Oil and gas storage requires highly secure, durable, and efficient containment solutions to ensure operational safety and environmental protection. One of the most effective solutions is the double-layer protective roofing and floating roof system, which provides enhanced safety by minimizing vapor emissions, reducing fire hazards, and preventing contamination. Center Enamel, a leading manufacturer of high-quality storage tanks, offers advanced storage solutions incorporating these features to meet the stringent demands of the oil and gas industry.
Storage tanks in the oil and gas sector are exposed to various environmental and operational risks, including volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions, temperature fluctuations, and potential fire hazards. Double-layer protective roofing and floating roof systems address these challenges by offering:
Enhanced Vapor Containment – Reducing emissions and preventing hazardous gas buildup.
Fire and Explosion Risk Mitigation – Minimizing the potential for ignition sources within the storage tank.
Structural Integrity – Providing additional protection against extreme weather and external impact.
Operational Efficiency – Maintaining stable internal conditions for safer and more efficient storage.
Features of Center Enamel’s Oil and Gas Storage Tanks
1. Double-Layer Protective Roofing
Our double-layer protective roofing system enhances safety by adding an extra layer of defense against environmental factors. This system includes:
Primary Roof: A corrosion-resistant, high-strength steel or epoxy-coated material that provides structural support and primary protection.
Secondary Roof Layer: An additional protective barrier that improves insulation, prevents leaks, and enhances vapor containment.
This dual-layer system reduces heat transfer, mitigates pressure fluctuations, and minimizes structural stress, prolonging the tank’s lifespan and improving safety performance.
2. Floating Roof Systems for Vapor Control and Fire Prevention
Floating roofs are crucial in reducing evaporative losses and controlling volatile emissions. Center Enamel’s floating roof systems are designed to:
Adjust with Liquid Levels: Floating directly on the stored liquid, preventing the formation of vapor space.
Minimize VOC Emissions: Significantly reduce air pollution by containing volatile compounds.
Prevent Fire Hazards: Reduce oxygen exposure inside the tank, lowering the risk of combustion.
Our floating roofs are available in two primary designs:
External Floating Roof (EFR): Used in open-top tanks, reducing emissions and heat exposure.
Internal Floating Roof (IFR): Installed inside fixed-roof tanks, offering additional containment for volatile substances.
3. Corrosion-Resistant Epoxy Coating
To enhance durability, our tanks utilize fusion-bonded epoxy (FBE) coatings, which:
Provide superior corrosion resistance, even in harsh chemical and environmental conditions.
Extend the tank’s service life by preventing internal and external degradation.
Ensure compliance with industry standards for oil and gas storage safety.
4. Leak Detection and Monitoring Systems
Advanced leak detection systems are integrated into our storage tanks, ensuring real-time monitoring and early detection of any structural failures or seal damage. These systems help prevent environmental contamination and costly operational downtime.
Applications of Double-Layer and Floating Roof Storage Tanks
1. Crude Oil Storage
Crude oil storage requires highly secure containment to manage vapor pressure fluctuations and fire risks. Center Enamel’s floating roof tanks effectively control these risks while ensuring long-term durability.
2. Refined Petroleum Products
Gasoline, diesel, and jet fuel storage facilities benefit from floating roof tanks that reduce evaporative losses and improve storage efficiency.
3. LNG and LPG Storage
For liquefied natural gas (LNG) and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), double-layer protective roofing systems offer enhanced insulation and safety, minimizing the risk of leaks and pressure fluctuations.
4. Chemical and Petrochemical Storage
Many chemicals stored in oil and gas facilities require advanced protection against corrosion, contamination, and vapor emissions. Our epoxy-coated storage tanks provide a reliable solution.
