As Sinopec Qingdao Refining and Chemical Company accelerates its VOC mitigation efforts this October, OKET A&Z is spearheading the installation of full-contact fiberglass-reinforced plastic (FRP) floating roofs in its storage tanks. Nearing completion, this project highlights OKET A&Z’s commitment to VOC source control, environmental protection, and safety standards.

Designed specifically for large-diameter tanks and external floating roof applications, the VAP-O-LOC FRP roof exemplifies OKET A&Z’s technological innovation. The composite roof leverages a seamless, heat-set construction, producing a full-contact surface that prevents leaks and limits emissions at the source. Made from advanced composite materials, it features high resistance to corrosion, fire, and explosions, and meets stringent safety certifications such as BS476 Part 7, ASTM E84, and NFPA standards.

With 90% of the FRP roof components prefabricated in the factory, OKET A&Z ensures not only a faster and safer onsite installation but also exceptional consistency and quality. This modular approach greatly reduces the installation timeline and impact on site operations, further supporting Sinopec Qingdao’s VOC containment and environmental goals.

In alignment with the high standards required for chemical industry safety, the VAP-O-LOC floating roof integrates non-weld, non-spark procedures during installation. The roof meets demanding fire resistance standards, offering a fire endurance exceeding two hours and demonstrating durability against pressures up to 1.5 MPa in case of explosion.

Through this installation, OKET A&Z demonstrates its expertise in high-stakes environmental technology, setting new standards in VOC source management and offering a cutting-edge solution that reinforces Sinopec Qingdao’s commitment to operational safety and environmental stewardship.
