Container with attached gas depot

Combined storage

This design makes possible the storage of fermentation substrate and biogas in one container. The container wall is produced from normal, stainless or enamelled steel. These different materials are also distinguished by their high resistance to the corrosion usually caused by fermentation substrate and biogas.

For roof construction, gas depots made from PVC and/or EPDM foil are used – substances which have proven impermeable to methane gas.

The foundation of the gas depot comprises central support made of stainless steel 1.4571 (AISI 316Ti) and a belt substructure.
Concerning agitator technology, submersible agitators and/or long-shaft agitators are used. Our scope of delivery includes continuous measurement of gas levels as well as DEKRA-approved protection against overpressure and underpressure.

1_3_Doppelmembrandach

Double-membrane roof

Double-membrane roofs consist of an outer foil for weather protection and an inner foil for gas storage. The weather protection foil, which protects the gas storage membrane against weather effects, has its form maintained by a supporting air blower. The belt substructure prevents the gas depot from being submerged in the substrate. Operating pressures of up to 20 mbar are possible depending on the film quality, and the various configurations of the membrane facilitate high storage volumes.

2_2_Schauglas

Sight glass

Lateral sight glasses allow visual inspection of the surface of the medium. Lateral sight glasses are supplied as double sight glasses with water connection. Sight glasses may optionally be equipped with a wiper, external lamp or camera.

2_3_Stutzen

Nozzles

For connection of the pipeline, we use nozzles with external loose flange or internal fixed flange. The surfaces in contact with the medium are made of V4A, 1.4404 (AISI 316L).
We also design and install special customer-specific solutions.

2_4_Rohrleitungsbau

Pipeline construction

To ensure an optimal construction process, we offer our customers delivery and installation of piping construction on and in the tank during assembly.
The pipelines are designed according to customer’s desires and specifications.

3_2_Mannloch_epoxy

Manhole / roof hatch

For inspection and maintenance work on the tank or technical installations, we recommend installing a manhole in the lower ring. In accordance with DIN EN ISO 28765, covered tanks must have a manhole DN 800. Manholes can be epoxy-coated or made of V4A stainless steel. In addition to lateral manholes, roofs can be supplied with various hatches. For gas depots, doors are also available. 

4_1_Hydraulische_Drucksicherung

Hydraulic pressure protection

We build our DEKRA-approved overpressure and underpressure protection systems for a wide variety of installation sites. These can be integrated – so as to be impervious to frost – or externally mounted on the tank. An externally positioned design is also possible. The response pressure, maximum pressure and maximum volume flow are considered according to your requirements; the pressure protection is designed and built accordingly. On request, we can examine the system on our test bench and prepare a corresponding report. We can also carry out an individual acceptance test in cooperation with DEKRA.

5_2_Tankmanteltreppe

Tank jacket staircase

With a tank jacket staircase, various operating points on your tank can be easily reached. The standard material is hot-dip galvanised steel; on request, however, stainless steel versions are also available. We supply winding staircase in widths of 800 mm and 1,000 mm. Alternative access options such as ladders, spiral staircases or staircase towers are available. 

6_1_Podest

Platform

We offer walkways in various designs. Polygonal walkways on the jacket or straight/sloping roof walkways are designed in accordance with EN 14122. We use standard widths of 800 mm or 1,000 mm. Walkways and platforms have gratings according to R12. They are connected to the tank wall via the substructure.

6_3_Laufsteg_polygonal

Walkway 

We offer walkways in various designs. Polygonal walkways on the jacket or straight/sloping roof walkways are designed in accordance with EN 14122. We use standard widths of 800 mm or 1,000 mm. Walkways and platforms have gratings according to R12. They are connected to the tank wall via the substructure.

7_1_Mantel--und_Dachisolierung

Jacket and roof insulation

We supply jacket and roof insulation in different insulation thicknesses and with steel or aluminium trapezoidal sheet metal. The roofs are clad with smooth sheet metal. Trapezoidal sheet manufacturers offer a wide choice of standard colours. Special colours can be achieved through powder coating, for example. The manhole is fitted with a removable manhole cap as standard.

11_1_Tauchmotorruehrwerk

Submersible agitator

We offer submersible agitators in various performance classes up to 22 KW.
Sinking and floating layers are stirred quickly and thoroughly.
The unit operates in a submerged setting and thus produces only a low-level of emissions.
