Knostrop Sludge Treatment Facility slab-mounted BioSphere

Mounted on a 3m concrete plinth, this 4,000 cubic metre BioSphere gasholder was recently installed by our installation crew at Knostrop Sludge Treatment Facility in Leeds for Yorkshire Water Services Ltd. With a base diameter of nealy 18m and a height of around 15.5m, this BioSphere is an imposing structure that requires expert installation techniques and takes around six hours to inflate once secured to the plinth. All production was performed in-house by AJ Tensile Manufacturing Ltd at our facility in Caldicot, with design, project management and installation performed by AJ Tensile Biogas Systems Ltd. Additional volumetric checks were performed on-site after inflation to confirm the accuracy of the level-checking laser by measuring discharged air using an anemometer.
