Sulfur—when moisture-free is a must
Domes provide optimal moisture protection. Keep your sulfur storage dry and reduce risk of combustion with one of our domes.
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.
Explosion protection: Domes storing sulfur can be built with explosion panels in the apex that seal out moisture but are also designed to release in a deflagration event. The energy from a potential deflagration event is directed away from personnel and equipment. In addition, the dome doesn’t have roof beams or trusses that collect dust as compared to flat storages and silos, eliminating the concern of dust build-up that can contribute to a potential fire or deflagration event.
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.
Continental Cement Co., a Summit Materials company, has built another DomeSilo with Dome Technology, this time at its Davenport, Iowa, USA facility. The DomeSilo can store 125,000 short tons of cement powder, and according to Dome Technology’s records, the structure is among the largest-capacity cement storage facilities in the world, said sales manager Lane Roberts. The dome size is […]
In Chesapeake, Virginia, Dome Technology is hard at work on a 67,500-metric-ton DomeSilo for Titan America. The dome is 138 feet in diameter and 141 feet tall and is engineered to withstand settling and natural disaster alike. It’s incredible to think that one of the strongest manmade structures in the world begins as a fabric […]
Dome Technology is proud of its history. On May 22, 1979, our founder Barry South and his brother David received a United States patent for thin-shell concrete domes and their construction methods. This is the original patent. Dome Technology has blossomed from humble beginnings in Idaho, USA, into a company that builds world-class storage structures […]
