Finding cost-effective ways to address the increasing burden of environmental regulation is a top priorityfor petroleum and chemical storage tank facility operators everywhere.

Maxwell Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roofs are designed to help control hazardous vapour emissions whilein the same time preventing water and snow from entering your storage tank. By doing so, our aluminiumdomed roofs improve the environment, protect stored products and reduce the remediation costs associated with for example treating contaminated “bottom water”.

When looking to the aluminium as used in our geodesic domes, where the aluminium is more specifically an aluminium alloy, it is one of the world’s most commonly used construction metals.

Summarised the lightweight combined with strength and its excellent corrosion resistance, the main reasons for being used in the design of our aluminium geodesic dome roofs.

Our Maxwell Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roofs are ideal for both new construction and renovation projects and are used for coverage of any product.

Being corrosion resistant, lightweight, durable and thus economically applicable for any above ground storage tank (AST) an aluminium dome roof is the ideal solution.

The aluminium domes can be shipped anywhere in the world and erected quickly, usually with no interruption of tank operation.

Assembly wise any of our aluminium dome roofs can be assembled, either inside or outside the tank and lifted into its final position with a grip hoist pulley block system or a by a mobile crane. Next to this it can be put in place by an external floating roof flotation lift.

When using the “jacking method” to erect the tank, the Maxwell Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roof is fitted on the top course and jacked up connected to and together with the shell.

When thinking about accessories of any kind…

All essential equipment that is usually seen on a conventional steel dome or cone roof tank can be fitted on our Maxwell Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roof, this without any significant modification to the equipment of the roof.

Our aluminium dome roofs can be equipped with prefab walkways and platforms, this allow operators for safe access to take their product samples or do visual inspections of the dome roof accessories.

Design Features

Tight umbrella to prevent direct UV ingress and so generating a contribution to VOC emissions.
Preventing ingress of water, snow and debris,through which OPEX maintenance costs arereduced significantly.
Looking to CAPEX compared to steel roofs;Typically steel roofs have a lower initial cost,but upon examining the true total costs ofownership, when looking to coating costs or iflife span is considered then aluminium oftengives a better total cost of ownership.

Technical

Covered tanks requires only a primary seal*.

Although EPA, EN and some local districts havestricter requirements, where EFRT tanks requiresprimary plus secondary seal, which requires morevertical spacing to accommodate secondary seal.

Fully compliant with the requirements of EN-14015,API 650, GOST and other applicable law orregulation.
