Steel Vertical Tank Design

Introduction

Steel vertical tanks (PBC) are one of the most popular and common types of capacitive equipment. They are widely used in a wide variety of industries. In particular, they are used to store various substances in the liquid phase. These can be production products that are awaiting transportation, or vice versa, source materials.

It is difficult to name at least one branch of heavy industry where vertical cylindrical tanks would not be in demand. In the oil, oil and gas processing industries, as well as in petrochemicals, vertical reservoirs for oil products are most often used. They contain both crude oil and refinery products. Also in these tanks are stored intermediate products of cracking and reforming, chemical synthesis, and so on.

There are quite a wide variety of types and types of vertical tanks. They differ in a number of features, including wall thickness, bottom shape, the presence of additional nozzles and valves, and so on. The use of this vertical tank is limited by its technical characteristics and the scope recommended by the manufacturer. Vertical tanks are manufactured to perform specific tasks and store strictly defined types of liquids. However, the purpose of the vertical tanks may vary sufficiently wide when it comes to liquids with similar properties.

The main characteristic on which to rely when buying is the volume of the tank.

The description of the vertical tank must contain an indication of the main characteristics, as well as indications of the operating conditions.

Conclusion

As a result of the course project, we received a vertical steel tank with a volume of 2000. Alloy steel 09G2C was used as the material of the design. The tank is designed for the effect of wind, snow and other loads, optimal dimensions are chosen, and strength and stability tests are also performed. In addition, the tank is equipped with equipment that allows it to perform all the main technological functions.
