Coke—keeping things dry
Since moisture reduces coke’s calorific value, maintaining a dry environment is a must for its storage. Choose a dome for its waterproof quality and ability to store whatever tonnage you require.
Superior moisture protection: The custom PVC airform covering the dome prevents exposure to moisture. The dome’s insulated nature also prevents heating and cooling of the walls and air inside, thus preventing condensation on the walls and protecting the integrity of the product.
More storage, smaller footprint: With domes, customers can store more product in a smaller footprint, stacking it deeper and taking up less valuable property at the site than compared to a flat storage. And compared to a concrete silo, the dome allows you to store more coke in the same footprint and height due to the fact that product can be stored inside the entire dome structure.
For companies eager to work hand-in-hand with a partner who knows the industry, knows the vendors, and knows a good price, look no further than Dome Technology.
Bring on the cold! Dome Technology’s projects are often built while temperatures are below zero. Robust composition helps the on-site team control the climate inside the structure while work is underway. A completed DomeSilo can also weather bitterly cold temps common in places like Tallinn, Estonia, where four identical domes were built to store fertilizer.
The Dome Technology team is pleased to share our latest project video, this time for Bridgesource, LLC, part of Clyde Companies, Inc. The new two-dome facility in Ogden, Utah, USA, checks all the boxes: capacity, storage flexibility, and increased distribution. Check it out here.
It’s that time of year where people in harsh climates prep their properties for winter weather. A dome also benefits from annual TLC, starting with a bit of gentle scrubbing. When the dome surface looks dirty, customers can clean the outer PVC airform with simple tools—mild detergents, soft brushes, and low-pressure water are all it […]
