Internal floating roofs for storage tanks

In the past atmospheric storage tanks have contributed significantly to emissions of volatile organic hydrocarbons (VOC’s). In recent years the economic aspects and environmental impact being the result of these emissions have gained more and more interest. several products were then developed to reduce emissions. At the basis f these developments was the internal floating roof. By covering major part of the liquid surface and through an effective seal the emission reduction by installing an internal floating roof is in can be up to 98%. Also the API committee has acknowledged the importance and relevance of this development by maintaining a standard for internal floating roofs (API 650 Appendix H). Floating roofs are available in a wide range of materials including aluminium and stainless steel and as vapour containing as well as direct contact roofs..
