Maxwell Continental Tank Serv Engineering B.V. products

Our Maxwell MRS-1/750 Mechanical-Shoe Seal, also known as a “metallic shoe seal”, is characterized by a metallic sheet (the “shoe”) that is held against the vertical tank wall. The mechanical shoe seal height is 750 millimeters (mm). The shoe is connected by braces to the floating deck and is held tightly against the wall by springs or weighted levers. A flexible coated fabric (the “envelope”) is suspended from the shoe seal to the floating deck to form a vapor barrier over the annular space between the deck and the primary seal. Our Maxwell MRS-1/750 Mechanical-Shoe Seal is suitable for tanks without appreciable tank shell distortion or where the product stored is particularly aggressive. Unsuitable for distorted tanks shells or where shell coatings have been applied. The MRS-1/750 can become equipped with counterweights or with a coil spring or pusher bar system as the sealing pressure is more constant over time.

Since 1999, Maxwell Continental Tank Serv Engineering has built this HEX type Full Contact Internal Floating Roof (IFR), designed out of aluminium sandwich panels with a honeycombed core, floating in full contact with the liquid. Maxwell’s Full Contact IFRs are pre-fabricated at our design and manufacturing facility to ensure maximum quality control and due to this to guarantee an efficient installation. We use custom extrusions and design each IFR to exact customer specifications and applications meeting or exceeding EPA, API, ASME and Aluminum Association guidelines.

Maxwell Aluminium Geodesic Dome Roofs for storage tanks are innovative clear-span structures custom designed to each individual tank within the requirements of API 650 Appendix G.
