What is a Floating Roof Tank?

Our Internal Floating Roof has a superior design and the material “Internal Floating Roof” are the most effective way of reducing vaporevaporation and VOC (Volatile Organic Compound) emission to the atmosphere. This contributed to environmental prevention, fire hazard prevention as wall as saving a great deal of money by preventing evaporation loss ‘Green Deck Internal Floating Roof’ utilizes top grade Aluminium, high quality stainless steel and excellent rubber materials to maximize strength and to assure corrosion resistance.

Characteristic of Internal Floating Roof Tank

Internal floating roof tank is known as internal floating roof storage tank, floating roof oil tank, internal floating plate storage tank and internal floating plate oil tank, etc. 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. It is a volatile liquid storage tank, also a floating roof tank combined with the internal floating roof structure, which has been widely used in gasoline, aviation kerosene, and volatile chemical liquid.

An internal floating roof or internal floating plate is a head cover floating with oil and liquid up or down on the oil surface. Adopting the internal floating roof cover in the liquid surface is recognized as the most ideal economic and practical method to reduce the evaporation loss of oil products.

Internal Floating Roof Tank Advantages

  • Obvious environmental economic benefits:Under specific climate conditions, according to the historical data shows that the economic value of the volatilization of oil and gas reduced by internal floating roof tank within 3-6 months is equal to the internal floating roof installation and procurement costs, which can recover the cost of internal floating roof in half a year. It can be suitable for all kinds of butt and lap pot, it does not pollute oil product or chemical, but can reduce the volatilization loss of medium, prevent the air pollution, it is an ideal internal floating roof and floating plate with low cost, short construction period, corrosion resistance, space-saving and long service life, etc.

  • High safety:The internal floating plate floats on the liquid surface, which makes the liquid phase have no evaporation space, reducing the evaporation loss of 85% ~ 90%. At the same time, through the floating plate, it can cut off air and liquid, reduce air pollution and the occurrence of fire.

  • Long economic life: As there is no gas space upon the liquid surface in internal floating roof tank, it can reduce the oscillation of the liquid in the process of conveying the liquid in the tank, prevent the inside wall of the tank from impact or the internal pressure by the fluid, reduce corrosion of tank top and tank wall, and prolong the service life of the storage tank.

Internal Floating Roof Tank Parameter as Follows:

  • Working pressure: atmospheric storage tank;

  • Working temperature: -30℃~150℃;

  • Liquid medium: various oil products, including naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, crude oil, fuel oil, heavy oil, benzene, xylene, methanol, ethanol, etc;

  • Tank volume: ≤10,000 m³.
