ALUMINATOR™ FC Full Contact Floating Roof - HMT

ALUMINATOR FCFull Contact Floating RoofThe ALUMINATOR FC Full Contact Floating Roofis a new approach to solving emissionproblems from aboveground storage tanks.The ALUMINATOR FC roof is completely vaportight per API 19.2.The roof is composed of lightweight individualpanel modules assembled to form acompletely sealed full contact floating roof.Each individual panel is a self containedflotation compartment. The completeassembled structure is extremely strong, stable,and safe for personnel access and compliesentirely with the design requirements of API650, Appendix H.Structural strength of the roof is providedthrough mechanical fastening of the undersideof the panels, not through welding. Completesealing in accordance with API 19.2 is providedthrough welding of the top seams. Eachfactory assembled panel module is tested inthe shop to insure vapor tightness. The mainpanels are sized for easy handling in the field,with special panels made around the perimeterso that the completed structure fits any tankdiameter.The bottom side of the roof is in completecontact with the product and the top side is adeck for foot and operator traffic. Panels arespecially designed for easy assembly andwelding in the field. Proprietary weldingtechniques are used to seal weld the seamsbetween the assembled panels. Uponcompletion of the welding, the seal welds arevacuum box tested to insure vapor tightness.HMT provides fully factory trained weldingpersonnel equipped to perform the fieldwelding for each installation.Full contact roofs prevent vapor buildup underthe roof, greatly reducing emissions. As theALUMINATOR FC is totally seam welded, novapors, even in small amounts, can escapethrough the seams.Contact your local HMT representative todiscuss the full suite of products and servicesthat will satisfy all your AST needs.
