There are 8 kinds of storage tanks available
3
Fixed 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.

4
External 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.

5
Internal 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.

6
Domed 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.
7
Horizontal 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.

8
Pressure 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.
9
Liquefied 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.
