Aluminum alloy geodesic dome structure

Large-Span Spatial Solutions for the Petrochemical Industry

Corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and efficient to install, specifically designed for petrochemical storage tanks, silos, maintenance sheds, and similar applications, balancing safety and cost-effectiveness.

Core Application Scenarios in the Petrochemical Industry

Given the highly corrosive, large-span, and safety-critical environments characteristic of the petrochemical industry, aluminum alloy grid shell structures have been widely adopted in the following key scenarios:

Crude oil storage tank

Suitable for crude oil storage tanks, chemical feedstock storage tanks, wastewater storage tanks, and similar applications, providing large-span column-free coverage. Effectively blocks rainwater and contaminants while minimizing medium volatilization losses.

Utility Tunnel Support Structure

For overhead pipeline installation in petrochemical plants, replacing traditional concrete supports to reduce land use and accommodate complex terrain layouts.

Wastewater Treatment

Used in petrochemical wastewater treatment tanks, biochemical reaction tanks, and similar facilities, it seals and collects exhaust gases to prevent secondary pollution while protecting the tank structure.

Explosion-proof factory roof

Suitable for production workshops handling flammable and explosive chemical products, featuring excellent pressure relief performance and corrosion resistance to ensure production safety.

LNG storage tank

Top cover for LNG storage tanks, providing a cryogenic-resistant, sealed storage environment to ensure safe operation of the equipment.

Finished Oil Storage Tank

Used for covering the tops of finished oil storage tanks, providing a sealed and secure storage environment that effectively reduces vapor losses.

Core Competitive Advantages Exclusive to the Petrochemical Industry

Compared to traditional steel and concrete structures, aluminum alloy shell structures offer irreplaceable technical advantages in petrochemical environments.
Exceptionally corrosion-resistant, suitable for harsh environments

Aluminum alloys inherently possess corrosion resistance, requiring no additional anti-corrosion coatings (or only simple treatment). They withstand corrosive environments in the petrochemical industry, including acidic and alkaline media, humid vapors, and marine atmospheres, with a service life exceeding 30 years—significantly longer than traditional steel structures (which require regular anti-corrosion maintenance).

Lightweight and high-strength, reducing foundation costs

Aluminum alloy has a density only one-third that of steel. At equivalent strength, it significantly reduces structural self-weight, thereby decreasing the load-bearing pressure on lower structures such as storage tanks and foundations and lowering foundation engineering costs. Simultaneously, its lightweight properties facilitate transportation and hoisting, reducing construction energy consumption.

Large span without columns, high space utilization

The space frame structure distributes loads through spatial grid collaboration, enabling spans of 30-80 meters without intermediate columns. This provides ample unobstructed space for petrochemical equipment installation, maintenance, and material storage, while accommodating various irregular layouts.

Modular construction shortens project duration

Components are prefabricated in factories with high precision and controllable quality. On-site assembly utilizes bolted connections, eliminating welding (or requiring minimal welding). The construction cycle is only 1/2 to 2/3 of traditional steel structures, minimizing disruption to normal production at petrochemical plants and accelerating project commissioning.

Environmentally friendly and energy-efficient, recyclable

Aluminum alloy is 100% recyclable, meeting the petrochemical industry's requirements for green and low-carbon development. Its structural thermal insulation properties outperform steel, reducing energy consumption in industrial buildings and storage tanks. With no welding pollution, the construction process is more environmentally friendly.
