Storage Tanks

Introduction
Crude oil tanks are usually used in the oil fields as intermediate storage tanks for the produced treated clean oil. These tanks are installed upstream of the main booster pump station. They serve as feeder tanks prior to transferring the clean oil by the main oil trunk lines to the farm tanks for sales. Also they are used for crude oil storage at the shipment terminal farm tanks. Generally, storage tanks have walls with suitable thickness. They are high to eliminate oil spill / fire spreading out as a safety precaution measure in case of a
tank burst, oil leakage or fire in the tank. In addition, storage tanks are connected to the plant fire fighting system, so that suitable action can be made in the event of fire in a tank.
