1Types of Storage Tanks in UAE
- Storage tanks are containers that are used to
store liquids and gases. Storage tanks are
designed in different shapes and sizes. - They are also built with different metals to make
them ideal for the safe storage of liquids and
gases. - Storage tanks may be above ground or designed for
storage underground.
2There are 8 kinds of storage tanks available
3Fixed Roof Tanks
- A fixed roof tank is the least expensive kind of
storage tank consisting of a cylindrical shaped
frame with a fixed roof that is cone or dome
shaped. - A breather valve is installed in the tank that
releases the excess vapor during slight
variations of temperature and liquid levels.
4External Floating Roof Tanks
- The roof of an external floating roof tank is not
attached to the tank. - The roof floats on top of the liquid that is
stored in the tank. - An External floating roof tank reduces the loss
of liquid by minimizing evaporation.
5Internal Floating Roof Tanks
- An Internal floating roof tank has both a fixed
roof and a floating roof. - The floating roof floats on the liquid inside the
tank which rises and falls with the level of the
liquid.
6Domed External Floating Roof Tanks
These kinds of tanks are mostly constructed from
aluminum with a light weight roof for the purpose
of removing rain or snow load off the roof or for
blocking the wind.
7Horizontal Tanks
- Horizontal tanks are constructed such that the
length of the tank is not more than 6 times of
the diameter of the tank. - These tanks are fitted with pressure vacuum
vents, gauge hatches and manholes to provide
accessibility to the interiors of the tank. - They can be used for both above and underground
storage.
8Pressure Tanks
Pressure tanks have a wide variety of
applications and are used in diving cylinders,
recompression chambers, distillation towers,
autoclaves, and many other vessels in mining
operations, oil refineries and petrochemical
plants.
9Liquefied Natural Gas Tanks
- These tanks are specifically designed to store
liquefied natural gas and can also be used above
or underground. - They are built with two containers with the inner
container storing the liquefied natural gas and
the outer container is filled with insulation
materials.
