In the global push toward carbon neutrality in 2026, the efficiency of anaerobic digestion (AD) has become the primary metric for success in the bio-energy sector. As feedstock diversity increases—ranging from complex industrial effluents to high-solid agricultural residues—the traditional single-stage digestion process often faces a "hydrolysis bottleneck." To overcome this, sophisticated facilities are increasingly deploying specialized Bolted steel tanks as Biogas Preliminary Tanks. This strategic separation of the hydrolysis stage from methanogenesis not only stabilizes the entire system but also significantly boosts the net methane yield.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel), the premier China Biogas Preliminary Tanks manufacturer, provides the engineering foundation for these advanced hydrolysis systems. By combining the chemical resilience of Epoxy Coated Tanks with high-performance Aluminum Dome Roofs for preliminary liquid management and Double Membrane Roof systems for gas-active stages, we empower global operators to turn waste into a high-value energy asset. With a presence in more than 100 countries, Center Enamel is the definitive partner for engineering resilience into the renewable energy cycle.
Hydrolysis is the first and often the rate-limiting step of anaerobic digestion. In this phase, complex organic polymers (carbohydrates, proteins, and lipids) are broken down into soluble monomers.
Many organic waste streams contain complex lignocellulosic materials or high-protein solids that require extended time to break down. By utilizing dedicated Biogas Preliminary Tanks, operators can create a specialized environment—optimized for temperature and pH—where hydrolytic bacteria can work at their peak efficiency before the substrate enters the main digester.
Methanogens are highly sensitive to pH fluctuations and "shocks" in organic loading. A preliminary hydrolysis stage acts as a biological buffer, converting volatile fatty acids (VFAs) at a controlled rate. This ensures that the main Water Tanks used for methanogenesis remain stable, preventing the "souring" of the digester and maintaining consistent gas production.
Separating the stages allows for higher loading rates and shorter hydraulic retention times (HRT). This leads to a higher percentage of volatile solids destruction, resulting in more biogas and a more stable, pathogen-free digestate that is easier to manage.
The hydrolysis phase is notoriously aggressive, often operating at a lower, more acidic pH than the final digestion stage. Standard steel or concrete vessels can quickly succumb to corrosion. As a leading China Biogas Preliminary Tanks manufacturer, Center Enamel utilizes advanced Epoxy Coated Tanks to ensure structural longevity.
Our FBE process involves the electrostatic application of high-performance epoxy powder to preheated high-strength steel panels in a factory-controlled environment.
Superior Acid Resistance: The epoxy coating forms a dense, cross-linked polymer barrier that is molecularly fused to the steel. This shield is exceptionally resistant to the organic acids and humid $H_2S$ environments typical of Biogas Preliminary Tanks.
Zero-Defect Quality Control: Every panel used in our Bolted steel tanks undergoes high-voltage spark testing (typically between 1100V and 1500V) to ensure 100% coating continuity.
Smooth, Anti-Adhesion Surface: The non-porous finish prevents the buildup of "scum" and mineral scales (like struvite), ensuring that internal heating and mixing equipment remain effective and energy-efficient.
The success of a hydrolysis system depends on the total integrity of the containment. Center Enamel provides specialized roof solutions tailored to the specific gas and liquid management needs of the facility.
For Bolted steel tanks acting as balancing vessels or secondary storage, we utilize Aluminum Dome Roofs .
Self-Supporting Clear Span: The geodesic design provides massive strength without internal support columns, maximizing the internal volume for mixing.
UV and Algae Protection: These opaque domes block sunlight, preventing biological blooms and protecting the chemistry of the wastewater.
Corrosion-Free Performance: Aluminum’s natural oxide layer provides lifelong resistance to the humid headspace of a water tank, eliminating the need for painting or sandblasting.
For tanks where hydrolysis leads directly into gas collection, the Double Membrane Roof is the optimal choice.
Variable Gas Storage: The inner membrane acts as a flexible gas holder that expands and contracts with the gas volume, while the outer membrane provides a permanent weather shield.
Airtight Gas Security: This system ensures that all methane produced during the preliminary stages is captured and directed to the energy recovery system, maximizing the facility's ROI.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd is the global leader in modular bolted tank technology. Our status as a premier China Biogas Preliminary Tanks manufacturer is backed by international certifications and extensive project experience.
Our Water Tanks are designed and manufactured in strict accordance with AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, and NSF/ANSI 61. This ensures that every tank meets the highest global benchmarks for safety and environmental protection.
In the renewable energy sector, project speed is essential. Our bolted design allows for Bolted steel tanks to be shipped in standard containers and assembled on-site using specialized jacking systems. This eliminates the need for heavy cranes and on-site welding, reducing construction timelines and labor costs.
The performance of Center Enamel technology is proven through thousands of successful projects. We have selected the following non-fictitious cases to highlight our capability in these demanding sectors.
