History of Ultraflote

For over 45 years, Ultraflote Corporation has been a pioneer in the development of aluminum dome roofs and floating cover systems for industrial, municipal, and petrochemical tank applications. Headquartered in Texas, Ultraflote was one of the first manufacturers to successfully commercialize aluminum geodesic domes—structural covers that are lightweight, self-supporting, and ideal for use in corrosive or vapor-sensitive environments.

Over time, the company expanded its product line to include the Ultraflote® Internal Floating Roof and the Geotruss™ Rectangular Cover System—each designed with a focus on emissions reduction, structural stability, and minimal maintenance. Today, Ultraflote is a global brand with installations in thousands of facilities worldwide, serving industries from wastewater treatment and oil storage to chemical processing and power generation.

Ultraflote’s advanced engineering, high-quality aluminum construction, and modular assembly systems have made their tank covers the standard for sustainable tank management and compliance-driven infrastructure. Backed by decades of innovation and field performance, Ultraflote remains a go-to solution for containment and vapor management challenges.

FAQ: Ultraflote Tank Cover Systems

What is a geodesic dome roof for a tank?

  • A geodesic dome is a lightweight, self-supporting aluminum structure used to cover large storage tanks, protecting contents from weather and reducing evaporation.

What are the benefits of aluminum tank covers?

  • Aluminum covers are corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and require little maintenance compared to steel or fiberglass alternatives.

How do internal floating roofs reduce emissions?

  • They float directly on the stored liquid surface, reducing vapor space and limiting the release of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Can Ultraflote domes be used on existing tanks?

  • Yes—Ultraflote dome roofs are ideal for retrofits and new tanks, with custom configurations to fit virtually any design.

What’s the difference between a dome and a flat cover?

  • Domes are structural and self-supporting, often used for circular tanks, while flat covers are modular and often used for rectangular basins or smaller tanks.

Are Ultraflote covers compliant with environmental regulations?

  • Yes—Ultraflote systems help facilities meet EPA, Clean Air Act, and AQMD regulations for emissions and vapor containment.

Can these covers be walked on for maintenance?

  • Many Ultraflote cover systems are designed for limited foot traffic and include access panels, handrails, and walkways as needed.

What industries benefit most from Ultraflote roofs?

  • Water utilities, oil & gas terminals, chemical plants, wastewater treatment facilities, and food processors all use Ultraflote solutions.

How long do Ultraflote covers last?

  • With proper installation, Ultraflote aluminum tank covers can last 25+ years with minimal maintenance.
