Atmospheric pressure storage tanks
Atmospheric pressure storage tanks
(OP)
We are intending to build storage tanks for storage of Vegetable oils. The tanks steel grades are suggested ASTM- A283 Grade c or BS 4360 Grade 40. The Dia of the tanks shall be 15 meter and height as 18 meter. Please advise if I can get some info about the suitability and compatability of these grades and which grade shall be most suitable and economical. Is there any grade which is most economical for storage tanks for palm oil. Can I get some design tips for heating coils for such tanks
Can some body guide me on the parties who can supply these cut and bent steel
plates for local fabrication.
Thanks and regards

RE: Atmospheric pressure storage tanks
Normally Stainless steel or other food grade material is used for storage of palm oil. This is to prevent contamination. Where are you placed?
RE: Atmospheric pressure storage tanks
This solution cannot be justified if you have very frequent start-stop occations in normal run. In that case heating collars are better.
