Composite floating roof
The Tanksystems DeckMaster GRP floating roof is a seamless, non-metallic full-contact floating roof. It’s gas-tight polypropylene honeycomb core is “sandwiched” between multiple layers of fiberglass utilizing modern high-grade Vinyl Ester resins designed to be resistant to most hydrocarbons in the petrochemical industry. The result is a smooth, seamless and virtually indestructible full-contact floating roof that also is corrosion free, thus necessitating little or no maintenance.
Key user benefits:
- Maintenance-free — corrosion resistant, requires no painting, coating or spare parts
- Minimal construction time & disruption — all materials fit through one 24” manway
- Unsinkable — due to its multi-cell, gastight, leak-proof honeycomb core and the cured-in-place multi-layered fiberglass construction
- Fully engineered and field-proven — 15+years, dozens of major oil & gas end-users
- Maximizes tank capacity — low-profile cross-section increases working capacity
- Virtually indestructible— aerospace composite sandwich construction
Key design features:
- Full-contact — to eliminate vapors below the internal floating roof
- Gas-tight — to accommodate both a mechanical shoe primary & secondary seals
- High strenght — to withstand pigging, light-end slugs and turbulence from high fill rates
- Seamless — single-piece construction qualifies for zero-deck-seam emissions per API
- Chemically resistant — to all products typically stored in floating roof tanks
- Fire retardant — tested by certified third-party specialist (Last Fire Group)
