Process tanks
Process tanks are called tanks or reservoirs. They are used in the process of collecting the discharged material from the raw material storage tank or in-process equipment before transferring the material to other equipment in the process or product storage tank. These tanks are a type of industrial containers with general applications. Depending on the dimensions, direction, location and configuration of the wall can have different types.
Types of process tanks
Process tanks as well as main storage tanks are among the types of metal structures. Which play a vital role in chemical plants, oil refineries and other types of facilities, and a large part of the investment in these industries is spent on these reservoirs. As a result, their quality is very important because the slightest problem in these tanks can cause irreparable financial and even loss of life.
The main use of these tanks is for temporary storage of liquids or gases from processes. And since the leakage of such materials is easily possible, so these tanks should be closed as much as possible to prevent any gas leakage or evaporation and liquid leakage into the tank.
There are special regulations for the type of materials used in the construction of storage tanks and process. Which usually depends on the type of material stored in the tank.
Like other storage tanks, steel is mainly used to make process tanks. But the use of materials such as fiberglass, thermoplastic, polyethylene, titanium and galvanized sheet is also considered.
The type of materials used, the weight of the tank, the structure, etc. are all factors that determine the price of the process tank or other types of tanks.
Attributes
The most important parameters to consider when determining storage tanks and process tanks are their capacity and dimensions. The capacity of a tank is equal to its internal volume to store materials.
Storage tanks and process tanks can be vertical or horizontal. Vertical tanks are placed in the form of cylinders on the ground. And typically have access ports at the bottom. Horizontal tanks are often mounted on a pedestal or saddle and can have access ports at the bottom or top. Depending on the type of construction, the location of the tanks is usually either on the ground or underground. Portable tanks can be moved from place to place via wheels or other moving equipment.
The structure of the tank wall may determine the proper use of the tank. Single wall tanks are used for ordinary applications that do not require special sensitivity. Double-walled tanks are used in cases where higher pressure considerations are required.
Application
In addition to the aforementioned industries, process tanks are used to produce pharmaceuticals, food and beverages, cosmetics, oils and fuels, paper and pulp, as well as plastics. These reservoirs are sometimes used to generate electricity or various water industries.
