In general, small scale storage tanks use horizontal tanks, while large scale storage tanks use vertical storage tanks. Vertical storage tanks cover smaller areas than horizontal storage tanks, but they must also account for wind load and static pressure during the design process.
The list below highlights some of the benefits of storing in stainless steel vertical storage tanks.
Due to the elimination of stress points found in horizontal and square tanks, the cylindrical vertical storage tank design provides even pressure distribution. This pressure distribution gives the tank more strength than a horizontal tank and contributes to its capacity to hold a large amount of product.
The ability to place the cylinder's base directly on a solid, flat surface is a key feature of the vertical storage tank design. This provides much better stress distribution than a horizontal tank, which would require special bottom support and could increase the likelihood of failure. This stability is a significant advantage of vertical storage tanks, particularly for liquids.
The thicker the walls of a stainless steel tank must be to withstand pressure as the diameter of the tank increases. Because vertical storage tanks are generally designed to be taller than they are wide, the tank walls must be thinner. Because less material is required to design and manufacture the stainless steel tank, it is less expensive to produce. The bottom plate is the only one that must be thicker than the cylindrical. A horizontal tank must have an all-around thickness equal to the thickness of the base plate
.Another benefit of its efficient design is that the height of a vertical tank has more potential energy, which helps reduce pumping costs by utilizing gravity. To put it another way, it produces more hydrostatic head than a horizontal tank.
Vertical storage tanks have a much smaller footprint, allowing you to use more equipment in your workspace. If your warehouse or production area can accommodate vertical storage tanks, you will save space and be able to set up more equipment. Overall, vertical storage tanks are advantageous in terms of design, cost efficiency, footprint, strength, utility and hydrostatic load efficiency. These stainless steel storage tanks meet the needs of professionals while exceeding expectations in terms of design and cost savings.
Here are the most important characteristics to look for in a high-quality vertical storage tank. If the tank you buy has these features, you'll be set for the season.
Extra-Thick Walls: Extra-thick walls provide unrivalled strength and durability.
Strong Roof Structure: The reinforced roof structure, which includes molded-in truss-like supports, prevents collapsing in extreme weather conditions.
Ribbed-Wall Construction: The ribs act as belts around the tank, keeping it in place. This helps to reduce bulging.
Warranty: This is a simple but important point. When storing expensive liquids, make sure you're covered.
Anchor-Point Lugs: It's easy to handle thanks to four hefty built-in lifting and tie-down points at each corner.
If your vertical storage tank has these top features, you'll have a strong liquid storage solution that will keep you moving during the season and avoid downtime.
