The efficient management of biogas is a central challenge for any modern anaerobic digestion facility. For large-scale Biogas Digesters, which process significant volumes of organic waste, a robust and integrated cover and gas storage solution is not just beneficial—it is essential. The Top-Mounted Gasholder offers a highly effective, space-saving solution by combining the functions of a tank roof and a gas storage unit into a single, cohesive system. This integrated design streamlines operations and optimizes performance for large-scale facilities. As a premier China Top-Mounted Gasholders Manufacturer, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd. (Center Enamel) is at the forefront of providing these advanced solutions, driving the efficiency and profitability of biogas projects worldwide.
With over 30 years of specialized expertise in providing advanced containment systems, Center Enamel has established itself as a trusted global authority. Our reputation as a leading China Top-Mounted Gasholders Manufacturer is built on a deep understanding of the unique demands of large-scale Biogas Digesters. Our gasholders are meticulously engineered to secure the integrity of the stored biogas and provide a dynamic, safe storage buffer that maximizes energy output and operational reliability. By integrating a seamless and intelligent storage solution directly onto the digester tanks, we offer a streamlined and highly cost-effective path toward a more sustainable and prosperous future.
A Top-Mounted Gasholder is a sophisticated, low-pressure system engineered to serve as both the cover and the integrated gas holder for large-scale Biogas Digesters. This design is particularly advantageous for facilities where space is at a premium or where a simplified, all-in-one solution is preferred. The gasholder is securely anchored to the top flange of the digester tank, creating a single, hermetically sealed unit.
The system is constructed from high-strength, 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 core of this system is its dual-membrane structure:
Inner Membrane: This flexible membrane forms the primary gas containment chamber, resting directly on the contents of the digester. It is designed to expand and contract dynamically, buffering fluctuations in biogas production and preventing dangerous pressure buildups or vacuums within the tank.
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, including high winds, rain, and snow. 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 innovative, integrated design guarantees absolute gas-tightness, effectively capturing all valuable biogas and mitigating fugitive methane emissions.
Our Top-Mounted Gasholders offer a range of significant benefits that make them an essential investment for any facility with large-scale Biogas Digesters:
Space and Cost Efficiency: By combining the functions of a cover and a gas holder into a single unit, this solution eliminates the need for a separate, expensive, and space-consuming stand-alone gasholder. This is a crucial advantage for projects with limited land availability and significantly reduces overall capital expenditure.
Enhanced Operational Safety: Operating at very low pressure, our gasholders 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.
Superior Thermal Insulation: The air layer between the membranes acts as an effective insulator. This thermal barrier helps maintain a stable, warm temperature within the large-scale Biogas Digesters, which is essential for maximizing the efficiency and yield of the anaerobic digestion process, especially in colder climates.
Simplified Installation and Maintenance: Our gasholders are lightweight and modular, allowing for quick and straightforward installation directly onto the digester tanks. This integrated approach simplifies project logistics and reduces long-term maintenance needs, as there are fewer external components to inspect and service.
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, which is particularly important for large-scale facilities located near residential or commercial areas.
Center Enamel's Top-Mounted Gasholders have been deployed as a critical component in numerous authentic projects, proving their reliability and effectiveness for a variety of large-scale Biogas Digesters.
Inner Mongolia Bio-Natural Gas Project, China:
Application: Our top-mounted gasholders were an integral part of this large-scale bio-natural gas plant. They served as the primary storage and collection point for biogas produced from animal waste, installed directly on the digester tanks. This low-pressure buffer was essential for ensuring a stable and continuous feedstock for the plant’s upgrading and compression systems, which processed the gas into sellable biomethane.
Project Case: This bio-natural gas project in Inner Mongolia utilized 4 units of our top-mounted gasholders, providing a total storage volume of 16,760m³. This extensive capacity was vital for managing the variable biogas production and optimizing the plant’s conversion of biogas into high-value fuel.
Henan Province Bioenergy Project, China:
Application: Our top-mounted gasholders were integrated into this bioenergy project, which utilized animal waste as its primary feedstock. They were installed as both covers and storage vessels on the large-scale Biogas Digesters. The gasholders 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 top-mounted gasholders were installed as the integrated covers, enabling the tanks to effectively serve as a reliable platform for biogas production and storage in a single, compact unit.
Shandong Heze Biogas Project, China:
Application: At this municipal-scale facility, our top-mounted gasholders were a fundamental component for the plant’s gas management. They were used to efficiently collect and store biogas from the anaerobic digestion of urban waste in the large-scale Biogas Digesters. This integrated storage provided a critical buffer before the biogas was purified and compressed, a prerequisite for its potential use in a biomethane plant.
Project Case: A large biogas project in Heze, Shandong province, utilized 2 units of our top-mounted gasholders 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.
