What is the maximum volume of an anaerobic tank, and what is a suitable size?
Thread Content
Hello, everyone! I have a question: We have a small alcohol production plant, and the wastewater from the distillation process is treated in anaerobic tanks, generating biogas that is used to power the boilers. We have two primary anaerobic tanks with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters each, and one secondary anaerobic tank with a capacity of 1,500 cubic meters. Now, we are planning to build a larger factory, and we want to handle the design of the anaerobic tank area ourselves, rather than having a design firm do it, in order to save some money. Based on the production load calculations, if 3,000-cubic-meter anaerobic tanks are used, Phase 1 will require 4 such tanks, while Phase 2 will need 8 3,000-cubic-meter anaerobic tanks. In that case, we would like to build several large-volume primary anaerobic tanks. But I’m not sure what size would be appropriate? ? If the tank is too large, won’t various unevennesses occur, thereby reducing overall efficiency? ? Everyone, please give some advice!
No one answers the questions or provides guidance; no one pays attention to this post! :L:L
The assembled tank can have a capacity of 5,000 cubic meters; 5,500 cubic meters is also possible. The welding tank can be larger; 6000 welding pipes are no problem. The larger the tank, the more money you’ll save overall. You can message me for a detailed discussion; I work in biogas engineering design. The company can provide EPC
