Dome Technology has produced a project summary highlighting a second dome built for American Crystal Sugar in Montgomery, Illinois, USA, a move that doubled the distribution facility’s storage capacity.
This dome, with its 75,000-metric-ton capacity, was built adjacent to a nearly identical DomeSilo from a 2017 collaboration between the companies. The new dome is 184 feet in diameter and 146 feet tall.
Dome construction was just one part of the project puzzle for Dome Technology. Rail delivers sugar to the site, DomeSilos store it, and trucks primarily distribute it. Dome Technology adapted infrastructure to also provide a rail loadout option so ACS could empty the domes prior to new production runs.
