ITEM NO 3A. DESIGN OF FUEL OIL STORAGE TANK

3.1 DESIGN AND OPERATING CONDITION

From Daihatsu Diesel Genset Catalogue:

Diesel Fuel Designation Heavy Fuel Oil

Brake Power 5,705 kWm

Specific Fuel Consumption @ 52 % Load 0.2375 kg/kW-hr

Temperature at which fuel is consumed 50 °C

18
3.2 DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS:

1. The fuel storage tank is designed to supply fuel on the engine good for (1) one month

operation with one provided for each engine.

2. Due to unexpected problem on delivery or any unexpected incident that would cause

delay, the designer decided to add a 25% contingency.

3. The designer decided to put a cylindrical diesel fuel oil storage tank vertically seated

above the ground considering the advantage in terms of maintenance. The dimension

is assumed to be H = 2d.

4. Corrosion allowance is constructing the vessels with thicker walls to allow for the

thinning. The Peters, Timmerhaus, and West suggest 0.25 to 0.38mm annually or 3mm

for 10 years. Use an average corrosion allowance of 0.315 mm.

5. The type of steel to be used is Carbon Steel (SA-283, Gr. D) with a tensile stress value

of 13,700 psi. To provide air space and other auxiliaries to the storage tank the designer

add an allowance of 0.75 meter to the computed height.

Therefore,
