concrete. The tank requires corrosion-resistant containment that can withstand continuous acid attack.

High Organic Load and Solids: The wastewater contains high concentrations of fats, oils, grease (), and dissolved proteins. This makes the effluent dense, structurally demanding, and difficult to treat, necessitating a reliable vessel capable of handling immense hydrostatic loads.

Hygiene and Cleanliness: As the waste originates from food processing, the tank surface must be non-porous and hygienic to prevent bacterial growth and simplify the removal of sticky, high- residues, ensuring reliable long-term operation.

Volume Fluctuations: Dairy operations, particularly batch cheese production, lead to wide fluctuations in flow and concentration, requiring structurally reliable equalization and treatment basins that can absorb chemical and hydraulic shocks.

A successful system requires reliable, corrosion-resistant containment to manage the aggressive organic acids and high loads of dairy effluent.

The FBE Solution: Reliable and Corrosion-Resistant for Dairy Effluent

Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are engineered to provide the definitive solution for cheese wastewater treatment:

Permanent Acid Resistance (Corrosion-Resistant): The FBE coating is a dense, high-performance, thermoset polymer molecularly bonded to the steel. This permanent barrier provides exceptional corrosion resistance against the lactic and volatile fatty acids found in dairy effluent, guaranteeing the long-term chemical integrity of the vessel.

Structural Integrity (Reliable): Constructed from high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, FBE tanks offer the superior structural strength required for large volume storage and for supporting heavy-duty mixers and scrapers used to manage dense, high- dairy effluent.

Hygienic and Non-Stick Surface: The smooth, non-porous FBE finish is inherently hygienic and resistant to the adherence of sticky dairy effluent residues, simplifying cleaning and maintaining reliable flow characteristics.

Ideal for Biological Treatment: FBE tanks are often used as anaerobic reactors for high-load dairy waste. Their gas-tight design and resistance ensure reliable biogas capture and process efficiency.

Rapid, Cost-Effective Deployment: The modular, bolt-together design minimizes construction time and site disruption, providing a reliable and cost-effective method for rapidly establishing or expanding treatment capacity in dairy facilities.
