TANKS

Industrial storage tanks are containers used for storage of gas, oil, water, and petrochemical products, employed for industrial uses. Industrial storage tanks come in different sizes and shapes. They can be underground, horizontal, and vertical, and be made from concrete, stone, fiberglass, steel or plastic.

A typical chemical storage tank can mix, process, store and transport raw materials and chemical products. Such products and materials include wastewater, crude oil, hydrochloric acid, petroleum and propane.

Tank terminals are facilities where petroleum products, chemicals, gases and other liquid products – i.e. liquid or gaseous substances – can be stored and handled. Tank terminals consist of a number of individual tanks, generally above ground, that are usually cylindrical. Tanks can be made of different materials.
