Storage tanks are an overlooked part of any refinery or chemical plant. They don’t make boatloads of money, but they are an integral part of keeping a process running smoothly and provide a buffer to help minimize lost production and shutdown time. Adequately sizing raw feed, intermediate product, and final product storage tanks should include a number of scenarios which are often overlooked by “rule-of-thumb” type considerations. This presentation is an introduction to the various design considerations for storage tanks including types, sizing, breathing calculations, and safety considerations encountered when evaluating tanks in a manufacturing facility.
