Is there any honeycomb on the internal floating roof?

Let’s hear everyone’s opinions: between internal floating roofs with and without honeycomb structures, which one is better?

There are several questions regarding the cellular floating disc: 1. It is difficult to ensure complete sealing through bolted connections; since the floating disc consists of multiple compartments, each of which represents a potential point of leakage. 2. The damage rate of floating decks with a support beam system where no beams are present between floating boxes is higher. 3. Honeycomb panels are made of aluminum, and they cannot be welded to stainless steel. 4. The honeycomb panels are interconnected; if one cell leaks, it will cause all cells to become leakage points. 5. The honeycomb structure and the box must be glued together. However, it’s impossible to guarantee that the adhesive has flame-retardant properties. Moreover, over time, the oil and gas inside the tank can cause the adhesive to peel off, creating potential hazards. 6. The biggest problem is: if the floating roof gets damaged, how can the oil inside the honeycomb panels be removed? Over time, the bolts inside the tank become rusted and immovable without the use of fire or electricity; thus, maintenance becomes impossible.

The analysis is excellent; so what products do you recommend?

Honeycombs mainly enhance structural strength, but they increase weight. If the medium causes severe corrosion, it is recommended to use honeycomb structures. For more information, visit the official website: http://www.lygmuchen.com/. Lianyungang Muchen Fluid Equipment Manufacturing Co., Ltd. specializes in the custom production of aluminum alloy internal floating discs, as well as stainless steel S30408/316 floating disc-type internal floating discs and stainless steel S30408/316 fully submerged internal floating discs. Sealing includes large-compensation high-efficiency seals/fragment seals, bladder seals, tongue-type seals, and secondary seals. Additional loading arms. Technical explanations of the drawings are provided, along with 3D drawings; shipping costs are included for the full liquid-contact internal floating disk package. Lianyungang Muchen internal floating roof is a floating cover that floats on the surface of the oil tank and rises and falls along with the level of the oil. Using such an internal floating roof to cover the liquid surface is currently recognized as the most economical and simple method for reducing oil evaporation losses. Under specific conditions, statistical data from relevant manufacturers indicate that within 3 to 6 months of installing an internal floating roof, the economic value derived from reduced oil and gas evaporation is equivalent to the cost of purchasing and installing the internal floating roof itself; in other words, the cost of the internal floating roof can be recovered within half a year. It is suitable for docking tanks and overlapping tanks of various sizes; it does not contaminate oils or chemicals, reduces volatilization losses of the medium, and prevents air pollution, making it an ideal internal floating roof (disk). It features low cost, short construction time, corrosion resistance, no space occupation, and a long service life. Contact number: 1866, 125, 1137
