Internal Floating Roofs

MGL Projects has combined experiences from the past with their research and development, through which it has produced increasingly innovative products for reducing above ground storage tank (AST) emissions.

And it’s not just about the new and interesting, when old technologies and products are to be revitalised or re-used it always can be reviewed and when needed altered to be made more efficient.

When looking to the commonly used Emission Factor Documentation for example the AP-42 section 7.1 an internal floating roof tank has both a permanently affixed roof and a roof that floats inside the tank on the liquid surface (contact deck) or is supported on pontoons several inches above the liquid surface (noncontact deck). For these requirements MGL Projects can offer both deck types in different tailors made models.

MGL Projects Contact Deck Type Models:

• MFC-HEXA FC Internal Floating Roofs – Hex Aluminium (An IFR designed with aluminium sandwich panels with a honeycombed core, floating in contact with the liquid.)
• MFC-BOXA FC Internal Floating Roofs – Box Aluminium
• MFC-BOXS FC Internal Floating Roofs – Box Stainless Steel (An IFR designed with buoyant box panels, floating in contact with the liquid.)
• MFC-PANA FC Internal Floating Roofs – Pan Aluminium
• MFC-PANS FC Internal Floating Roofs – Pan Stainless Steel (An IFR designed with pan type panels, floating in contact with the liquid with or without the aid of pontoons.)

MGL Projects Non-Contact Deck Type Models:

• MSP-AL500 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Aluminium 500
• MSP-AL750 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Aluminium 750
• MSP-AL1000 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Aluminium 1000
• MSP-S500 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Stainless Steel 500
• MSP-S750 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Stainless Steel 750
• MSP-S1000 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Stainless Steel 1000
• MSP-H500 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Hybrid 500
• MSP-H750 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Hybrid 750
• MSP-H1000 Pontoon Internal Floating Roofs- Hybrid 1000

The MGL Projects non-contact type decks consist of a deck laid on a grid framework supported above the liquid surface by tubular pontoons. The deck skin for the noncontact-type floating decks is constructed of rolled metal sheets. The overlapping sheets are joined by bolted clamping bars that run perpendicular to the pontoons to improve the rigidity of the frame. The deck skin seams can be metal on metal or gasketed with a polymeric material.
