Storage Tank
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.
Applicable Codes
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
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
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.

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.

Shells
Shells are usually made of mild steel, e.g. A-36, with
sufficient corrosion allowance is added to the
thickness of the structure.
If product contamination due to corrosion cannot be
tolerated, then the tank material is upgraded to
stainless steel or a high alloy.
Alternatively, carbon steel tanks can be lined with
corrosion-resistant materials such as rubber, plastic
or ceramic tile.

Venting
Venting Capacity
Due to air temperature:
The venting quantity shall be calculated based on the
maximum vapor volume of the tank, in other words the vapor
space at the minimum operation liquid level,
Reference to API Std 2000 "Venting Atmospheric and Low-
pressure Storage tanks" (or JIS 8501 Design of Steel Tanks)
Tank filling and emptying operation
Equivalent air flow rate to the maximum liquid filling rate and
emptying rate are the capacity requirement
of out-breathing and in-breathing respectively
TotalCapacity: summation from 2 above ‘Normal
max. venting capacity requirement’

Venting
Emergency venting:
Emergency venting requirement:
Emergency vent(s) or pressure relief devices

Venting Atmospheric and Low-pressure Storage
tanks"

Gas Blanket
A nitrogen or fuel gas blanket is applied to avoid
oxygen contact at the surface of stored liquid in a
cone or dome roof tank.
The capacity is given by the maximum inbreathing
requirement as calculation above.
