Superior urea storage
Dome Technology provides optimal storage and material-handling systems for urea with greater value than traditional silo and flat-storage options. The PVC airform covering the dome prevents exposure to moisture and interior condensation, reducing the likelihood of packing.
Optimal moisture protection: The custom PVC airform covering the entire dome prevents exposure to moisture. The dome’s insulated nature prevents heating and cooling of the walls and air inside, eliminating condensation on the walls and protecting the integrity of the product.
Explosion protection: Domes that store urea 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.
Reduced packing: The dome’s double curvature reduces condensation and eliminates moisture that exacerbates this issue.
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.
We just received a new batch of photos from a project overseas. This DomeSilo is 40.9 meters (140 feet) tall, 33 meters (108 feet) in diameter and, when completed, will be capable of storing 30,000 metric tons of cement. It’s been a great project with a great customer.
An increasing number of cement producers are contracting with Dome Technology to build DomeSilos with ultimate product protection. A dome “is proven to be an economical and reliable solution for long-term storage,” said Dome Technology CEO Bradley Bateman. Cement and cement-industry products are completely protected when stored within a dome. Domes boast absolute waterproofing and […]
For storage projects where construction typically demands warmer temperatures, there’s another option: A DomeSilo can be built any time of year, with work marching right through the calendar. The industry norm is for new grain-storage projects to wrap up right before harvest. In contrast, a dome can be finished early in the calendar year, providing […]
