Storage Tank

Dr. Rachman Setiawan

Introduction
 Vertical, aboveground atmospheric-pressure storage
tanks are commonly used in processing facilities.
 For more than a century, storage tanks have been in use
within the petrochemical industry, fulfilling their intended
purpose: to store products
 By definition, an atmospheric tank has a design pressure
less than 2.5 psig
 Most ASTs are
constructed out of welded
steel plates. Older tanks
have riveted or bolted
seams and newer tanks
are welded.

Scope of Mechanical Design


 Tank Sizing: diameter, height
 Basic configuration
 Material selection
 Wall thickness calculation: thickness for each course
 Other components design: bottom plate, roof, column,
rafter, etc.

Design Process

Capacity Consideration
 Nominal capacity: capacity as printed on the tank wall
 Geometry capacity: the volume of vertical cylindrical
section
 Storage capacity: the volume from the tank bottom to
the maximum design level
 Net working capacity: the volume between HLL and
LLL or HHLL and LLLL

Rachman Setiawan 2020 4


TM3407 Perancangan Tangki dan 15/10/20
Bejana Tekan

Capacity Consideration
 The overfill protection capacity of a tank is that between max.
operation level (H2) and the design liquid level (H1).
 The design liquid level is set higher than the normal operating
liquid level to provide a safety margin for upsets.
 The overfill section is filled with vapor under normal operating
conditions

Tank Capacity

Rachman Setiawan 2020 5


TM3407 Perancangan Tangki dan 15/10/20
Bejana Tekan

Capacity Consideration
 For an in-process tank, net working capacity = required
retention time of the liquid x flowrate.
 For large, off-site storage tanks, the net working capacity is
determined by performing an economic analysis, including
items such as the savings in bulk transportation costs, the
size and frequency of shipments, and the risks of a plant
shutdown.
 In some cases, use multiple
tanks, if the size of a single tank
is physically unrealistic, or if
separate tanks are needed for
other reasons, such as
dedicated service or rundown.

Roof Type Selection

19

Roof Type Selection


 Cone Roof Tank (CRT)
 This type is used for liquid whose vapor pressures are
relatively low such as Gas oil and heavier, water,
chemicals and lubricating oil
 Reffering to the graphs above, if the contents are
stored in the lean area at the maximum expected
storage temperature, CRT can be applied
 If the contents belong to the rich area, yet using CRT,
nitrogen/gas blanket shall be applied.
 This tank type shall also be used for non-flammable
liquid such as chemicals, water. However, the vapor
pressure shall be checked by the same way of
flammable liquid.
20

Rachman Setiawan 2020 10


TM3407 Perancangan Tangki dan 15/10/20

Roof Type Selection


 Floating Roof tank (FRT)
 This type is usually used for storing liquid having high
vapor pressure such as Crude oil, Gasoline and
naphtha.
 In a tropical atmosphere, Kerosene may be stored in
this type
 This tank type has no vapor space, so vapor loss can
be minimized, however small amount of rain water
contamination through the roof seal is unavoidable,
unless using internal floating roof.

21

Roof Type Selection


 Dome Roof tank (DRT)
 This type is used to store liquids having around 1
kg/cm2 absolute vapor pressure, because it is
applicable for higher design pressure up to 0.15
kg/cm2 gauge (1500 mm of water column). Therefore,
this type is mainly used for refrigerated liquid storage.
 This type may also be used for liquids having low
vapor pressure instead of cone roof type, if the tank
cost is lower than the cone roof type.

Oil/Fuel Storage Facility

Oil/Fuel Storage Facility


 Pump & Piping
 Pump & piping is used to transfer liquid:
 from the delivery source to the ASTs at the facility (transfer or
fill piping),
 between tanks and dispensing pump (manifold piping),
 and from facility tanks to other associated tanks and other
sources (distribution piping).
 Pipes are buried or aboveground. Aboveground
piping should be supported up off the ground and
protected from moving vehicles such as trucks.
 Valves control the flow of oil between tanks and other
tanks, delivery barges and other sources. The most
common type of valves are ball valves and gate
valves.

Oil/Fuel Storage Facility


 Secondary Containment
 The purpose of secondary containment is to prevent
petroleum products from flowing onto the land or into
the water if there is a spill through dikes.
 The following must be met:
 Large, high and strong enough to hold the contents of the
largest tank plus 10% for local precipitation.
 constructed or lined with material that will hold products and
prevent them from seeping into the ground, e.g. high-density
polyethylene (HDPE),
 May use additional concrete walls and slabs, along with a
leak detection system

Oil/Fuel Storage Facility


 Auxillary Equipment
 Fencing: lockable, to keep unauthorized people,
vandals and animals out.
 Lighting: sufficient lighting to prevent vandalism and
help detect spills at night.
 Signs: “No-smoking” signs must be posted around the
facility so they can be seen from every side of the
tank farm. Also “Danger”, “Warning” or “Authorized
Personnel Only” signs must be posted to warn
unauthorized individuals from entering the facility.

Operating Condition
 Operating Temperature
 Density of the contents in a tank is defined by the
Operating temperature and is used as the base for
tank sizing and the tank wall thickness calculation
 Operating temperature shall be selected from:
 Run-down temperature from process units
 Ambient air temperature (annual mean or annual highest
mean temperature)
 Receiving temperature from a tanker (if the contents receives
from a tanker)

Operating Condition
 Operating Temperature
 Density at the highest operating temperatures is used
for tank sizing
 Density at the lowest operating temperatures is used
for the tank wall thickness calculation.
 However, in the following cases, the density at the
highest temperature shall be used for both tank
sizing, and wall thickness calculation
 The tank has a heater to maintain the storage temperature.
 The tank only receives run-down fluid from process units.
 The tank has a temperature compensating level indicator.

 The maximum and the minimum storage
temperatures shall clearly be mentioned in the offsite

tolerated, then the tank material is upgraded to
stainless steel or a high alloy.
 Alternatively, carbon steel tanks can be lined with

Maintenance & Repair (API653)


 Tank Foundation Evaluation
 Principal causes:
 Settlement
 Cracking and deteriation of concrete. Initiated by calcining,
attack by underground water, frost, alkalies & acids.
 Concrete pads, ringwalls, and piers, showing spalling,
cracks, or general deteriotion, shall be repaired to
prevent water from entering the concrete structure
and corroding the reinforcing steel.
 Anchor bolts, check for:
 Distortion
 Excessive crack of concrete structure

Maintenance Management
 Inspection/maintenance periods
 formal visual external inspection at least every 5 yrs
or at the quarter corrosion-rate life of the shell
(whichever less)
 Insulation may be remove for inspection of the
exterior wall or roof
 Cathodic protection system requires periodic surveys
acc. API RP 651
 Tank electrical grounding shall be visually checked
