IC Bioreactor for Fermentation Wastewater Treatment Project

The fermentation industry is a cornerstone of modern manufacturing, producing everything from pharmaceuticals and biofuels to food additives and enzymes. However, this process generates a unique and challenging type of effluent: fermentation wastewater. Characterized by high organic loads, low pH, and complex compositions, this wastewater poses a significant threat to the environment if not treated properly. As a premier China IC Bioreactor manufacturer, Center Enamel is delivering a powerful and efficient solution for fermentation wastewater treatment projects that not only meets stringent discharge standards but also helps companies recover energy and reduce costs.

The Challenge of Fermentation Wastewater

Fermentation wastewater is particularly difficult to treat due to its variable composition and high concentration of pollutants. It typically contains high levels of Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) and Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), as well as suspended solids and nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. The presence of organic acids, alcohols, and complex organic compounds requires a robust and specialized treatment process. Traditional aerobic treatment systems often struggle with these high-strength loads, leading to large footprints, high energy consumption for aeration, and excessive sludge production.

The IC Bioreactor: A Revolutionary Approach

The IC Bioreactor is a next-generation anaerobic treatment system designed specifically for high-strength organic wastewater. Its "Internal Circulation" mechanism is the key to its exceptional performance. The reactor's tall, cylindrical design creates a two-stage anaerobic process within a single vessel. Wastewater enters at the bottom, and as it passes through the first stage, the highly active microbial sludge breaks down the bulk of the organic matter. The resulting biogas (methane and carbon dioxide) creates a natural gas-lift effect, which circulates the wastewater and sludge internally. This internal flow ensures excellent mixing and contact between the microorganisms and the pollutants.

This two-stage, internal circulation system provides several critical advantages:

High Organic Loading Rate (OLR): The IC Bioreactor can handle very high organic loads, making it ideal for the concentrated effluents from the fermentation industry.

Superior Treatment Efficiency: The internal circulation ensures a uniform distribution of microorganisms, leading to faster degradation rates and exceptionally high COD removal efficiency.

Process Stability: The system is highly resistant to shock loads and pH fluctuations, common in batch-based fermentation processes, ensuring consistent performance.

Reduced Footprint: The high OLR allows for a compact, space-saving design, which is a significant advantage for facilities with limited land.

Biogas Production and Energy Recovery: The IC Bioreactor efficiently converts organic pollutants into valuable biogas, which can be captured and used as a source of renewable energy for heating or electricity, reducing operational costs and improving energy self-sufficiency.

Our GFS Tanks: The Core of a Reliable Solution

At Center Enamel, our reputation as a leading China IC Bioreactor manufacturer is built on the quality and durability of our products. Our IC Bioreactors are constructed using our proprietary Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tank technology. GFS tanks are specifically designed to withstand the harsh, corrosive environments of industrial wastewater treatment.

The GFS manufacturing process involves fusing a silicate glass coating to a steel sheet at high temperatures (over 800°C). This creates an incredibly durable, inert, and corrosion-resistant surface that protects the steel from aggressive chemicals and acids present in fermentation wastewater. The tanks' modular, bolted construction allows for quick and efficient on-site assembly, minimizing construction time and labor costs. This design also makes them scalable and easy to expand in the future to accommodate a facility's growth.
