BIOGAS STORAGE TANKS FOR FARM BIOGAS DIGESTER PROJECT

BIOGAS STORAGE TANKS FOR FARM BIOGAS DIGESTER PROJECT

Anaerobic Digestion is the process where plant and animal material is converted into useful products by micro-organisms in the absence of air. The useful product, biogas, can be designed to combust heat to warm buildings or hot water, to produce electricity. As the mixture within the anaerobic digester breaks down the spent material leaves the silo-like containers and enters a liquid separator where the plant materials are separated from any remaining liquid. The dried plant materials are used on the farm for cow bedding. The liquid material is sprayed on the fields and serves as a nutrient source to the soil, as would raw manure. To digest the waste, animal slurry and crops in a farm has become important of “green” renewable energy solution. So biogas storage tanks can be used to storage biogas from the anaerobic digestion. All biogas storage tanks are made of Glass-Fused-to-Steel which combines the strength and flexibility of steel and outstanding corrosion resistance of glass, so biogas storage tanks can provide many advantages over standard epoxy or weld painted storage tanks.

Our biogas storage solution is offering benefits to this growing sector:

1. Biogas storage Tank can be applied in both the liquid zone and the gaseous one, project costs will be reduced.

2. It will be better if work with a membrane roof for a biogas storage tank to meet the best airtightness requirement.

3. With its special coating design, Glass-Fused-to-Steel has high anti-corrosive properties for the whole sheet and even the edge, operation, and maintenance costs will be reduced, service life will be maximized.

4. The modular bolted structure allows rapid and cost-effective site installation and makes it easier to disassemble, rebuild or reposition the plant when needed.

5. Cooperate with the thermal insulation layer on the surface allows the tank to serve in a harsh cold area in the winter.

These two Farm Biogas Tanks with a combined capacity of 14,000m3 were installed for use at a Biogas Plant in South Arica in 2017.
