Anaerobic digestion (AD) is a cornerstone of modern sustainability, transforming organic waste into clean energy and nutrient-rich digestate. At the heart of this process lies the Anaerobic Digestion Tank, a sealed vessel where microorganisms thrive. The successful operation of an entire AD facility, however, relies heavily on a robust and efficient gas management system. This is where Membrane Gas Holders become a critical component. They provide not just a simple cover, but a dynamic, low-pressure solution that manages the gas buffer, regulates pressure, and ensures the safety and efficiency of the entire system. As a leading China Membrane Gas Holders Manufacturer, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) is dedicated to providing these high-quality solutions, driving performance and reliability in AD plants worldwide.
With over 30 years of specialized expertise in providing advanced containment systems, Center Enamel has established itself as a global authority. Our reputation as a premier China Membrane Gas Holders Manufacturer is built on a deep understanding of the entire anaerobic digestion process, from waste collection to final energy output. The design of our Membrane Gas Holders is meticulously optimized to secure the contents of the Anaerobic Digestion Tank, providing a flexible and safe storage buffer that maximizes energy output and operational reliability. By integrating a seamless and intelligent storage solution, we offer a streamlined and highly cost-effective path toward a more sustainable and profitable future.
For any anaerobic digestion facility, gas production is rarely constant. It fluctuates based on feedstock composition, temperature, and other biological factors. This variability can create challenges for downstream processes, such as biogas generators or upgrading equipment, which require a stable and continuous gas flow to operate at peak efficiency.
Membrane Gas Holders are the indispensable link that solves this problem. They are strategically positioned as the roof of the Anaerobic Digestion Tank and are an integral part of the overall system. Their primary functions are to:
Regulate Pressure and Buffer Supply: They collect biogas during periods of high production and store it, then release it during low production. This ensures a consistent gas flow to the downstream equipment, preventing costly downtime and maximizing energy generation.
Provide an Ideal Cover Solution: The holder acts as a robust, gas-tight cover, completely sealing the Anaerobic Digestion Tank. This prevents the escape of valuable biogas and the release of unpleasant odors, which is crucial for environmental compliance and community relations.
Protect the Tank’s Integrity: The holder's design is engineered to manage internal gas pressure, preventing both over-pressurization and vacuum damage to the Anaerobic Digestion Tank. This ensures the long-term structural integrity of the entire system.
By providing this crucial buffer and protective cover, Membrane Gas Holders enable the entire AD system to run smoothly and efficiently, reducing operational costs and maximizing profitability.
At Center Enamel, our Membrane Gas Holders are engineered with a sophisticated, dual-membrane design that provides a superior solution for low-pressure gas management. This innovative design combines a cover and a storage unit, eliminating the need for separate high-pressure tanks and complex piping. The system is constructed from robust, gas-tight membrane material—a specialized PVC-coated polyester fabric—chosen for its exceptional durability and resistance to the corrosive gases and UV exposure found in biogas environments.
The key components of this dual-layer system are:
Inner Membrane: This flexible membrane forms the primary gas containment chamber and acts as the direct cover for the anaerobic digester. It is designed to expand and contract dynamically, buffering fluctuations in biogas production and preventing dangerous pressure buildups or vacuums.
Outer Membrane: This permanently inflated, dome-shaped external layer provides structural stability and protection. Maintained under a slight positive air pressure, it shields the inner membrane and the stored biogas from extreme weather conditions. The insulated air gap between the two membranes helps to maintain a stable gas temperature, which is vital for the optimal performance of the entire system.
This unique dual-membrane system guarantees absolute gas-tightness, effectively capturing all valuable biogas and mitigating fugitive methane emissions. It is a fundamental component for modern, high-performance anaerobic digestion facilities.
Our Membrane Gas Holders offer a range of significant benefits that make them an essential investment for any Anaerobic Digestion Tank system:
Enhanced Operational Safety: Operating at very low pressure, our holders are an inherently safer alternative to high-pressure gas storage. This design minimizes the risk of explosion and provides peace of mind for plant operators. The integrated pressure management within the dual membranes further enhances overall safety.
Thermal Regulation and Efficiency: The air layer between the membranes acts as an effective insulator. This thermal barrier helps maintain a stable temperature for the biogas, which is critical for the efficiency of the digestion process inside the Anaerobic Digestion Tank.
Simplified Installation and Cost Savings: Our membrane gas holders are lightweight and modular, allowing for quick and straightforward installation directly on top of new or existing tanks. This integrated approach significantly reduces the need for expensive external gas tanks and associated infrastructure, leading to lower capital and construction costs.
Superior Durability and Longevity: Fabricated from premium, corrosion-resistant, and UV-stabilized materials, our holders are built to last. They can endure the harsh internal environment of biogas production and the external pressures of weather, ensuring a long operational life with minimal maintenance.
Effective Emission and Odor Control: The hermetically sealed design prevents the release of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, and effectively contains unpleasant odors. This makes the plant more environmentally friendly and improves community relations.
Center Enamel's Membrane Gas Holders have been deployed as a critical component in numerous authentic projects, proving their reliability and effectiveness for a variety of Anaerobic Digestion Tank systems.
Henan Province Bioenergy Project, China:
Application: Our membrane gas holders were a fundamental component of this bioenergy project, which utilized animal waste as its primary feedstock. They were installed as both covers and storage vessels on the Anaerobic Digestion Tanks. The holders efficiently captured and stored the biogas, providing a consistent supply for the plant’s conversion into usable energy.
Project Case: A major bioenergy project in Henan province utilized several Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks with a total volume of 4,407m³. Our membrane gas holders were installed as the covers, enabling the tanks to effectively serve as a reliable platform for biogas production and storage.
Shandong Heze Biogas Project, China:
Application: At this municipal-scale facility, our membrane gas holders were essential for the plant’s biogas management. They were used to efficiently collect and store biogas from the anaerobic digestion of urban waste in the Anaerobic Digestion Tank systems. This low-pressure storage provided a critical buffer before the biogas was purified and compressed.
Project Case: A large biogas project in Heze, Shandong province, utilized 2 units of our holders with a combined volume of 15,266m³. They played a key role in managing biogas fluctuations and ensuring the plant could operate its upgrading equipment consistently and effectively.
