Tank Design and Piping Layout
Storage Tanks
Storage tanks are essential containers used for storing various fluids. They find applications in a wide range of industries, including petroleum, water, chemicals, and more. Here are some key points about storage tanks:
Types of Tanks:Cone Roof Tanks: These low-pressure tanks are commonly used for storing petroleum, water, food products, chemicals, and petrochemicals.
Floating Roof Tanks: Designed to reduce fire hazards, these tanks have a roof that floats based on the volume of stored products. They are prevalent in oil refineries.
Low-Temperature Storage Tanks: These tanks store cryogenic fluids like liquefied ammonia, propane, and methane.
Horizontal Pressure Tanks (Bullet Tanks): Elliptical or hemispherical high-pressure tanks.
Hortonsphere Pressure Tanks: Used for storing large quantities of fluids under pressure.
Underground Tanks: These collect drainage from the plant at atmospheric pressure.
