Biogas Domes
Are you looking for storage of biogas or carbon dioxide? Membrane Systems Europe has the perfect solution. The MSE biogas dome is a storage system for the storage of biogas, carbon dioxide or other gases. The system consists of an internal membrane, an external membrane, and a bottom membrane. The gas is stored between the internal membrane and the bottom membrane. The ventilator / air blower provides the air pressure between the internal membrane and external membrane. This air pressure enables the external membrane to hold its shape to withstand wind and snow loads. Gas can be stored or removed without changing the shape of the external membrane.
The MSE biogas dome is installed on a concrete base. Pressure valves and level measurement systems are standard included in the scope of supply. On request, methane detectors, control panels or even lightning diversion systems can be supplied.
Storage of biogas with pressures up to 50 mbar
The biogas can be stored up to pressures of 50 mBar. Storage volumes vary from 20 m3 to 10.000 m3. The MSE biogas dome has a ¾ or hemisphere shape. The hemisphere shape allows limited pressure (approximately 5 mBar for gas-storage) where the ¾ biogas dome can be applied for higher gas pressures (minimum 5 mBar up to 80 mBar).

Benefits of biogas domes
MSE’s gas storage systems are exclusively manufactured from advanced structural materials and designed as membranes to provide both structural (climatic) stability and impermeable gas storage. No metals are used, except for the anchorage connecting the membranes to a concrete foundation slab. Our gasholders are provided with inflation fans and full instrumentation to measure and control the storage process. Our biogas domes can be used in many environments including solid waste processing facilities, sewage water and sludge treatment facilities, agricultural waste treatment projects, and agricultural and industrial biogas installations.
Technical specifications
- 100% high-frequency welded membranes
- Available up to a gas storage of 12.500 m³ (from 40m³)
- Operating pressure up to 50 mBar
- Lowest possible gas permeability
- Static calculation applied to complete installation
MSE Biogas-dome is 100% high frequency welded
Like all MSE products, the biogas domes are 100% high frequency welded, providing the best welding quality possible. The high frequency welding guarantees a significantly longer lifespan than products welded by hot air. MSE applies reinforced technical textile PVC membranes with the lowest gas permeability possible. The process ensures a constant welding quality and is highly resistant to a very wide temperature range (-30 to plus 70 deg C). The storage systems are used for biogas installations in the agricultural market, water treatment plants, and industrial applications.
