What Is a Hydrolysis Tank?

Hydrolysis tanks are essential components in biological waste treatment systems, particularly in anaerobic digestion processes. They facilitate the first step of organic matter biodegradation — hydrolysis — wherein complex organic polymers like carbohydrates, fats, and proteins are broken down into simpler soluble compounds by enzymatic action.

This step is crucial as it prepares the organic material for subsequent microbial digestion stages, ultimately enhancing the production of biogas (methane) and reducing the volume and environmental hazards of organic waste.

Why Stainless Steel for Hydrolysis Tanks?

Hydrolysis tanks operate in harsh chemical and biological environments. Therefore, selecting a material with outstanding durability and resistance is vital. Center Enamel’s choice of stainless steel as the core tank material offers several advantages:

Superior Corrosion Resistance

Hydrolysis involves acidic by-products that can corrode conventional materials such as carbon steel or concrete. Stainless steel alloys like SUS304 or SUS316L, selected by Center Enamel, resist chemical attack effectively, ensuring prolonged tank life.

Hygienic, Easy-to-Clean Surfaces

Smooth internal surfaces resist biofilm formation and facilitate cleaning, ensuring sterile conditions that optimize microbial performance.

Mechanical Strength and Structural Integrity

Stainless steel withstands temperature fluctuations, pressure variations, and external stresses while maintaining its shape and safety margin.

Lightweight and Flexible Design

Compared to concrete or other metal tanks, stainless steel tanks are lighter, easing transportation and installation.

Environmental Sustainability

Stainless steel is fully recyclable and eco-friendly, aligning with green manufacturing principles and reducing waste footprint.
