Replacement of a large Flexible Membrane Gas Holder

Due to a failed inner membrane, our engineers developed this project to include:

  • Isolation of the existing gas holder
  • Temporary diversion of Biogas to ensure continued site operation
  • Nitrogen purging of the existing gas membrane
  • Removal of all existing materials responsibly
  • Survey and repair of existing concrete base
  • Survey and internal CCTV of existing gas lines to and from the gas holder
  • Installation of a new gas holder, blowers and gas detection system
  • Nitrogen purging of new gas holder
  • Survey and testing of lightning protection systems
  • Returning the new gas holder to full operation

To see the magic in action...watch our quick time-laps video to the right and watch the transformation unfold in just seconds!
