Ateco products

API 650 advises that all tanks storing hydrocarbon liquids should be fitted with a seal system comprising a primary seal and a secondary seal. Ateco manufacture a range of primary and secondary seals. All Ateco Primary and Secondary Seals are fitted to the rim angle on the floating roof and are designed for a rim gap of 200 mm to 250 mm +/- 100 mm, however most can be modified to accommodate varying gaps provided we are aware of the requirements before seal manufacture begins.

The Ateco Rewinder Earthing System for external floating roof tanks is an effective and virtually maintenance free electrical grounding system specifically designed for subduing sustained arcs during lightning storms. The unit is bolted to the highest point of the tank and the tinned copper braided cable is bolted to a point on the floating roof - it extends and retracts as the floating roof travels up and down.

The Ateco Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roof is an all bolted structure and no welding is required at site for its assembly and erection. It fully complies with the requirements of API 650 Appendix G. Being a self-supporting structure internal roof column supports are not required. The aluminium dome roof is now the design of choice for most tank operators and is frequently to be found on oil and refined storage tanks as well as potable and waste water tanks. Because of the corrosion resistance of aluminium alloys the Aluminium Dome Roof does not require painting – EVER, and can therefore be considered as maintenance free in this respect.
