We design, supply and install these products around the world. The management of CTS has an extensive track record in this industry, and is therefore excellently capable of servicing your requirements in this area. We can assure you that CTS will honour all its commitments and meet every individual expectation. We are located within minutes from the port of Rotterdam (The Netherlands)

Aluminium dome roofs
Aluminium dome roofs have developed into a product that can replace conventional steel roofs in many applications, including the area of atmospheric storage tanks. In recent years many external floating roof tanks have been covered by aluminium dome roofs both to eliminate rainwater ingress and to reduce emissions. Being free-span, light weight and maintenance free an aluminium dome roof will be a long term investment and prove a valuable asset for each terminal owner. Apart from being fitted to existing and new storage tanks aluminium domes have extensively been installed in both architectural fields (sporting arena’s, landmark buildings), bulk storage and waste water installations.

Primary tank seals
CTS® provides many types of Primary Seals for Aboveground Floating Roof Storage Tanks. These Primary Seal designs include state-of-the-art Mechanical Shoe Seals, Wiper Seals, Tube Seals, Foam Seals and special application type seals. These seals are designed for both External and Internal type floating roofs. A wide range of materials of construction is incorporated into each type seal design to ensure compatibility with the stored liquid product and long service life. These seals are designed to keep the stored hydrocarbon vapors from escaping to the atmosphere, even when subjected to adverse service conditions and wide variations in roof rim space. Several of these seal designs allow installation while the storage tank remains in-service.

Secondary seals
A complete range of secondary seals for external floating roof tanks. These Secondary Seal designs range from CTS20 compression plate seals to special CTS1 mechanical shoe plate seals for both external and internal floating roofs. Typically the CTS-developed secondary seals will be designed for product stored compatibility and will provide a long term reliable tank seal, reducing emissions and eliminating rainwater ingress to the product stored. There where it will be important to maximize tank capacity CTS carries the designs which enable you to utilize the maximum capacity of your storage tanks.

Internal floating roofs
CTS designs and provides internal floating roofs to reduce emissions. Our designs include various types of contact and non-contact aluminum and stainless steel roofs designed and manufactured according API 650 Appendix H and relevant local requirements. Apart from different roof designs we are able to supply a full range of seals on internal floating roofs, both for new installations as well as for retrofit applications. In recent years we have gained extensive experience converting external steel floating roof tanks to a tank design incorporating an aluminium dome roof covering an internal floating roof. Some of the projects we covered included cable suspended internal floating roofs,
eliminating roof legs contacting the tank bottom.
