Dry fertilizer storages should keep fertilizer dry.

Moisture is the enemy of dry fertilizer. It ruins product and corrodes equipment. Maintaining a dry environment is critical for improving fertilizer quality, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing overall profits.

The Monolithic Dome is a composite structure of polyurethane foam and concrete. The foam protects the concrete from extreme day-night temperature cycles. The thermal mass of the concrete naturally evens out the remaining temperature differences. Without any additional equipment the Monolithic Dome will reduce and even eliminate condensation.

It also allows adding something unheard of in a fertilizer storage — air conditioning.

This blending plant in Bryant, Texas uses two, one-ton air conditioning window units purchased off-the-shelf from a local hardware store. These units are cheap to buy and replace, yet maintain a cooler, dryer environment inside. The owners report less equipment corrosion and improved fertilizer quality. Working inside is more comfortable, too.
