Industrial Effluent Storage Tank

Reliant Solutions installs geodesic dome roof to prevent odour from industrial effluent storage tank.

In a significant stride towards improving environmental management, Reliant Solutions has successfully installed a geodesic dome roof on an existing industrial effluent storage tank. This innovative solution is designed to prevent odors from escaping, thereby enhancing air quality and reducing the impact on surrounding areas.

The installation of the geodesic dome roof was driven by the need to contain
and manage odors emanating from the effluent storage tank. This tank, essential for industrial waste treatment, had been a source of persistent odors, affecting the immediate surroundings and operational comfort.

Benefits of a Geodesic dome

The decision to use a geodesic dome roof was based on several practical considerations:

Structural strength: Geodesic domes are known for their robustness and ability to withstand various environmental stresses, ensuring long-term durability.
Cost-effectiveness: The dome design provides extensive coverage with minimal material usage, making it a financially viable solution.
Operational efficiency: The dome facilitates better containment of odors, improving the overall working conditions around the storage tank.
Pre-assembly: The dome structure was constructed adjacent to the existing tank and then lifted into place using a crane, ensuring there was no downtime in the tank’s operation.
