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.
With a full slate of current and future projects, Dome Technology is eager to expand its team by hiring high-quality candidates, and last week members of our team participated in the BYU-Idaho Design and Construction Management Career Fair to meet college students who might be a good fit. Dome Technology employees enjoy a full range […]
The current issue of World Coal featured another Dome Technology article, this time about the full product protection domes provide for coal. Here’s an excerpt: Coal companies choose domes for one key reason: Seamless domes help companies deal with air and water issues from open coal piles while still providing ample storage. An airform surrounding […]
For years the bulk-storage industry was dominated by systems requiring manpower and near-constant attention, but today’s trend leans more and more towards fully automated solutions. To get the best systems, a turnkey approach has become more common, where companies select one provider for all the storage and handling systems necessary—not to mention operation made possible […]
