Single membrane cover

Single membrane cover

The single membrane cover structure is constructed from heavy polyester textile with a synthetic coating material on both sides to reduce emissions. The membrane construction is designed for all types of tanks, including stainless steel tanks, glass-fused-steel tanks, and concrete tanks. Single membrane structures are covers with a central column and a membrane material that is welded to shape and tensioned in place. Supporting beams are not required. The covers are made of membrane material that is fire resistant, sun resistant, UV resistant, and reinforced.

Technical design single membrane cover

For all our designs the following aspects are taken into account during a comprehensive review of the tank: application, material, site, dimensions, special constructions, and customer specifications such as colour, fire class, national and local requirements, explosion pressure , increased or reduced pressure (if the tank has forced ventilation), layout of stirrers, mixers, aerators, etc.

All requirements are included in one design. The technical drawings are used to prepare templates, item lists, specifications, work instructions, and assembly instructions. When the design is ready it is sent to the customer for approval. After approval and issuing of the order, the production of the single membrane can commence. The foil templates are first cut on a CNC machine. The templates are welded in the form of the single membrane cover. The covering construction is then transported to its destination. The tensioned membrane construction is fitted and finally fixed to the tank. Separate parts, such as the crown and manholes, are welded to the tank cover. Finally, the tank cover is tensioned using ratchets.

How do we work?

Nowadays, it is not possible to imagine tank covers without synthetic membrane construction. Where metals in the field of chemical resistance, maintenance or economic feasibility have reached their limits, synthetic membrane construction provide an excellent solution. A synthetic membrane construction is lightweight, elastic, break-proof, and above all, maintenance-free. The optimal choice of material will be made depending on the pressure and temperature of the tank contents. The firm single membrane cover construction, in combination with stainless steel fixing materials, guarantees a long life span. All membrane covers are checked by internal quality service. We provide a product certificate for all our tank covers. Moreover, we have a team of skilled assembly workers who are equipped with all required certificates.
