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.
Dome Technology is collaborating with Japanese company Kajima to build industrial and commercial domes in Japan. In March 2020 the first Japanese office building using the dome-construction method was built at Kajima’s Seisho Experimental Field in Odawara City, Kanagawa Prefecture. Based on its success, the dome method was applied in June 2021 to begin a […]
The dome is nature’s perfectly strong shape, and its geometry yields an unusually strong manmade structure. Once the foundation system is established, a ring beam foundation is constructed at ground level to form the foundation for the dome structure above. Tunnels too are constructed as needed for the material-handling processes of the dome storage. The […]
Dome Technology engineers never really take a break. The in-house team is involved from the very beginning of every project, starting with collaboration during sales calls and coordination meetings. Once a contract is set, engineers transition to strategizing how best to build the project, what materials to use, and what size dome is best. During […]
