AJ Tensile News: Biogas Systems

Our Biogas division recently completed two 40′ diameter ‘tank top’ membrane roofs for municipal sludge digesters at South Kitsap, West Sound in Washington State USA. These roofs were a completely bespoke design that avoided the use of problematic restraint cables, a strict requirement for this particular project. The roofs were designed and fabricated in-house at our production facility and shipped by sea for installation by our American partners. The roofs have been in use since July 2015 and the client is reportedly extremely happy with the entire project.

One from the archives here..! We recently found these photos in the bottom of a drawer and thought we’d give them an airing. In 2010 we sent a team to the USA to work with one of our American partners in Cincinnati, providing expertise and hands-on training while finishing and detailing a membrane structure that we had originally part-fabricated at our production facility back in Britain. It was a very intense but enjoyable few days, and it’s always interesting to see how things are done just that little bit differently on the other side of the pond. Whether we are working in the UK, mainland Europe or the rest of the world, we always do our very best to provide the highest level of service to all of our customers.

Our Biogas Systems division was approached to urgently replace a severely-damaged gasholder resulting from an electrical failure at a plant at Ilmajoki in the west of Finland. Some of the ancillary equipment such as air inflation fans and level detection equipment was still fit for purpose, but the replacement of the gasholder itself required immediate action.

At AJ Tensile we take the quality of our work very seriously, and that includes diligently testing the products we manufacture. This little 750 cubic metre single-skin PVC biogas bag, shaped to fit within an existing building in Lancaster, was carefully inflated to its working pressure over a period of several hours and tested to ensure it remained airtight.
