Atmospheric Fuel Oil Tank

Atmospheric Fuel Oil Tank

Atmospheric Fuel Oil Tank

(OP)

In our boiler plant, there are two fuel-oil ( aboveground, flat bottom )storage tanks.
The tanks are around 14m in height and 10m in diameter. We will add an additive to fuel oil. In order to do this we are going to take an 8" branch from the existing line, this line will pass through an equipment to get the additive and later climb to the top of the tank. So the fuel oil will be fed to the tank from the top. The main problem is How can we get the 8" line climb to the top of the tank. There will not be much vibration during operation. How will the tank mechanical integrity react  if we go ahead and attach this pipe w/supports on tank body? I need info and starting point on this. Will appreciate your guidance on this matter.
Thanks
