☑️ What is storage tanks?
A tank is a container designed and built to store fluids. Today, polymer tanks have various uses all over the world and their use is increasing day by day. In general, there is no fixed and uniform classification for repositories. These tanks differ according to the geometric shape, or the materials used in its production, the fluids that are supposed to be kept inside, and the environment in which the tank is placed. For example, polymer tanks are divided into polyethylene, fiberglass, septic tanks, etc., and in another type of classification, they are divided into single-layer, two-layer, three-layer, etc.
☑️ Introduction to the types of storage tanks
Reservoirs are divided according to various factors, some of which are mentioned below:
The types of tanks in terms of the type of material that can be stored include many types, some of which include oil and gas tanks, urban water storage tanks, etc.
Types of tanks based on their appearance can include items such as cubic, cylindrical, etc.
Tanks are also classified according to the type of use and location, some of which include base, towing, and wheeled tanks.
The storage tanks according to the type of material included plastic and metal tanks, each of which is mentioned below:
Metal tanks
steel
galvanized
Steel
Plastic tanks
PE
Fiberglass
☑️ Usable tanks
Polyethylene tank
Polyethylene tanks are used to store and maintain water and fluids that are compatible with polyethylene. Their use is mostly in agricultural, chemical and water conservation industries.
☑️ Composite or fiberglass tank
☑️ Septick tank tank
The septic tank, which is generally made of polyethylene, concrete, etc., is offered to the market in different sizes to collect wastewater.
☑️ stainless steel tank
The stainless steel tank is used to store liquids. The main and basic element in its construction is chrome, which prevents steel from rusting.
☑️ Cylindrical tanks and spherical tanks
Tanks are produced in different types according to the appearance, but according to the pressure range, if between 0.5 to 50 pounds per square inch. PSig) it is recommended to use a cylindrical type, but if the pressure is higher than the desired range, due to high pressure tolerance, it is better to use a spherical type because it has the ability to be made on site due to its high volume. Also, these tanks are a suitable option to prevent soil freezing because this type does not need a foundation and has no connection with the soil, for this reason, they are suitable for the storage of oil industry materials, water and wastewater treatment, chemical fertilizers, etc.< /span>
☑️ Cold storage tanks
If the boiling point of the material in question is very low and even below zero, cold tanks can be used because these materials must be kept in a liquid state, but they are in the form of gas at ambient temperature. The method used includes the following:
At high pressure ambient temperature
Low temperature and atmospheric pressure
Types of cold storage tanks include storage tanks for the following materials:
Ethylene tanks
oxygen
Nitrogen
Argon
Hydrogen
