The BTE Heavy Duty Aluminium Internal Floating Roof (IFR) is the result of over 25 years practical tank experience by BTE engineers in the installation, maintenance and design of IFR’s. Our IFR is durable and overcomes the many design problems that exist in other well-known brand IFR’s. When the concern is “Whole of Life Cost” the quality engineered BTE Heavy Duty IFR offers tank owners the best possible value for money.
The BTE Heavy Duty IFR is designed to provide indefinite maintenance free operation of the main structural elements. Suitable for earthquake prone regions or in tanks subject to high sloshing and/or turbulence due to high fill rates or mixers. The BTE Heavy Duty IFR features:
- High section modulus main I-beam and sheeting clamp channel
- Large diameter, high strength support legs at the rim and centre deck
- All centre deck legs are connected to the IFR frame, not to pontoon ends. This eliminates the possibility of pontoon end cracking due to IFR flexing in service
- Unique, easy to assemble, aluminium alloy interlocking system
- All stainless steel fasteners
- Hybrid IFRs with all-stainless-steel wetted parts or full stainless steel IFRs available
- BTE IFRs are designed to meet or exceed the requirements of API 650 Appendix H
- Heavy Duty 1000lb/ft² load capability
- Roof suspended IFR’s available for clear floor area & increased tank working volume
- All components designed to pass through a 24inch manway, and precut for easy onsite assembly
- Shipped in either 20ft or 40ft containers
