Understanding the Challenge of Animal Waste Storage

Animal waste storage tanks handle waste slurries, manure, and effluents from livestock farms, poultry operations, and processing plants. The liquid waste is chemically aggressive due to high ammonia, organic acids, and microbial activity, which can corrode and degrade conventional tank materials rapidly.

Storage requirements include:

• Corrosion Resistance: To handle acidic and alkaline compounds in animal waste.
• Leak Prevention: To protect groundwater and prevent environmental contamination.
• Structural Strength: To withstand large volumes and variable loading conditions.
• Gas Containment: To control emissions of methane, ammonia, and odors.
• Ease of Cleaning and Maintenance: For hygienic waste management.
• Longevity: Reducing replacement and downtime costs.

Conventional tanks made from concrete, carbon steel, or plastic often struggle to balance these factors effectively.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel Technology: The Center Enamel Advantage

Center Enamel’s GFS tanks utilize a proprietary double-sided glass enameling process where powdered glass is fused to steel panels at temperatures around 820°C to 930°C. This creates a smooth, corrosion-resistant, and wear-resistant coating that forms a chemically bonded barrier protecting the steel substrate.

Key benefits for animal waste storage include:

• Exceptional Corrosion Protection: The glass enamel resists acids, alkalis, solvents, and abrasive organic matter found in animal slurries.
• Impact and Abrasion Resistance: The hard, smooth surface withstands solids in the slurry, reducing wear.
• Leak-Proof, Bolted Modular Design: Panels are precision bolted with silicone seals ensuring tight containment, critical for odor and leak control.
• Easy Cleaning: Smooth surfaces prevent sludge buildup and facilitate hygienic management.
• Wide pH Range Compatibility: Standard coatings withstand pH 3-11; specialty coatings extend pH tolerance to 1-14.
• Long Service Life: Over 30 years with minimal maintenance, dramatically lowering life cycle costs.
• Customizable Appearance: Multiple color options including forest green, cobalt blue, desert tan, and more.
