Glass-Lined Steel Tanks as UASB Reactors: Reliable Solutions for Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment
As a global leader in the design and manufacturing of bolted storage tanks, Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel) offers high-quality Glass-Lined Steel Tanks specifically designed to function as UASB (Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket) reactors. These tanks are engineered to optimize anaerobic digestion processes, making them an ideal solution for wastewater treatment across industries.
What is a UASB Reactor?
A UASB reactor is an anaerobic treatment system that processes wastewater by leveraging the natural digestion activity of microorganisms. The upflow design promotes efficient contact between wastewater and sludge, generating biogas as a byproduct. UASB reactors are widely used for industrial and municipal wastewater treatment due to their low operational costs and energy efficiency.
As a leading storage tank manufacturer worldwide. Center Enamel can provide Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, fusion bonded epoxy tanks, stainless steel tanks, galvanized steel tanks and aluminum geodesic dome roofs, Wastewater and Biogas Project Equipments for global customers.

The glass-fused coating creates a chemically inert surface, protecting the tank from acidic and abrasive wastewater.
Leak-Proof and Gas-Tight Design
High-quality sealing systems ensure gas-tight operation, preventing biogas leaks and maximizing energy recovery.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Designed for a lifespan exceeding 30 years, withstanding the challenging conditions of anaerobic digestion.
Customizable Configurations
Available in various sizes and capacities, ranging from 20m³ to 25,000m³, to meet project-specific needs.
Fast Installation and Assembly
The bolted design enables rapid on-site assembly, significantly reducing installation time and costs.
Eco-Friendly Construction
Made from recyclable materials, supporting sustainability in wastewater treatment projects.
