Product Specification

Aluminum Geodesic Dome for Drinking Water Storage Tank Oil Storage Tank

Product Description

  The aluminum geodesic dome is a lightweight roofing structure constructed from aluminum alloy materials, extensively utilized in sports facilities, exhibition centers, all kinds of water storage tank, oil storage tank and commercial complexes due to its superior lighting capabilities and aesthetic appeal. The construction characteristics of Aluminum Geodesic Dome for Drinking Water Storage Tank Oil Storage Tank encompass rapid installation, lightweight components, exceptional lighting performance, and environmental sustainability. Rapid installation is facilitated by the integration of factory production with on-site assembly processes, enhancing construction efficiency and reducing project timelines. The lightweight nature of aluminum alloy materials diminishes the overall structural weight, thereby lowering the requirements for foundations and support systems. Furthermore, the transparent glass or polycarbonate panels incorporated into the aluminum geodesic dome exhibit high transparency levels, delivering effective natural illumination for indoor environments while minimizing reliance on artificial lighting. Additionally, aluminum is recyclable and has a reduced environmental impact.

   During the design phase, the aluminum geodesic dome must account for various geometric constraints. The optimal design should ensure uniform beam lengths and consistent panel sizes to streamline the processes of design, manufacturing, and construction. However, such a configuration may lead to a lack of curvature in the dome, consequently diminishing its structural integrity. Therefore, the most effective approach is to maximize structural strength while minimizing the variety of beam lengths and panel dimensions. Additionally, the design considerations for the aluminum geodesic dome include factors such as aluminum roll width, interference between beams at joints, as well as load and structural constraints.

  The primary components of the Aluminum Geodesic Dome for Drinking Water Storage Tank Oil Storage Tank consist of beams, connection nodes, and panels. Beams are typically fabricated from 6061-T6 or 6005A-T6 aluminum alloy through an extrusion process, exhibiting high strength and superior surface treatment characteristics. Connection nodes serve as the junctions between beams and are generally constructed from materials such as 6061-T6 extruded flat plates, 6063-T6 extruded flat plates, 6061-T6 hot-rolled plates, or 5052-H34 hot-rolled plates. In terms of structural analysis, the aluminum geodesic dome can be regarded as a three-dimensional space frame; solving for forces may involve thousands of equations and unknowns, thus necessitating the use of finite element models.

 In practical applications, aluminum geodesic dome have emerged as a preferred solution for water supply, wastewater treatment, petrochemical industries, bulk cargo handling, and construction due to their expansive spans, all-aluminum structure, lightweight design, exceptional corrosion resistance, rapid installation capabilities, and maintenance-free aesthetic appeal. For instance, the aluminum geodesic dome produced by Mondes Green Technology are constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy materials and comply with AWWA D108 and API 650 standards, making them suitable for a variety of industries.

  The aluminum geodesic dome, recognized as a modern architectural structure, not only possesses significant aesthetic appeal but also demonstrates unique advantages in structural performance and environmental sustainability. As construction technology continues to evolve, the scope of applications and design possibilities for aluminum domes will further expand.

Main Technical Parameter

Key Benefits

The MDS Aluminum Geodesic Dome’s advanced technology provides excellent benefits. Here’s how:

Non-Rusting: “Rust” means iron (*2) oxide formed by the oxidation of iron, or steel containing the element, iron (Fe). Since, aluminum (*1) products do not include iron, they will never “rust”.

Aluminum will oxidize forming an Aluminum oxide film on the surface. As a matter of fact, the oxidation action is similar, but the results are totally different. Iron oxide (rust) is very porous, allowing moisture to penetrate the film of rust and thus permitting additional rusting until over time, structural failure results.

Aluminum oxide is a dense, tight film covering that effectively forms a barrier to moisture, resulting in the protection of the metal underneath against further oxidation.

Thus, the oxidation rate of aluminum decreases as the film builds. An actual bare aluminum roof installation exposed to salt air with no applied barrier coating or maintenance had an oxide penetration of only 0.05 mm in 40 years. At this rate, it would require 500 years to penetrate at 0.5 mm sheet of aluminum.

Most effective leak-protection solution: Engineered for maximum weather-tightness for both new tanks and retrofits

Low maintenance cost: Aluminum alloys are corrosion resistant and don’t require painting like steel fixed roofs

Emissions reduction: reduces wind-induced vapor loss, aids in odor control and provides significant emission credits; for light products such as gasoline, a dome installed over an EFR can cut emissions by over 90%

In-service installation: Can be erected on the ground beside the tank or on an EFR and lifted into place

Custom engineered: To accommodate a wide range of spans and loading conditions

Applications

Municipal water, potable water and wastewater storage, petrochemical terminals, bulk material storage facilities and architectural structures
