A steel container for storing liquids and gases is used both in industry and in households. Unlike polymers, metal resists negative physical stress much better. In addition, horizontal steel tank can be located both on the surface and underground. Thus, significantly saving the limited space used by the company.
Variety of designs
Most often, containers for storing liquids are distinguished by their usable volume. It is this technical characteristic that is the main one when choosing the necessary equipment. Manufacturers produce a fairly wide variety of designs, primarily for the safe storage of petroleum products, both in ground and underground versions. Other features worth adding:
Tank for storing gas under medium and high pressure.
- Availability of technological holes for access to the middle of the tank.
- Special connecting pipes for pipes and hardware.
- Containers for collecting potentially hazardous liquids for their disposal.
- Tank for storing clean, drinking water.
It is very important that the wall thickness of the steel containers correspond to their intended purpose. Some types of tanks have an additional internal and external protective coating, which contributes to the preservation of the metal base. Significantly extends their service life. Protects against rust and corrosion.
Application in practice
It is difficult to imagine modern industry, agriculture and numerous other manufacturing enterprises without the use of containers for storing a variety of neutral and aggressive liquids. A well-chosen tank is able to store liquefied gas or under pressure, without any negative consequences for itself. In addition, it is worth highlighting the following areas of application:
Pharmacological enterprises;
- production of fertilizers, liquid and bulk;
- safe storage of petroleum products;
- food production;
- livestock farms and complexes.
Storing a sufficient supply of clean water will allow you to be independent of the liquid supply in other alternative ways. This is especially important for some types of industries and for fire safety purposes in some types of factories.
