Internal Floating Roof Tank Pontoon
There are 2 types of floating roof.
Internal floating roof tank pontoon. The pontoons in floating roof tanks play an essential role when it comes to performance in above ground storage tanks. At matrix applied technologies we custom engineer our heavy duty pontoon internal floating roofs to meet the most demanding environments even regions where earthquakes are likely to occur or where an aboveground storage tank may be subject to sloshing or high fill rates. Pontoon type internal floating roofs ifr eliminate voc emissions by saturating vapour and preventing new vapour to form. It is categorised as bact best available control technique.
Matrix applied technologies offers several options including the pontoon type internal floating roof. This ifr as with our standard aluminum skin pontoon type ifr is completely pre fabricated and can be installed through tank shell manways as small as 18 diameter. Tanks with internal floating roofs are used when the stock contained in the tank is sensitive to water contamination such as jet fuel or if other factors such as very heavy snow loads would complicate the design of an external floating roof. Floating roof tanks is which the roof floats directly on top of the product.
We offer two types of tank internal floating roofs ifr s manufactured by matrix applied technologies our heavy duty pontoon type internal floating roof and the full contact type internal floating roof each has been designed to overcome the many design problems that exist in other well known brands ifr s offering value for money through low cost of ownership and long term durability. Internal floating roofis where the roof floats on the product in a fixed roof tank. These skin and pontoon ifr are designed as light weight floating structure sealed with a closed skin. From skin and pontoon to full contact hmts internal floating roofs are unmatched in design quality craftsmanship and commitment to offering comprehensive solutions including working capacity optimization emissions reduction heel reduction and storage tank.
The allentech stainless steel internal floating roof was developed for products which may be corrosive to aluminum. Ergil storagetech internal floating roofs which minimize the evaporation losses of stored products such as jet fuels gasoline diesel and crude oil can be supplied as aluminium or stainless steel. External floating roofis where the roof floats on the product in an open tank and the roof is open to atmosphere. Our maintenance teams can replace damaged legs seal weld pontoons repair leaks replace your outer rim and more.
Pontoon type floating roofs are the most economical type of floating roofs in the market. This stainless steel skin pontoon type ifr is the same basic design as our aluminum skin pontoon ifr except that all components are constructed of stainless steel. This design will reduce emission with more than 98. Beside ergil storagetech floating roof s economic benefits they also protect the environment by not releasing toxic gasses to the atmosphere.
For more than four decades advance tank has repaired and installed internal and external floating roofs that range from 15 to 300 in diameter.
