The global citrus industry—spanning the production of orange juice, lemon extracts, and essential oils—is a pillar of the international food and beverage sector. However, the transformation of fresh fruit into consumer products is a water-intensive process that generates a specialized and aggressive effluent stream. A high-performance Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank is a critical asset for any facility, designed to handle high organic loads and fluctuating acidity while protecting the surrounding environment.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel), a premier China Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank manufacturer, provides the engineering excellence required to manage these complex waste streams. By combining our specialized Epoxy Coated Tanks with versatile Aluminum Dome Roofs, we deliver containment solutions that ensure structural longevity and operational safety. With a global footprint in more than 100 countries, Center Enamel is the trusted partner for citrus processors seeking advanced Water Tanks for sustainable waste management.
Citrus wastewater is uniquely challenging due to its high concentration of organic acids, sugars, and essential oils. Designing a reliable Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank requires addressing several specific chemical and biological stressors.
Citrus juices are naturally acidic, and the wastewater generated from fruit washing and juice extraction often has a very low pH. Furthermore, cleaning-in-place (CIP) operations use caustic soda and acidic disinfectants to maintain factory hygiene. These cycles cause the liquid in Water Tanks to swing between extreme acidity and alkalinity, a process that can rapidly degrade concrete or standard steel linings.
Citrus waste is rich in pectin, a complex carbohydrate that can encapsulate microbial strains and inhibit traditional biological treatment. The decomposition of sugars and pectin leads to exceptionally high Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) levels. In the enclosed environment of a Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank, this organic activity produces corrosive gases and high concentrations of organic acids that attack the tank walls at the liquid-air interface.
Essential oils like d-limonene are extracted during processing. While valuable as by-products, residual oils in the wastewater can be inhibitory to the bacteria used in biological treatment plants. The internal coating of the tank must be chemically resistant to these oils and prevent them from penetrating the substrate.
As a leading China Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank manufacturer, Center Enamel utilizes Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) technology to create a superior barrier against citrus-related corrosion. Our Epoxy Coated Tanks are manufactured in a controlled factory environment to ensure the highest quality finish.
The FBE process involves electrostatically applying epoxy powder to preheated steel panels. The powder melts and molecularly fuses with the steel, creating a dense, cross-linked polymer layer.
Unmatched Chemical Resistance: The FBE coating is inert to the citric acids and essential oils found in citrus waste. It provides a long-term solution that outperforms traditional site-applied paints and prevents the pitting corrosion common in untreated metal Water Tanks.
Superior Physical Durability: The bond between the epoxy and the steel is so strong that it resists chipping and scratching during the heavy-duty mixing often required to prevent pectin settlement.
Smooth, Non-Porous Surface: The finish prevents organic matter and pectin from adhering to the walls, reducing the risk of bacterial harboring and making the tank significantly easier to clean than porous concrete.
To ensure total containment and manage the corrosive vapors produced by citrus waste, Center Enamel integrates Aluminum Dome Roofs (铝穹顶盖) into our Water Tanks.
Odor and Vapor Control: Citrus fermentation can produce strong, unpleasant odors. Our Aluminum Dome Roofs provide an airtight seal that contains these emissions, helping facilities remain compliant with local environmental regulations.
Corrosion Immunity: The air above citrus wastewater is highly humid and acidic. Aluminum naturally resists these vapors, ensuring the roof remains structurally sound without the need for periodic repainting or anti-corrosion treatments.
Clear-Span Engineering: The geodesic design allows for wide-diameter Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank units without internal support columns. This is critical for tanks utilizing top-entry mixers or aeration equipment to break down high-COD effluent.
Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd stands as the most professional bolted tank supplier in Asia. Our status as a premier China Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank manufacturer is built on precision and global experience.
Our Water Tanks are produced on automated production lines to ensure exact tolerances. Every panel of our Epoxy Coated Tanks undergoes high-voltage spark testing to ensure there are no microscopic defects, providing a leak-proof solution for processors in more than 100 countries.
Industrial projects are often time-sensitive. Our modular, bolted design allows for rapid assembly. The components are shipped in standard containers and can be assembled using specialized jacking systems, significantly reducing the construction timeline compared to traditional concrete tanks.
The durability of our technology is proven across a wide range of organic and industrial waste projects. We select the most relevant cases from our verified list to demonstrate our capability.
In the industrial wastewater sector, the Hebei Cangzhou Industrial Wastewater Project involved the installation of 13 units of tanks. This large-scale deployment demonstrates our capacity to provide comprehensive containment networks that handle diverse and high-volume waste streams, ensuring consistent quality for major industrial hubs.
Demonstrating our expertise in high-load organic waste management, the Mengniu Group Heilongjiang Dairy Product Wastewater Treatment Project utilized 1 unit of tank. Dairy wastewater shares similar organic and chemical challenges with citrus waste; the successful application of our Water Tanks in this sector highlights the chemical resilience of our Epoxy Coated Tanks.
The Muyuan Group Suining 4 Farms Breeding Wastewater Project utilized 2 units of tanks. Managing massive volumes of breeding waste requires tanks that can withstand high organic loading and corrosive gases—the same qualities essential for a high-performance Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank.
Modern citrus processing is moving toward a circular economy model. Our Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank systems are designed to support this transition.
Anaerobic Digestion: By providing gas-tight tanks and Aluminum Dome Roofs, we enable factories to convert organic waste into biogas, providing a renewable energy source for plant operations.
By-Product Recovery: Secure storage allows for the efficient separation and recovery of oils and pectin, turning waste into value-added products.
Water Recycling: Treated effluent from our Water Tanks can be recycled for fruit washing or irrigation, significantly reducing the facility's fresh water footprint.
As the global demand for citrus products grows, the industry must adopt waste management solutions that are as resilient as they are efficient. A high-performance Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank is the foundation of a modern processing facility.
As the leading China Citrus Processing Wastewater Tank manufacturer, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) is dedicated to providing the global market with the most advanced containment solutions. Our combination of high-durability Epoxy Coated Tanks and structurally superior Aluminum Dome Roofs ensures that your wastewater project will deliver consistent performance for decades.
