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.
When the City of Shelley in Idaho needed a new water tank, they chose to work with Dome Technology and saved hundreds of thousands in the process. According to Mayor Stacy Pascoe, Dome Technology was contracted for the job based on this technology and the low bid. The city anticipated spending $1.1 million on a […]
The DomeSilo is Dome Technology’s most popular dome-storage model, but companies shouldn’t rule out the hemispherical dome as a prime option too. When just looking at the dome storage itself, a “hemisphere is often the least expensive to build,” said Dome Technology sales manager Cameron High. “I would say at least half the proposals we […]
Dome Technology has pioneered proprietary round explosion panels ideal for products prone to deflagration. Until now, square and rectangular explosion venting have been the norm, but Dome Technology’s round model has been and will continue to be installed on bulk-storage domes with significant advantages. Whether a pre-manufactured rectangular panel or a metal cladding piece, a […]
