Tank Seals for Floating Roofs
Coteso specializes in providing high-quality tank seals designed for floating roofs in storage tanks. Our tank seals are engineered to minimize emissions, enhance safety, and ensure long-term reliability. Manufactured in compliance with API 650 and API 653 standards, our seals offer an optimal combination of performance, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
TYPES OF TANK SEALS
We offer a comprehensive range of primary and secondary tank seals, each designed to meet specific operational requirements and environmental conditions.
1. Primary Seals
Primary seals are the first line of defense against VOC emissions and are crucial for maintaining the integrity of the storage tank. These seals are installed at the rim of external floating roofs to prevent the escape of vapors and reduce the risk of combustion.
Features and Benefits:
- Emission Control: Effective in reducing VOC emissions by sealing the gap between the floating roof and the tank wall.
- Safety: Minimizes the risk of combustible vapor accumulation, enhancing overall tank safety.
- Durability: Made from high-quality materials that are resistant to chemical degradation and environmental conditions.
- Low Maintenance: Designed for long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements.
Applications:
- Ideal for use in storage tanks containing volatile and hazardous liquids.
- Suitable for both new tanks and retrofitting existing tanks.
2. Secondary Seals
Secondary seals provide an additional layer of protection by sealing the space above the primary seal. They are essential for further reducing emissions and preventing external contaminants from entering the tank.
Features and Benefits:
- Enhanced Emission Reduction: Works in conjunction with primary seals to provide superior VOC emission control.
- Increased Safety: Additional barrier against vapor escape and external contamination, reducing the risk of rim fires.
- Customizable Design: Available in various designs to meet specific safety, storage, and regulatory requirements.
- Weather Resistance: Designed to withstand harsh environmental conditions, including extreme temperatures and weather variations.
Applications:
- Used in combination with primary seals in tanks storing a wide range of products, including petrochemicals and refined products.
- Suitable for tanks with both internal and external floating roofs.
