A new standard in water storage

Genap is proud to introduce a groundbreaking water storage system that brings together two powerful innovations: a fully insulated silo and the Genadome PRO, a freestanding dome that protects and stabilises water in every climate.

The combined system answers key challenges in modern horticulture and beyond: energy efficiency, water quality, and climate resilience. It is suitable for a wide range of sectors, from horticulture and aquaculture to water treatment, and performs reliably in diverse climates across Europe, the Americas, Asia, the Middle East, and Australia.

Triple insulation for optimal water and energy management

The insulated silo is designed with full thermal protection on all sides – walls, bottom, and a floating insulated cover. This triple-layer insulation drastically reduces heat loss, maintains stable water temperatures year-round, and minimises evaporation. The system not only preserves water quality but also reduces energy consumption, making it ideal for storing both cold and warm water. Thanks to this design, the silo can even function as a thermal buffer for energy storage, supporting sustainable energy systems such as CHP units or renewable sources.

In addition to its practical benefits, the system brings clear sustainability gains. It protects irrigation water from contamination and evaporation, reduces energy use by limiting heat loss, and supports responsible consumption of resources. By enabling sustainable water and energy management practices, it helps growers future-proof their operations and contribute to climate goals.

The GenaDome PRO: Innovative protection without structural load

What sets this solution apart is the GenaDome PRO. Unlike traditional domes that rest on the silo’s upper ring, the GenaDome PRO is entirely self-supporting. This eliminates any structural load on the silo and makes it easier to meet static requirements, especially important in larger diameters and demanding climates.

In combination with the insulated silo, the GenaDome PRO creates a fully enclosed and thermally protected system. Its freestanding design allows the wall and top insulation to remain continuous and effective, improving temperature stability and energy efficiency. At the same time, it shields the water from dirt, light, and weather, ensuring long-term quality and reducing maintenance. Together, the insulated silo and Genadome form an integrated solution for growers who prioritise water quality, durability, and climate resilience.

Designed for versatility and ease of use

The system is versatile and practical. It is suitable for new installations as well as retrofits on existing silos, making it a flexible solution for growers looking to upgrade their water management. Its modular construction ensures quick installation with minimal disruption, and the use of corrosion-resistant, durable materials keeps maintenance requirements low. Importantly, the system operates entirely without electronics—smart by design and easy to maintain.

Independently validated performance

To ensure the system’s effectiveness, it has been scientifically validated by Wageningen University & Research, confirming its ability to maintain stable water temperatures, reduce energy consumption, and enhance water quality. This independent verification offers growers extra assurance that the system performs as promised, delivering measurable benefits.

With its unique combination of full insulation, structural independence, scientific backing, and broad adaptability, the insulated silo with GenaDome PRO is more than just a storage solution—it’s a complete, future-ready system for growers who demand reliability, efficiency, and environmental responsibility in one integrated package.
