- 1. Highly Corrosion Resistant GLS Tanks as Biogas Digester Tanks In the quest for sustainable energy sources, biogas has emerged as a frontrunner, providing an eco-friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. Biogas digester tanks play a pivotal role in this process, serving as the core infrastructure for anaerobic digestion. Among the various types of tanks available, Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GLS) tanks have gained significant attention for their exceptional corrosion resistance, durability, and long-term cost-effectiveness. The GFS tank is assembled on-site using specialized enamel steel plates, reinforcing bars, self-locking bolts, sealing glue, and other components. The steel plate raw material is made from a titanium alloy enamel hot-rolled plate developed in collaboration with domestic first-tier steel companies, and it is shaped using fast and low-consumption on-site assembly technology. After the enamel steel plate undergoes high-temperature enameling at 820°-930°, the enamel fuses with the surface of the steel plate, forming a solid inorganic coating with excellent corrosion resistance due to its chemical inertness. The enamel process is currently an advanced coating and anti-corrosion technology in the steel tank market.

The parameters of the GFS tanks Category Specification Coating Color Black blue, Grey olive, Forest green, Cobalt blue, Desert tan etc. Coating thickness 0.25-0.45mm Acid and alkalinity proof Standard PH: 3~11, Special PH:1~14 Adhesion 3450N/cm² Hardness 6.0 (Mohs) Service life ≥30 Years Holiday test >1500V Permeability Gas liquid impermeable Easy to clean Smooth, glossy, inert, anti-adhesion Corrosion resistance Excellent, suitable for harsh environment Advantages of GLS tanks Corrosion Resistance: The primary challenge in biogas digester tanks is corrosion, a natural process that can significantly impact the structural integrity and lifespan of conventional tanks. GLS tanks, however, offer a revolutionary solution. The fusion of glass to steel creates a highly corrosion-resistant barrier, protecting the tank from the harsh environment within and external elements. This corrosion resistance is especially crucial in the aggressive conditions of anaerobic digestion, where acidic by-products can accelerate the deterioration of traditional materials. Longevity and Durability: GLS tanks are renowned for their durability, ensuring a long and maintenance-free service life. The fusion of glass with steel creates a barrier that is immune to rust, corrosion, and erosion, even under constant exposure to corrosive substances present in the biogas production process. This exceptional longevity not only reduces the frequency of repairs and maintenance but also minimizes downtime, ensuring a reliable and efficient biogas production system. Cost-Effectiveness: While the initial investment in GLS tanks may be higher compared to traditional alternatives, the long-term cost-effectiveness is a compelling factor. The extended lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements contribute to a lower total cost of ownership over the life of the tank. This makes GLS tanks a smart investment for biogas producers looking for sustainable, reliable, and economically viable solutions. Easy Installation and Customization:

Installation Steps for GLS tanks The installation process of GLS tanks can be divided into stages including site preparation, assembling enamel steel plates, and erecting the tank. Below are detailed installation steps: The installation process of GLS tanks involves several key steps. Here is a detailed breakdown of the installation process based on the provided content: Step One: Clean and prepare the installation site, ensuring a flat and clean surface for optimal construction conditions. Step Two: Construct a sturdy foundation using sand or gravel, laying a concrete ring wall or a full concrete slab to ensure a stable base. Step Three: Begin assembling the GLS tank's panels layer by layer, starting from the bottom of the structure. Start from the bottom, following the design drawings or installation guidelines, and install each panel of the GLS tank layer by layer. Step Four: Ensure the steel plates are clean and dry during adhesive application; replace bolts and nuts if any are loose. During the installation process, ensure that the bolts and nuts used during adhesive application are in good condition. Ensure the steel plate surface is clean and dry to ensure proper adhesion of the adhesive. Step Five: After completing the assembly of the bottom layer, secure it to the foundation using reinforcing bars. Once all the panels of the bottom layer are installed, use reinforcing bars or other securing devices to firmly connect the bottom layer to the foundation to increase overall stability. Step Six: Assemble the second layer and connect it to the bottom layer using lifting equipment. Continue assembling the next layer of the GLS tank, ensuring a tight connection with the bottom layer. Use lifting equipment, such as a lifting machine, to connect the newly assembled layer to the already installed bottom layer.

Install wind-resistant beams or support structures at the connection points of adjacent layers to increase the overall stability of the tank, especially when facing external forces such as wind. Step Eight: Add accessories such as valves, doors, or manhole covers at appropriate locations as needed. Based on specific requirements and design specifications, add accessories such as valves, doors, or manhole covers at suitable positions to meet the functional and usage requirements of the GLS tank. Step Nine: Finally, install the tank top. After installing all the panels, install the tank top to ensure the tank's sealing and integrity.
