The floating roof design has been the most widely used system for storage of petroleum products.
Charter Industrial’s internal floating roof consists of float tubes joined together by clamp beams on the deck skin and are fitted and equipped with a continuous closure device (primary / secondary seal) between the tank shell and the floating roof edge.
The purpose of the internal floating roof is to have a minimal vapor zone above the stored liquid.
