cost-effective top cover solution for petroleum and chemical storage tank facilities

Compared with carbon steel roofing, the geodetic aluminum roof is light in weight, non-corrosive, easy to handle, simple and quick to install, low cost, and long life. These facts make the aluminum dome a great investment and the right decision. The aluminum geodesic dome roof used for storage tanks is an innovative clear span structure, custom-designed for each individual storage tank in accordance with the requirements of API 650 Appendix G.

Finding a cost-effective top cover solution to solve the increasing burden of environmental regulations is the top priority for operators of petroleum and chemical storage tank facilities everywhere. Center Enamel's aluminum geodetic dome roof is designed to help control harmful vapor emissions while preventing water from entering the storage tank.

In the process, our aluminum domed roof improves the environment, protects stored products, and will reduce repair costs associated with the treatment of contaminated "bottom water". The aluminum geodetic dome roof of Center Enamel is an ideal choice for new construction and renovation projects. It is corrosion-resistant, light-weight, and durable, so it is economical and suitable for every above-ground storage tank (AST). They can be shipped anywhere in the world and installed quickly, usually without interrupting tank operations.

Advantages of aluminum geodesic dome roof

There is no need to support the internal pillars of the roof, the aluminum dome is self-supporting.

The aluminum dome is lighter. Approximately 3 times lower than the steel roof.

The aluminum geodesic dome roof is maintenance-free. No need to paint, refurbish, etc.

The aluminum geodesic dome roof is waterproof.

The aluminum geodesic dome roof is easy to install, because the dome roof does not require any paint, which reduces on-site installation time and craftsmanship.

The aluminum geodesic dome roof is made of aluminum and fully complies with API 650 standards.

Aluminum geodesic dome roof structure

The aluminum geodesic dome roof is a clear span and self-supporting peripheral structure. Aluminum (more specifically an aluminum alloy) is one of the most commonly used metals in the world. Its lightweight, high strength, and good corrosion resistance are the main reasons for the design of the aluminum geodesic dome roof. This non-corrosiveness means that the aluminum geodesic dome roof can be used for storage tanks for most products. aluminum geodesic dome roof is a triangular lightweight extruded profile system that acts on both compressive and tensile forces to resist load conditions.
