Merox from wikipedia

Note that part of the definition below is not right:

removal of mercaptans is commonly refered to as extraction and not sweetening 

 extract:

Merox™ is an acronym for mercaptan oxidation. It is a proprietary catalytic chemical process developed by Universal Oil Products (UOP) and used in oil refineries and natural gas processing plants to remove mercaptans from LPG, propane, butanes, light naphthas, kerosene and jet fuel by converting them to liquid hydrocarbon disulfides.^[1]

The Merox process requires an alkaline environment which, in some of the process versions, is provided by an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH), a strong base, commonly referred to as caustic. In other versions of the process, the alkalinity is provided by ammonia, which is a weak base.

The catalyst in some versions of the process is a water-soluble liquid. In other versions, the catalyst is impregnated onto charcoal granules.

Processes within oil refineries or natural gas processing plants that remove mercaptans and/or hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) are commonly referred to as sweetening processes because they results in products which no longer have the sour, foul odors of mercaptans and hydrogen sulfide. The liquid hydrocarbon disulfides may remain in the sweetened products, they may be used as part of the refinery or natural gas processing plant fuel, or they may be processed further.

The Merox process is usually more economical than using a catalytic hydrodesulfurization process for much the same purpose.

Matrix Service constructs these tanks to API 650, 620, ASME or AWWA specifications:

VACONODOME - Aluminium geodesic dome roofs used for the covering of cylindrical open structures of up to 120 m diameter in the petroleum industry,

They are mostly applied in refineries and tank farms, where both the storage product and the structural tank components must be protected from atmospheric and environmental influences.

VACONO combines ecological aspects with economic benefits as it prevents the contamination of the storage product by e.g. rainwater, sand and other foreign matters, and reduces evaporation loss caused by wind or direct exposure to sunlight.

 the aboveground storage tank forum, a bulletin board dedicated to tanks, fuel tanks, plastic tanks, fuel storage tanks, and above ground storage tanks (AST) API650, API653 & UL142 for engineers, tank operators, maintenance personnel, and technicians who work on or around these aboveground storage tanks (AST) and chemical plastic tanks. 

an example for qustion/ answer on Aluminum Dome issue:

I would like to hear your comments “for” and “aginst” in converting 160′ foot crude tank with external annular pontoons floating roof to be coverd with aluminium geodesic dome.

Answer:

Your quesiton has many of the same benefits as a internal floating roof tank. Anyone else?

Answer 2:

All of the reputable manufacturers of the Aluminum Geodesic Domes provide full analysis of the benefits on their Web Sites. For example visit: www.landandmarine.com and click on Vapour Conservation Equipment and you will find much information. Land & Marine (UK Company) can, unlike most of the other Dome Manufacturers who are mainly based in the USA provide a full Supply and Installation service.

Temcor built the first aluminum dome for a water storage tank in 1968, for a wastewater tank in 1969, for a petroleum tank in 1977 and the world’s largest free standing aluminum dome measuring 127 meters in diameter in 1982. All of these are still in service, as are other Temcor domes withstanding the heat of a Middle Eastern desert, typhoon winds of 300 kilometers per hour on a Pacific Island and uneven snow loads of 1,500 kilograms per square meter in the Antarctic. Research and Development receives major emphasis at Temcor.

A geodesic sphere is an arrangement of polygons that approximates a true sphere. A geodesic dome is a portion of a geodesic sphere. Buildings or roofs have been constructed out of geodesic domes that range from 5-100% of a sphere. Domes used for houses are usually arrays of triangles that form three-or five-eighths of a geodesic sphere.

HMT is a worldwide specialty contractor providing services to all phases of the aboveground storage tank marketplace through:

Geodesic dome features a clear span all aluminum constructed lightweight corrosion resistant structure.  Exceptionally strong design eliminates the need for interior support structures eliminating floating roof penetrations and reducing vapor emissions.  This roof can be modified to accommodate special loading and design conditions, specifications and requirements.
