SUPPORTS DESIGN FOR SPHERICAL VESSELS
(OP)
Please let me know some good reference book/paper/guide for the support design of spherical vessels? (the vessel is made up of two hemispherical heads butt welded to each other, diameter is 5 meter)
design code is ASME VIII-1.
Thanks in advance.
design code is ASME VIII-1.

I don't know about all companies, but the ones I know that build spheres are very secretive about information relating to their design and construction. Generally, FEA is used for the details, but you could probably get a lot of ideas by doing a google image search for spherical vessels.
Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Use of skirt would be a costly solution as comapred with legs because we want to place the vessel at a certain height of 2 meter (2 meter clear space between the ground and bottom of the vessel, I mean)

Red Lead works wonderfully; it is outlawed in the USA because "somebody might eat it".
RE: SUPPORTS DESIGN FOR SPHERICAL VESSELS
Shortly after that, there was a case where painters blasted lead paint off a water tower and contaminated a whole neighborhood with lead dust, and that introduced extensive shrouding requirements to the area. (And has also introduced extensive OSHA rules dealing with lead-paint-removal workers). So I just expect our US goverment got to spend about a half million dollars at some point removing that lead paint that some kid wouldn't eat.

The use of Red Lead is allowed here in Pakistan.
How it works wonderfully, please explain a little.

It does require a chemical 'strip' when it finally needs to be removed, or you cause what JStephen mentioned. An expensive, heavy-metal mess.
