Lipp tank and system solutions for municipal waste water treatment have been realised in close cooperation with well known design companies and end customers since the 1980s. In addition to municipal waste water treatment plants in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and other European countries, the Lipp system has already been successfully installed in many Asiatic projects. Lipp waste water tanks are offered in variable sizes and with individually adapted features (material, covers, additional equipment). Our success lies in professional management and close cooperation with all stakeholders over the entire project period. Reliable tank solutions, timely installation and numerous reference plants both in Germany and worldwide make Lipp an important partner in municipal waste water treatment.

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR MUNICIPAL WASTE WATER TREATMENT Lipp has for many decades been an established partner of municipal waste water treatment plants, engineers and general contractors in the field of tank and system solutions for municipal waste water treatment. Due to their method of construction as well as flexibility in the choice of materials and ideal diameter – height ratios, Lipp tank and system solutions are especially suitable for the needs of small to large sewage treatment plants. They are ideally tailored to one another, but may also be embedded as individual island solutions into existing systems and are therefore equally popular with planners and end users alike. The stainless steels used and the double seaming guarantee maximum water tightness and durability with low maintenance for a wide variety of waste waters, slurries, process liquids and gases. The versatility in terms of the system solutions offered for municipal waste water treatment plants

SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR PROCESS WATER In the area of process fluids, the Lipp system offers many advantages due to its high flexibility in terms of tank dimensions and choice of materials. This means that tank solutions can be individually tailored to the process and the media to be processed. The method of installation, largely without cranes or scaffolding, and even inside buildings if necessary, make Lipp tanks and system solutions an attractive option for engineers and end users alike. As in other areas, Lipp convinces above all by its high flexibility and easy integration into planned or ongoing investments. A timely and high quality design and professional project and document management are a matter of course for Lipp.

CONTAINER AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR THE INTERMEDIATE STORAGE OF HEAT FROM WASTE HEAT OR RENEWABLE ENERGIES The intermediate storage of heat from biogas plants, biomass cogeneration plants or other heat sources is an important prerequisite for effective use. Lipp buffer tank systems are economic system solutions for the storage and supply of thermal energy and can be easily integrated into customised solutions for local heat supply. LIPP BUFFER STORAGE TANKS The individually tailored solution appropriate to heat storage requirements with useful volumes of 80 to 3,000 m³ is made of stainless steel with the Lipp dual seam system and operated in conjunction with insulation adjusted to the application at about 95 ° C. Since the Lipp system is unpressurised, the container solutions are extremely low maintenance and are very durable. The high volume, above ground Lipp storage tanks have been specially developed for this application and are popular with end users and energy suppliers alike.

TANK AND SYSTEM SOLUTIONS FOR WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS Individual, customised container and system solutions have been one of the core business areas of Lipp GmbH for decades. This is demonstrated by the long list of references for completed tanks and equipment that have been implemented in close cooperation with well known engineering firms and companies for industrial waste water treatment plants at home and abroad. From simple, open topped waste water tanks through process vessels with special requirements for stainless steel and sealing materials to fully equipped fermenter types, (SBR, CSTR etc.) for different applications, Lipp offers a wide range of system solutions. Each project is planned and manufactured individually according to specific customer requirements for material, diameter, process instructions etc., and installed and tested if necessary in close cooperation with the partners. The versatility of the Lipp system in combination with process

WASTE TO ENERGY INDUSTRY BIOGAS FROM ANAEROBIC WASTE WATER TREATMENT AND WASTE FERMENTATION PLANTS. Due to their technical characteristics and profitability, Lipp tank and system solutions are used in a variety of industrial biogas plants. Two areas of application can be distinguished, which in many cases also follow both objectives. APPROPRIATE PROCESS TECHNOLOGY, SUITABLE CONTAINER TECHNOLOGY AND THE RIGHT DIMENSIONSFirst, the anaerobic treatment of various industrial waste waters, such as in food production, biofuels or similar. The main objective here is the anaerobic pretreatment of highly contaminated but easily degradable waste water to reduce the COD load before it can go to the next stage of aerobic waste water treatment. The challenge is that in spite of the low DM content, a high degree of degradation is achieved by biomass retention or return and at the same time, biogas is produced. Due to the flexibility and variability of the Lipp system in terms of procedures

ON SITE PRODUCTION FLEXIBILITY WITH CONTINUOUSLY VARIABLE DIMENSIONS Special circumstances and requirements often call for containers which cannot be produced using standard solutions. This is where special tanks and silos which can be adjusted to suit prevailing conditions and provide individual solutions are required. The LIPP System offers a variety of possible solutions to a wide range of problems in the form of welded or folded designs. Steplessly adjustable diameters and heights enable tank dimensions to be individually adapted to the prevailing conditions. In addition, on site installation only requires a minimal amount of space, for example enabling containers to be constructed in buildings or other situations where there is limited space available. Tank in tank solutions can also be realised using the LIPP System. Tank in tank solutions Container expansion, e.g. of concrete containers Installation inside buildings Mounting on platforms Mounting on various substructures
