Guide to Storage Tanks and Equipment
European Guide Series (PEP)
Guide to Storage Tanks and Equipment has been designed to
provide practical information about all aspects of the design,
selection and use of vertical cylindrical storage tanks.
Other tanks are covered but in less detail. Although the
emphasis is on practical information, basic theory is also covered.
Guide to Storage Tanks and Equipment is a practical
reference book written for specifiers, designers, constructors and
users of ambient and low temperature storage tanks. The book
is aimed at everyone who has technical problems as well as those
wanting to know more about all aspects of tank technology and also
those who want to know who supplies what, and from where.
Steel storage tanks are an important and costly part of oil
refineries, terminals, chemical plants and power stations.
They should function efficiently and be trouble free at their
maximum storage capacity to ensure that these installations
can have their planned maximum production capacity.
