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.
Two powerful elements at the Barrette-Chapais wood-pellet terminal in Quebec, Canada, are the 100-meter Belt Conveyor and 250-meter Tubulator that stretch from the domes near the mountain all the way to the dock. Bruks Siwertell provided the system and has written about it in detail here. Wood-pellet producer Barrette-Chapais contracted with Dome Technology to build two DomeSilos, […]
No doubt biomass companies are some of the savviest out there. After all, products perceived as “green” are hot and will just get hotter, and these companies had the foresight to get involved early. With any booming business, time is of the essence, and big biomass-storage projects demand a lot of it. That’s why Dome […]
When you’re a company executive, time is of the essence, and there’s never enough of it. That’s why more companies are opting to hire a turnkey builder for new storage projects. It’s a decision that keeps the team size manageable, allows the customer to call the shots, and yields cost savings. As bulk-storage companies get […]
