cocrete crude oil tanks design&construction

(OP)
i am going to get involved in the costruction of a cocrete crude oil tank and i dont have any information about it .i would be thankful to get any help

RE: cocrete crude oil tanks design&construction

parviz,

Some things to note about concrete tanks..

 - Usually more expensive than coated, welded steel

 - Piping inlets/outlets must be reinforced

 - Must be coated internally

 - Difficult to inspect

 - Difficult to pump from ( pump suction must be at the bottom of the tank)

Some things to think about when storing crude oil

 - You will collect water at the bottom of the tank

 - tank must have special coating

 - Tank will have air emmissions


Good Luck !!

My two cents to the above list:
Due to oil storage, the tank must be ensured to be leak free.  Very hard to achieve with concrete.
