 INTRODUCTION

1).Liquid and gaseous products must be stored during intervals between production ,transportation ,refining ,
blending and marketing.

2). The objective of storage at each of these stages is firstly to supply a sufficient balance of each stock to
ensure that the product is conserve and maintained at an acceptable level of quality.

3).Generally, the storage of liquid and gaseous products is done in large sized vessels.

4). These consist of units either completely fabricated in the shop or manufactured on site.

5).Materials used to make a storage vessel depends upon the product being stored in it and the surrounding
environment, upon these factors a vessel can be made of stainless steel, aluminum or nickel.
TYES OF
STORAGE
VESSELS FOR
LIQUID STORAGE
• free roof cylindrical tank
• Standard fixed roof storage tank
• Variable volume tanks :
1.) vapor lift roof type
2.) floating roof type
Vapor lift type gas
storage tank

• In this type of tank the roof is not made to be fixed

but is movable and is free to move with the level of
the fluid.
TYPES OF
STORAGE
VESSELS FOR
GASES
Spherical vessels or Hortonspheres:-used
for storage of gases in the range of 1 to 10
atmosphere

 •The design and construction features of the tanks
are given in detail in the following codes :
1) Indian standard-803

DESIGN OF TANKS 2) API standard-650

STORAGE VESSEL
2. SHELL DESIGN

2.1 INTERNAL LOADIND

The internal pressure in the tank is computed on the assumption that the tank is filled to the full height by
the fluid stored. The pressure varies from maximum at the lowest point to minimum at top . The thickness of
the tank must be determined according to the pressure variation . The shell is constructed by welding
different courses with suitable thickness
2.2 EXTERNAL LOADING
a).Where tanks are subject to high wind velocities, the shell may be stiffened to prevent failure by buckling
when empty.
B).Heavy loads from platforms and elevated walkways shall be distributed appropriately.
• 2.3 SHELL JOINTS
• Horizontal and vertical joints between shell plates
are of the butt types
• 2.4 WIND GIRDERS FOR ONEN TOP TANK
• These tanks are provided with stiffening rings to
maintain roundness when the tank in subjected to
win. Wind girders are used to prevent buckling
failure of tank wall caused by wind load
2.5 ROOF CURB ANGLES
• closed top tanks the tank shells are provided with top curb angles
2.6 SELF SUPPORTING ROOF DESIGN
• 2.7 roof loading

• 2.8 stresses in cone roof

• 2.9 area of curb angles

COLUMN
SUPPORTED ROOF
 • 1) Shell manholes
NOZZLES AND • 2) Inlet and outlet

MOUNTINGS • 3) Drain
• 4) Overflow connection
