Glass Fused-to-Steel Bolted tanks for BIOGAS and anaerobic digestors

UIG’s EVERSTORE® glass-fused-to-steel tanks are the optimal solution for anaerobic digester applications, supporting various processes such as mesophilic, thermophilic, pasteurizing, or enzymatic hydrolysis. With EVERSTORE® and EVERSTORE® Hybrid tanks, we lead the industry in anaerobic digestion and biogas production for renewable energy applications.

For biogas storage, we offer two types of roofs: Single Membrane Roofs and Glass Fused-to-Steel Roofs. Both options are airtight, providing ideal conditions for secure and efficient biogas storage.

UIG Bolted Storage Tanks offer a versatile, durable, and cost-effective solution for anaerobic digestion systems. Their modularity, ease of installation, and low maintenance make them an attractive choice for facilities looking to optimize their operations. As the demand for sustainable waste management and renewable energy solutions grows, bolted storage tanks will likely play an increasingly vital role in the efficient and effective operation of anaerobic digestion systems.

Advantages of Bolted Storage Tanks

Durability and Strength

Bolted storage tanks are constructed using high-quality steel panels, which are coated for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. This makes them well-suited for the harsh environments typical in anaerobic digestion systems, where exposure to organic acids and varying temperatures is common.

Flexibility and Modularity

One of the standout features of bolted storage tanks is their modularity. These tanks can be easily expanded or reconfigured by adding or removing panels. This flexibility allows facilities to scale their operations in response to changing capacities and demands without requiring extensive construction work.

Quick Installation

Compared to welded tanks, bolted storage tanks are faster and easier to install. The pre-fabricated panels are shipped to the site and assembled using bolted connections. This reduces on-site construction time and labor costs, enabling quicker commissioning of AD systems.

Cost-Effectiveness

The modular nature and ease of installation of bolted storage tanks contribute to their cost-effectiveness. Reduced installation time translates to lower labor costs, and the ability to modify the tank’s capacity without significant downtime or expense further enhances their economic appeal.

Maintenance and Repair

Maintenance and repair of bolted storage tanks are straightforward. Individual panels can be easily replaced if damaged, minimizing downtime and ensuring the continuous operation of the AD system. Additionally, the glass fused-to-steel panels provide long-term protection against corrosion, reducing the frequency and cost of maintenance and eliminating the need for painting.

EVERSTORE® GLASS FUSED-TO-STEEL TANKS FOR THE FARM

On-farm digesters provide significant benefits to farmers and their communities. They help manage nutrients, reduce odors, and generate additional revenue.

Digesters are primarily used on dairy, swine, and poultry farms, but they can also process outside food waste as feedstock.

The most common digester technologies used on farms in the USA are plug flow, complete mix, and covered lagoons.

The type of digester chosen depends on existing manure management practices and the type of animal manure being processed. The biogas produced from anaerobic digesters is often utilized to generate electricity, fuel boilers or furnaces, or provide combined heat and power.

The most advanced digester storage system is the EVERSTORE® GFS by United Industries Group, which features glass fused to steel technology. Additionally, we offer a hybrid system with a concrete foundation, a 316SS upper ring, and a self-supported roof.
