Type of storage tank for high TVP products

Type of storage tank for high TVP products

(OP)
Dear all,

I have a doubt regarding the most suitable type of tank (technically, economically) to storage products with a vapor pressure at the storage temperature close to the atmospheric (80 kPa<TVP<150 kPa). In this case, as far as I know floating roof tanks are not suitable so I suppose there could be two options:

- Pressure storage in spheres, without any type of vent
- Pressure storage in a vertical fixed roof tank (API620) with a closed vent system.

Do you know of the common practice in this type of storages? Are spheres or fixed roof tanks more usual?I have storage capacities ranging from 4000 m3 up to 15000 m3 (of course, I would have to split it in several spheres)

Thank you for any help.
