Balancing the Flow: Center Enamel's Bolted Steel Equalization Tanks for Optimized Water and Wastewater Treatment

In the intricate world of water and wastewater treatment, managing the flow is just as critical as managing the content. Industrial processes and municipal systems rarely produce a steady, uniform stream of water or waste. Instead, they are characterized by intermittent high-volume surges, fluctuating pollutant concentrations, and periods of low or no flow. Without a mechanism to absorb these shocks, downstream treatment processes can be overwhelmed, leading to system inefficiencies, compliance failures, and compromised treatment quality.

At Shijiazhuang Zhengzhong Technology Co., Ltd (Center Enamel), we specialize in providing the foundational infrastructure for these systems. Our advanced Bolted Steel Equalization Tanks are engineered precisely to address this challenge. By acting as a buffer, these tanks "equalize" the flow and concentration of influent water, ensuring a consistent and manageable stream for subsequent treatment stages. This simple yet critical function is a cornerstone of modern, efficient, and reliable water and wastewater management.

An equalization tank is a holding vessel designed to:

• Buffer Hydraulic Loads: It absorbs sudden, high-volume flows (hydraulic shocks) and releases the stored water at a controlled, steady rate, preventing downstream equipment from being overwhelmed.
• Stabilize Pollutant Concentration: It homogenizes the incoming water or waste, evening out spikes in pollutant levels (e.g., pH, BOD, COD). This allows the treatment system to operate more predictably and effectively.
• Optimize Downstream Processes: By providing a consistent feed, equalization tanks enable biological reactors, chemical dosing systems, and other equipment to operate at their peak efficiency.

The choice of tank material depends heavily on the specific characteristics of the water or waste being equalized:

• Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) Tanks: The ultimate choice for highly corrosive wastewater or processes with extreme pH swings.
• Fusion Bonded Epoxy (FBE) Coated Steel Tanks: An excellent high-value choice for general industrial or municipal wastewater equalization.
• Stainless Steel Tanks: The premium option for specialized applications requiring maximum purity and corrosion resistance.
• Galvanized Steel Tanks: A cost-effective solution for equalizing less aggressive streams.

Our commitment to excellence is reflected in our adherence to international standards including AWWA D103-09, ISO 28765, and ISO 9001. As the most experienced bolted tanks manufacturer in Asia and a global supplier to over 100 countries, we bring a legacy of innovation to every project.
