Vertical steel welded tanks
The tanks are used to store crude oil, fuel oil, diesel fuel, kerosene, bitumen, tar, various oils (including edible), water and other products in a liquid state.
Such tanks are often used for storage of crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, jet fuel. The pontoon is a rigid, gas-tight floating disk-shaped covering placed on the product mirror inside the cylindrical tank so that at least 90% of its area is covered.
The vertical tanks of such design are used at production sites where it is impossible to provide secondary containment for a tank farm. Such double wall cylindrical tanks are built in ecologically sensitive areas, for example, near water basins and residential settlements, to ensure environmental and human health safety.
The design of the tank assumes the use of a roof located on the surface of the stored product with full contact.
