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.
For a clinker storage site in Santiago, Chile, BSA Cementos needed massive storage that would stay secure, no matter how much the earth might shake. Dome Technology built a dome that would increase BSA Cementos production by 950,000 tons per year during the first stage of operation, with as much as 1,900,000 tons a year […]
Dome Technology recently completed two domes for biomass manufacturer Enviva at the Port of Pascagoula on the Gulf of Mexico in Mississippi, USA. The domes will store 45,000 metric tons of sustainably sourced wood pellets and stand 157 feet tall and 175 feet in diameter. Pellets will be delivered to the site by rail, then […]
Dome Technology participated in the Australian Bulk Handling Expo, a joint conference with MEGATRANS, August 24 through 26 in Melbourne, Australia. Nearly 5,000 attendees from industries including sugar, almonds, grain, cement, and wood pellets were in attendance. “It was a great show to have the opportunity to introduce Dome Technology to a variety of industries […]
