VaporVault™ Floating Oil-Water Separator Cover

HMT’s new VaporVault™ Composite Floating Cover represents a major breakthrough in the Oil-Water Separator Floating Cover market. This new concept in Floating Covers provides Separator owners and operators with a clear choice in the type of covers available. 

This new composite design includes features not found in other Covers. This design incorporates the latest advancements in FRP Pultrusion technology and composite construction, resulting in a Cover with superior operating performance properties and extended, maintenance free, service life. The strength of this VaporVault™ Floating Cover is unequalled in the industry.

This advanced full-surface liquid contact type Floating Cover is constructed of FRP Pultrusion Materials that have been specially designed for adverse operating conditions.  The individual panel sections are ribbed for additional strength and durability.

All panel compartments are fitted with test ports to ensure that each compartment is free of hydrocarbon vapors. All panel connections are designed to be vapor tight. The individual panel flotation compartments are designed to make these Covers virtually unsinkable. The patented panel connection system facilitates a “quick and easy” field installation process.

The advanced composite materials are designed to resist virtually any liquid found in an Oil-Water Separator. Special coatings are available to meet extreme service conditions. Further, these composite materials are also designed to dissipate any static buildup. All Cover materials are UV and ozone resistant, and are designed to provide a long, maintenance free, service life.

In addition, the materials used in the construction of these VaporVault™ Covers are fire-retardant to resist heat and flame. As an option, each panel compartment can be filled with inert nitrogen gas to blanket the surface area of the Separator in the event of an operational problem. Each panel can also be fitted or coated with an intermescent material designed to close off any flotation compartment subjected to a flame, thereby sealing the compartment from vapors, liquids and oxygen, and thus preventing the spread of fire. This option makes the Cover virtually fireproof. These systems are yet further examples of HMT’s commitment and focus toward safety and hydrocarbon emission reduction.

The peripheral rim seals are designed for abrasion resistance and also for compatibility with the various Separator waste products. The HMT Double Seal is specifically designed for Floating Covers used in Separators having abrasive side walls and harsh waste products. This seal will accommodate variations in the rim spacing and will provide a greatly extended service life over conventional seals.

These advanced VaporVault™ Floating Covers are engineered to meet the needs of today’s stringent environmental and safety requirements. They meet and exceed the various applicable federal, state and local environmental and industry performance standards.

HMT also provides various types of Fixed Covers and Storage Tanks for your Oil-Water Separator and Wastewater Treatment Facilities.  HMT has been serving the petroleum, chemical, pulp & paper and agricultural industries by providing quality Aboveground Storage Tank products and services for almost 30 years.
