Internal Floating Roof Tank

Pontoon type internal floating roofs ifr eliminate voc emissions by saturating vapour and preventing new vapour to form.

Internal floating roof tank.

For more than four decades advance tank has repaired and installed internal and external floating roofs that range from 15 to 300 in diameter. Our maintenance teams can replace damaged legs seal weld pontoons repair leaks replace your outer rim and more. Specifically it is an environment friendly and economical storage tank or oil tank installed a floating roof under the vault of the tank usually made of aluminum stainless steel or other material to prevent the liquid from volatilize. These skin and pontoon ifr are designed as light weight floating structure sealed with a closed skin.

It is categorised as bact best available control technique. Internal floating roof tank is a floating roof storage tank which is covered with a fixed roof on the floating roof which can prevent the tank itself from been suffered from wind and rain guarantying the quality of stored oil under the floating roof. In many cases this reduces the concentration of vapor in the vapor space below the explosive limit. Compared with external floating roof tank internal floating roof storage tank has a fixed roof which is beneficial to improve the storage condition of oil products especially to prevent the rain water from entering the oil tank and slow down the aging of sealing ring.

Our floating roofs are used by all major oil companies as well as oil storage and pipeline companies because they are safer more cost effective and more environmentally friendly than other floating roof systems. Tanks with internal floating roofs are used when the stock contained in the tank is sensitive to water contamination such as jet fuel or if other factors such as very heavy snow loads would complicate the design of an external floating roof. But in other cases it can increase the hazard because vapor that was previously too rich to explode is brought into the explosive range. Sandborn roofs manufactures the patented sandborn full contact internal floating roof system ifr.
