Abstract
A sealed tank includes a concrete footing, a steel or concrete shell ring and a sealed and corrosion-resistant dome having a double membrane. There is an inner membrane delimiting, with the surface of the liquid effluent contained in the shell ring, a sealed chamber intended to receive biogas that results from the methane fermentation or from a corrosive environment. An outer membrane envelopes the inner membrane and which, when pressurized, applies a given pressure to the volume of biogas or of corrosive environment contained in the chamber.
