Product catalog summary
Overview
DuoSphere™ offers innovative dual membrane solutions for biogas storage, providing cost-effective alternatives to traditional steel covers. These solutions are ideal for both new installations and retrofits, offering flexibility in liquid levels and storage capacities.
Tank-Mounted DuoSphere Covers
These membrane digester covers serve as an alternative to more expensive steel covers, making them suitable for retrofits. They offer variable liquid levels and are designed for easy installation and maintenance.
Slab-Mounted DuoSphere Gasholders
Designed for standalone digester gas storage, these gasholders can be mounted on flat concrete slabs or short walls. They come factory-sealed, ensuring easy access for inspection and maintenance.
Advantages of Membrane Gas Storage
  • Constant pressure regulation
  • Customizable flow and sizes
  • Low capital and installation costs
  • Absolute odor containment
  • No need for field welding, painting, or blasting
  • Eliminates complex reinforcing cables or frameworks
  • Allows reuse of existing mechanical equipment in retrofits
Materials and Fabrication
The DuoSphere structures use PVC-coated polyester fabric membranes and stainless steel anchors. They are fabricated using radio frequency welding, which provides strong seams and typically negates the need for support cables.
Installation and Safety
Installation is quick, taking 1-3 weeks for slab-mounted and 2-3 weeks for tank-mounted systems. The high-strength fabric and design ensure safety, with continuous gas detection systems monitoring for leaks.
Applications
DuoSphere systems support various applications, including process heating, sludge drying, cogeneration, facility heating, and powering vehicles and equipment.
Comparison with Steel Gasholders
The DuoSphere system is significantly lighter and offers more gas storage capacity compared to traditional steel gasholders, with a shorter installation duration.
