Double membrane roofs are one of the most effective and innovative roofing solutions for a variety of storage tanks, especially those used in industries such as oil and gas, chemicals, and wastewater management. Offering superior protection against environmental elements, double membrane roofs are increasingly becoming the preferred choice for tank owners seeking long-term durability, safety, and cost-effectiveness.

Center Enamel, a global leader in the design and manufacturing of advanced storage solutions, provides high-quality Double Membrane Roofs that ensure your storage systems remain safe, efficient, and environmentally compliant.

Product Application Industries

The implementation of double membrane technology is essential for high-performance gas and liquid management across several key sectors:

Biogas and Renewable Energy: Capturing and storing methane-rich biogas from anaerobic digesters in agricultural and industrial plants.

Wastewater Treatment: Covering primary and secondary digesters to manage odors and collect renewable energy byproducts.

Oil and Gas: Protecting storage tanks from environmental ingress while providing a buffer for volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Chemical Processing: Containing hazardous vapors and ensuring airtight storage for sensitive chemical substances.

Municipal Infrastructure: Providing reliable covers for large-scale water and waste treatment reservoirs to ensure environmental safety.

Manufacturing Power and Logistical Superiority

As a premier global provider, Center Enamel leverages advanced production technology and specialized logistics to serve the international industrial market:

Precision Fabrication and Standards: Our double membrane roofs are manufactured using high-strength polyester fabrics with specialized PVC/PVDF coatings, ensuring maximum resistance to UV and chemicals. These systems are often integrated with our Epoxy Coated Tanks or Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks for a complete storage solution.

Engineering Excellence: We specialize in cohesive system design. For facilities in extreme climates, we can pair these systems with Aluminum Dome Roofs  to provide a rigid secondary shield against high wind and heavy snow loads.

Quality Assurance: Every membrane undergoes high-frequency welding and rigorous pressure testing. Our factory-controlled processes guarantee consistent gas-tightness and structural performance that meet international safety codes.

Logistical Efficiency: The modular and foldable nature of membrane materials allows for high-density packing in standard shipping containers, significantly reducing international freight costs. Once on-site, Center Enamel provides expert technical supervision to ensure the air-support and pressure-regulation systems are installed with precision.

Non-Fictitious Project Cases

Center Enamel has a proven track record of delivering reliable storage and covering infrastructure for global energy and water projects:

Thailand Cassava Biogas Project: Center Enamel provided 3 units of high-capacity gas storage solutions to support this large-scale industrial waste-to-energy facility.

Shandong Livestock Wastewater Project: We supplied 2 units of specialized storage infrastructure to manage biogas generated from agricultural waste treatment.

Costa Rica Wastewater Treatment Project: Center Enamel supplied 2 units of storage tanks complemented by double membrane systems to deliver essential vapor containment and corrosion resistance.

What are Double Membrane Roofs?

A Double Membrane Roof consists of two layers of flexible materials, typically reinforced fabric, that form an airspace between them. The upper membrane acts as a weatherproof barrier, while the lower membrane serves as a secondary layer to support structural integrity and prevent gas or vapor leakage. This design ensures that the tank is protected from external elements, such as rain, wind, and extreme temperatures, while maintaining a safe internal environment.

This type of roof system is widely used in liquid and gas storage tanks, where managing vapor emissions and maintaining structural integrity is critical. The double membrane provides redundancy, meaning that in the unlikely event of one membrane failing, the other will continue to provide protection.

Key Benefits of Double Membrane Roofs

Enhanced Durability and Longevity: Double membrane roofs are engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including high winds, rain, UV exposure, and extreme temperatures. Their robust construction ensures that your storage tank is protected for many years, reducing the need for frequent repairs or replacements. By offering a strong, resilient barrier, they contribute significantly to the long-term durability of the tank.

Improved Safety and Leak Prevention: The air gap between the two membranes plays a crucial role in preventing the leakage of gases or volatile compounds. This makes double membrane roofs an excellent solution for industries where hazardous materials are stored. The roofs help to contain vapors, reducing the risk of fire, explosions, or toxic emissions. Additionally, they enhance safety by preventing the accumulation of dangerous gases in the tank.

Efficient Vapor Management: Double membrane roofs are especially beneficial in tanks that store volatile liquids or gases, as they effectively manage vapor emissions. The enclosed space between the two membranes can be pressurized, allowing for the collection and safe venting of gases. This vapor management system reduces the loss of valuable materials and helps to minimize environmental impact, making double membrane roofs a sustainable option for businesses.

Cost-Effectiveness: While double membrane roofs may require a higher initial investment compared to single-layer roofing systems, they offer long-term savings by significantly reducing maintenance costs. Their ability to prevent leaks and reduce vapor emissions lowers the overall operational costs for tank owners, improving cost efficiency over time. Furthermore, the durability of double membrane roofs means fewer repairs are needed, which translates to lower maintenance expenses.

Easy Installation and Maintenance: Double membrane roofs are relatively easy to install, and their design allows for straightforward maintenance. The air gap between the membranes makes inspections easier, as potential issues can be detected quickly before they lead to larger problems. Regular maintenance helps keep the roof system in optimal condition, ensuring its longevity and performance.
