Types of Storage Tanks

This document discusses types of atmospheric and low pressure storage tanks used to store fluids such as crude oil, refined products, chemicals, and water. It identifies that storage tanks come in various types, sizes, and materials depending on factors like the volatility of the stored fluid and desired storage pressure. Specifically, it examines atmospheric storage tanks that can have linings, cathodic protection, or leak detection systems and lists types like cone roof tanks, umbrella roof tanks, geodesic dome roof tanks, self-supporting dome roof tanks, annular pontoon floating roof tanks, and double deck floating roof tanks.

Types of storage tanks

Storage tanks are used to store fluids such as crude oil, intermediate and refined
products, gas, chemicals, waste products, water, and water/product mixtures.
Important factors such as the volatility of the stored fluid and the desired storage
pressure result in tanks being built of various types, sizes, and materials of
construction. In this document, only atmospheric and low pressure storage tanks
are considered.
Guidelines for inspection of tanks operating at pressures greater than 15 lbf/in. 2
(103 kPa) gauge are covered in API RP 572.

1. Storage Tanks with lining and/ or Cathodic Protection.


2. Storage Tanks with Leak Detection System.
3. Storage Tanks with auxiliary Equipment
