.The Market Sectors

Fusion’s history of anaerobic digestion (AD) tanks exceeds 40years, and the Company’s experience has expandedconsiderably over the decades. Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanksare utilised for mesophilic digesters, thermophilic digesters,pasteurising digesters and enhanced enzymic hydrolysis (EEH)digesters amongst various other processes and applications.

In the industrial sector using anaerobic digestion to createbiogas is increasingly recognised as a valuable method toutilize waste streams to create renewable energy.

Almost any organic waste can be digested, opportunitieshave developed to utilise food processing waste, domesticwaste and restaurant waste. In addition to this, combinationsof waste streams can be processed incorporating municipalsludge effluent and farm waste such as animal slurry togenerate “green” energy.

Biogas produced can be cleaned and introduced directly intothe grid, or converted into electricity in combined heat andpower engines (CHP). This also gives the opportunity togenerate heat energy in the form of hot water.

At the end of the process the digested material can beconsidered for use as fertilizer, which increases the potentialrevenue streams.

Modular design allows the flexibility to accommodate variousaspect ratios, process pressures and temperatures to suit avariety of AD processes, designs and applications.

Glass-Fused-to-Steel is not only utilized for the tank walls butalso in the roofs on tanks such as digesters. This gives thehigh degree of protection of Glass-Fused-to-Steel throughouta digester, especially in the highly aggressive gaseous zone.

These roofs are structurally designed to allow for localenvironmental loading and can also support centrallymounted mixer systems.

Additionally, Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks can also be usedfor biogas storage by incorporation of double

membrane covers.

The combination of Fusion’s inert Glass-Fused-to-Steelfinishes, combined with the strength of steel and the flexibilityof modular construction give significant benefits over othertypes of digester structures. These include:
