Slide Content
Fusion Bonded Epoxy Tanks for Dairy
Wastewater Treatment: Resisting Fats, Acids,
and Caustic CIP Chemicals
Dairy wastewater treatment in industrial settings—including
processing plants for milk, cheese, and yogurt—is uniquely challenging.
The effluent combines high organic loading (BOD/COD) from residual
milk solids with aggressive swings caused by both organic acid
fermentation and caustic cleaning-in-place (CIP) agents. Effective
containment must be structurally sound and chemically resilient enough
to withstand this constant exposure to fats, acids, and caustic CIP
chemicals. This volatile environment quickly compromises traditional
materials. The Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Tank offers the necessary
robust defense. At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center
Enamel), we utilize FBE bolted steel technology to deliver durable,
chemically inert vessels that are the foundation for compliant and
efficient dairy wastewater treatment.
The Corrosive and Complex Nature of Dairy Effluent
Containment vessels in dairy wastewater treatment facilities face
continuous, severe operational stresses:
Extreme Fluctuation: The wastewater is volatile. Residual milk solids
rapidly ferment, producing lactic acid and other organic acids (low ).
Conversely, frequent wash-downs utilize highly concentrated caustic
(alkaline) or acidic CIP chemicals (high ). The tank lining must
withstand this continuous, massive cycling.
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) Content: Dairy effluent is high in FOG,
which can adhere to tank walls, inhibit biological processes, and
complicate cleaning. The containment material must have a smooth, non-
porous surface that discourages FOG adhesion.
High Organic Load (BOD/COD): Milk and dairy byproducts have an
exceptionally high and . This high organic concentration requires
large equalization volumes and robust biological reactors, demanding
both chemical resistance and superior structural strength.
Abrasive Solids: While mostly liquid, the waste stream still contains
suspended solids and feed residues, requiring a durable surface that
resists abrasive wear, particularly in primary collection and pre-treatment
stages.
A reliable system demands a material capable of resisting fats, acids,
and caustic CIP chemicals without structural or surface degradation.
The FBE Solution: Resisting Fats, Acids, and Caustic CIP
Chemicals
Center Enamel’s Fusion Bonded Epoxy Bolted Steel Tanks are engineered
for dairy wastewater treatment, providing the definitive containment
solution:
Resistance to Extremes and CIP Chemicals: The FBE coating is a
dense, chemically inert polymer molecularly bonded to the steel. This
high-performance barrier provides outstanding protection against both
the acidic environment created by fermentation and the alkaline/caustic
environment created by daily CIP chemicals.
Non-Porous Surface for FOG Management: The smooth, factory-
applied FBE finish is non-porous, minimizing the adhesion of fats, oils,
and grease. This makes the tanks easier to clean, reduces maintenance
time, and prevents FOG buildup that could compromise tank integrity or
process efficiency.
Structural Integrity for Equalization and Reactors: Constructed from
high-tensile, factory-engineered steel, FBE tanks offer the superior
structural strength required for large equalization basins and
anaerobic/aerobic reactors that manage immense hydraulic loads and
mechanical stresses.
Inertness for Biological Processes: The FBE lining is chemically inert,
ensuring that no compounds leach into the wastewater that could inhibit
the sensitive microbial populations essential for breaking down the high
organic load.
Rapid and Quality-Controlled Deployment: The modular, bolted design
allows for fast, predictable construction. This is vital for industrial
facilities where time-to-operation is critical, ensuring the quick
deployment of a reliable, robust asset.
Product Industry Application: FBE Tanks in Dairy Wastewater
Infrastructure
The resilience and chemical inertness of FBE tanks make them ideal for
multiple, high-demand stages in dairy wastewater treatment:
Equalization Basins: Crucial for stabilizing the highly fluctuating and
flow from the production facility, where the FBE lining's broad chemical
resistance is essential.
Fat/Grease Removal and DAF Tanks: Providing robust containment for
pre-treatment stages where FOG is concentrated, relying on the smooth
surface and structural strength.
Anaerobic/Aerobic Reactors: Serving as the main reactor vessels for
biological degradation of the high-BOD effluent, resisting corrosive
byproducts and supporting internal mixing equipment.
Sludge Holding Tanks: Used for the long-term, secure containment of
concentrated dairy sludge, which is dense and retains residual
corrosivity.
