BIOGAS – REACTOR TANKS FOR STABLE BIOGAS PRODUCTION
Reactor tanks built for reliable biogas plants
Steel Tank develops and delivers welded reactor tanks and complete tank systems for new biogas plants and capacity expansions.
Each solution is designed around the plant’s process, required capacity and operating conditions.
Reactor tanks for reliable biogas production
Biogas plays an important role in the energy system of the future.
This places high demands on the plants that convert organic material into renewable gas – and on the tank systems supporting the process.
The reactor tank performs a central function within a biogas plant. It must provide the conditions required for the correct residence time, temperature, mixing and stable production over many years of operation.
Steel Tank delivers welded steel reactor tanks and complete tank systems for biogas plants.
We help define the requirements, develop the technical solution and manage the project from engineering and manufacturing through to installation, commissioning and subsequent maintenance.

The reactor tank is central to plant performance
A reactor tank is more than a vessel for organic material. It is an integral part of the biological process and must support the conditions required for the plant to perform reliably.
Residence time, temperature, mixing, liquid level and integration with process equipment must work together to create stable operating conditions.
At the same time, the structure must withstand the loads associated with continuous operation over many years.
Material selection, welding quality, structural design and technical documentation are therefore central to the solution. Steel Tank considers all of these factors throughout the project.
Designed around the process and operating requirements
Biomass throughput, residence time, capacity and process requirements are key parameters when designing a reactor tank.
The interaction between these factors affects plant operation, capacity utilisation and overall performance.
Correct sizing provides a stronger basis for stable production, efficient use of the plant’s capacity and sound operating economics.
Steel Tank begins with the role the reactor tank must perform within the plant. This ensures that its dimensions, structure and technical design support the overall biogas process.
The result is a tank solution aligned with the plant’s requirements and designed to support reliable operation throughout its service life.
Reactor tanks for new plants and capacity expansions
Biogas plants continue to develop over time.
New organic materials, increased production or changing process requirements can create a need for additional capacity or new tank solutions.
Steel Tank supplies reactor tanks for both new biogas plants and expansions of existing facilities.
When expanding an existing plant, integration with the current infrastructure is essential. The new tank must work with the plant’s process equipment, pipework and operating setup from the beginning.
We therefore work closely with the customer throughout the project to ensure that the new solution supports the plant’s overall performance – both now and in the future.
Engineering, manufacturing and installation within one organisation
A reactor tank must be designed for the specific plant in which it will operate.
Capacity, process requirements, connections, site conditions and operating requirements all influence the way the solution is engineered and delivered.
At Steel Tank, our engineering, manufacturing and installation teams work closely together throughout the project.
This creates short lines of communication and ensures that technical decisions are carried through from drawings and calculations to manufacturing, installation and commissioning.
We deliver both individual reactor tanks and complete tank systems, including foundations, steel structures, pipe connections, instrumentation and associated installations.
For the customer, this means one partner taking responsibility for the entire process – from the initial technical discussions until the tank is installed and operational.
Service throughout the tank’s lifetime
A reactor tank is a long-term investment that must operate reliably for many years.
Steel Tank provides inspection, maintenance and repairs for existing tank systems.
A structured service programme helps identify wear and emerging issues before they develop into major repairs or affect plant operation.
This supports reliable operation and extends the service life of the reactor tank.
