Double Membrane Biogas Holder for a Food Processing Plant: Stores Biogas Generated from Treating Food Waste and Effluent

Double Membrane Biogas Holder for a Food Processing Plant: Stores Biogas Generated from Treating Food Waste and Effluent

A Food Processing Plant generates significant volumes of highly organic waste, including discarded food materials, wash water, and high-strength food waste and effluent. Managing this waste sustainably and cost-effectively is essential. Anaerobic digestion (AD) is the primary method used to stabilize this organic load and, crucially, generates methane-rich biogas. For the plant to maximize energy recovery and minimize disposal costs, the biogas must be reliably and securely stored. This requires a solution that is durable, flexible, and specifically designed to handle the gas generated from treating food processing organic wastes.

The Double Membrane Biogas Holder is the optimal technology for this specialized industrial application. It stores biogas generated from treating food waste and effluent. Installed either as an integrated flexible roof on the digester or as a compact, free-standing unit , this holder provides a dynamic, hermetic reservoir. This system ensures every cubic meter of gas is captured, pressure fluctuations are safely managed, and a stable, continuous supply is maintained for downstream utilization (e.g., boilers or CHP units), turning a waste liability into a core energy asset for the food processing facility.

Product Advantages for Food Processing Biogas Management

Center Enamel’s Double Membrane Biogas Holders are meticulously engineered to handle the substantial gas output and fluctuating volumes typical of high-load food waste digestion processes, maximizing efficiency and safety.

Flexible and Dynamic Gas Reserve

The inherent variability of food processing schedules (batch production, seasonal changes) means biogas flow is rarely constant. The balloon's design provides a flexible and dynamic gas reserve capacity that can dynamically expand and contract to accommodate the natural volume fluctuations in biogas production. This dynamic buffering is essential for regulating the low pressure of the gas, preventing system instability, and ensuring a smooth, constant flow to utilization equipment. This stability is critical for continuous industrial operation, maximizing the energy offset from waste.

Reliable Energy Offset and Cost Savings

The high energy content of biogas generated from food waste allows for significant internal energy offset, which is crucial for the energy-intensive operations of a food processing plant (heating, sterilization, refrigeration). The holder ensures a stable and regulated low-pressure supply of gas to the plant's utilization equipment, reducing reliance on external, costly energy sources and significantly lowering operational costs.

Support for Aluminum Dome Roofs

Where maximum corrosion resistance and structural longevity are prioritized for the digester tanks—especially important when dealing with corrosive food waste—the Double Membrane Holder can be integrated with a tank protected by an Aluminum Dome Roof . While the membrane system provides the essential flexible gas-tight envelope, the aluminum dome offers superior long-term corrosion protection and structural support for the entire digester tank structure, enhancing overall system durability.
