(Barry Byers)
Because it''s virtually identical to natural gas, methane''s role in our world''s economy is becoming increasingly necessary and important. Methane can actually replace natural gas. It can be used to run generators or in heating facilities.
Where/How do we get methane we so sorely need? Many processes across the world generate methane. But currently, most methane comes from sewage treatment plants. They produce it, then store it in specially designed methane storages.
Monolithic has been building methane storages for city sewage treatment plants, in various locations, for more than 25 years. See a sample of Monolithic''s Dystor methane storage projects.
Our world today demands the use of more methane and more methane use demands more methane storage. The cattle industry produces huge amounts of methane, that, in the past, was simply released into the atmosphere. Now companies are building digesters to digest cattle waste. Methane is first stored and then burned in big generators, and the leftover waste is then used as fertilizer. This is far more beneficial to our world than just allowing the methane to drift into the sky. Methane is considered far more harmful to our environment than carbon dioxide.
Huge composting sites that cover hundreds of acres are also producing methane. The waste from our civilization is composted and, where possible, methane is captured and stored for use in generators and/or heating.
Today we have companies that can take waste tires and subliminate them. In one step, they actually convert the tire from a solid to a gas. Obviously tire parts, such as the steel cording, don''t get turned into methane, but the biggest part of the tire is transformed into methane that can then be utilized for power. This same thing happens with virtually every other organic waste product.
We are beginning to see more such projects, along with methane storages, used at many locations, and many more on the drawing boards.
Monolithic designs and builds methane storages. They are shaped as three-fourths of a sphere with a flat bottom attached to a flat concrete pad.
They consist of two Monolithic Airforms. The outer Airform is kept inflated at all times. It protects the inner Airform and provides the space that the inner Airform needs in order to operate.
Monolithic''s 25 years of experience in designing and building a methane storage that meets the needs of a specific project is an immense advantage to the customer.

A concrete foundation to support the Monolithic Methane Storage Bubble is poured in proximity to the Methane Production Tank and near a Generator that will power the farm/ranch. (Barry Byers)
The Inner Airform is attached to the foundation and pipes are welded to the base. (Barry Byers)
The Outer Airform is then attached to the foundation and over the Inner Airform. (Barry Byers)
The Outer Airform is filled with pressure-controlled air using hoses connected to a separate air supply system. (Barry Byers)
Air pressure is released through the Air Return Hose, allowing the Inner Airform to fill with methane gas piped in from the Methane Production Tank. (Barry Byers)
The Inner Airform can be completely filled with methane gas consuming the entire Monolithic® Methane Storage bubble. (Barry Byers)
Air is pumped into the Outer Airform, using the Air Pressure Hose, forcing the Inner Airform to pipe out methane gas that will be used to fuel a generator. The generator will provide electrical power to the entire farm/ranch. (Barry Byers)
While the population count of Avalon, Texas may be in doubt and small, its pride and interest in their school is not. Most recent proof of that is Avalon''s new Multipurpose Center, for its 250 students in pre-kindergarten to Grade 12. Designed by Monolithic Architect Rick Crandall and built with a 12'' stemwall, this Monolithic Dome measures 124′ × 25′ with a total height of 37 feet.
It''s new! Here''s a must-have, must-read ebook with down-to-earth information on just about anything and everything that has to do with designing and building your dream home.
For your dream dome-home, our library includes floor plans in a wide variety of sizes and shapes. That size-range includes small, cozy cottages, as well as spacious and spectacular castle-like domains and everything in between. But while sizes and shapes may vary, the benefits of a Monolithic Dome home remain constant. In addition to long-range savings, our very green Monolithic Domes provide energy-efficiency, disaster protection and more. This website has tools and hundreds of articles related to dome design. In addition, our staff includes professionals with experience and expertise that can help you design the exact floor plan you want and need.
Electrical wiring is more than power for lights, air conditioning, and toasters. It''s also phone calls, surfing the web, fire alarms, and a surround sound theater—any system where an electrical circuit is needed. With proper planning, wiring a Monolithic Dome—whether it''s a home, school, storage, or storm shelter—is straightforward.
Come and tour the shops, offices, and houses at the Monolithic Dome Research Park in Italy, Texas. This FREE tour is open to the public on October 19, 2024, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and includes the famous Bruco: The Texas Italian Caterpillar.
BYU''s Triple Dome, featuring a Monolithic Dome structure, showcases advanced energy efficiency and sustainable design. Built by over 50 students, this innovative eco-friendly home highlights BYU''s dedication to practical, hands-on learning in green building technologies.
Some friends of Monolithic own a rental house in Milford, Texas, that was in dire need of some attention to the Airform. The house is about 20 years old, and the Airform has never been coated. Over the years, UV and weather damage has left the polyurethane foam exposed and blistering. A great way to renovate the exterior of a Monolithic Dome Home like this one is to patch the Airform and install a synthetic stucco coating.
Italy High School intended to hold their graduation ceremony in their new, shiny stadium, but as the temperature continued to climb on Friday, it became clear it would be unsafe to hold the festivities outside. Late in the day, the school district sent an alert that graduation had been moved to the multipurpose Monolithic Dome gymnasium, the Gladiator Coliseum.

Storage tanks are used to hold crude oil and gas condensate and operate at or near atmospheric pressure. Emissions from storage tanks, predominantly flashing emissions, may be vented to the atmosphere to maintain atmospheric pressure in the storage tank. Replacing an atmospheric pressure storage tank with a pressurized storage tank and using a pressurized tank transport vehicle to receive the oil/condensate can significantly reduce emissions from methane and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Pressurized storage tanks require the use of pressurized transport of the liquids (e.g., tank trucks). A blanket gas system or vapor recycle line between the storage vessel and transport tank would be required to maintain tank pressure. Inert gases such as nitrogen can be used for tank blanketing. To prevent the gas blanket from seeping out, the tank manway cover should be fume-tight and sealed. Additionally, the pressure tank should be equipped with a pressure relief valve(s) calibrated for the specific operating conditions of the tank.
