Storage tanks are generally used to store oil, gas, fuel, and chemical liquids or raw material to facilitate the functioning of a refinery. The purpose of a storage tank in the PWDU system is to provide for emergency storage of drinking water, to equalize demand, and to reduce the capacity and size of the treatment units by providing storage. While steel and concrete remain the most popular choices for tanks, glass-reinforced plastic, thermoplastic and polyethylene tanks are increasing in popularity. They offer lower build costs and greater chemical resistance, especially for the storage of specialty chemicals.
These tanks are used in production fields and hold the oil until it is delivered to tankers or into a pipeline. Storage tanks are also used as a holding area for crude oil before the refining process and they also hold refined products after it is processed. Storage is used in offices, data centers, edge environments, remote locations, and people’s homes. Storage is also an important component in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets. Consumers and businesses rely on storage to preserve information ranging from personal photos to business-critical data.
Tank containers are safe, reliable, and a cost-effective transport medium for moving bulk liquids around the world. Tank containers are designed, tested, and approved for the safe, economical, and efficient transportation of a broad range of liquid products.
