1 Special features
pressed gases (gas tank) or mediums used for the shortor long-term storage of heat or cold.[1] The term can be
used for reservoirs (articial lakes and ponds), and for
manufactured containers. The usage of the word tank for
reservoirs is uncommon in American English but is moderately common in British English. In other countries, the
term tends to refer only to articial containers.
In the USA, storage tanks operate under no (or very little) pressure, distinguishing them from pressure vessels.
Storage tanks are often cylindrical in shape, perpendicular to the ground with at bottoms, and a xed or oating
roof. There are usually many environmental regulations
applied to the design and operation of storage tanks, often depending on the nature of the uid contained within.
Above ground storage tanks (AST) dier from underground (UST) storage tanks in the kinds of regulations
that are applied.
2 For reneries
Tanks for a particular uid are chosen according to the
ash-point of that substance. Generally in reneries and
especially for liquid fuels, there are xed roof tanks, and
oating roof tanks.
1. Fixed roof tanks are meant for liquids with very
high ash points, (e.g. fuel oil, water, bitumen
etc.) Cone roofs, dome roofs and umbrella roofs are
usual. These are insulated to prevent the clogging
