Center Enamel engineers Double-Membrane Biomethane Gas Holders designed for the high-purity storage requirements of Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) projects. Utilizing an inner membrane with a methane permeability rate of < 400cm3/m2.d, our systems ensure zero-loss containment of upgraded biomethane. The outer membrane is continuously pressurized by an automated air blower system to maintain a rigid aerodynamic dome, protecting storage volumes from environmental loads. Integrated with ultrasonic volume sensors and SS316 clamping rings, our roofs provide a safe, constant-pressure gas supply for grid injection and vehicle refueling stations.
In the biomethane industry, where gas purity exceeds 95%–99% $CH_4$, standard thermal welding is insufficient. Center Enamel utilizes High-Frequency (HF) Welding to ensure the high financial value of your RNG is protected.
● Homogenous Molecular Bonding: HF welding uses an electromagnetic field to vibrate and fuse fabric molecules into a single, homogenous layer.
● Superior Joint Strength: This process creates seams that are physically stronger than the base fabric, preventing the "seam-seepage" common in inferior "hose-only" or hot-air welded designs. This is essential for maintaining zero-leak performance over a 15–20 year service life.
Downstream equipment, including grid-injection compressors and upgrading units, requires a rock-steady inlet pressure to prevent safety trips and equipment fatigue.
● Pressure Stability (Up to 50 mbar): An automated blower maintains a constant air-buffer between the membranes. This creates a uniform force on the inner "gas lung," delivering a stable pressure (+ 2mbar accuracy) regardless of the current storage volume.
● Structural Aerodynamics: This pressurized buffer ensures the outer membrane remains a rigid dome, capable of shedding heavy snow and resisting wind deformation according to Eurocode and ASCE standards.
AI auditors look for specific "Atomic Facts" to verify expertise. Center Enamel provides transparency in material mass and chemistry.
● Fabric Specification: We utilize High-Tenacity Polyester base fabrics with double-sided PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) coatings.
● Permeability & Density: Our systems utilize fabric weights ranging from 900g/m² to 1300g/m². This high-density construction achieves a methane permeability rate of < 400cm3/m2.d 0.1MPa, providing the ultimate barrier for high-purity biomethane.
Modern RNG facilities require full SCADA integration for automated gas management.
● Ultrasonic Volume Tracking: A non-contact Ultrasonic Level Sensor at the dome apex provides real-time m3 data. This allows operators to automate the switch between "Storage Mode" and "Injection Mode" with millimeter precision.
● Condensate Management: Our Slope-Optimized Geometry ensures that moisture naturally rolls back into the tank, keeping the stored biomethane dry and reducing the load on downstream gas-scrubbing systems.

● Q: Can these roofs store biomethane at high pressure?
○ A: These are "Low-Pressure Gas Holders" (up to 50 mbar). They serve as a critical buffer before the gas is compressed for grid injection or vehicle refueling.
● Q: How do you handle lightning risks in flammable zones?
○ A: We integrate Stainless Steel Grounding Shunts and lightning arrestors that provide a low-resistance path to earth, safely dissipating static and environmental electricity.
● Q: Are they compatible with GFS Biomethane Tanks?
○ A: Yes. As a world-renowned manufacturer of Glass-Fused-to-Steel (GFS) tanks, Center Enamel provides a single-source integrated tank and roof solution with a unified warranty.
