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
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 !!

Due to oil storage, the tank must be ensured to be leak free. Very hard to achieve with concrete.
