Is it better to use vertical or horizontal storage tanks for liquid ammonia?
Thread Content
For a liquid ammonia storage tank with a capacity of over 20 cubic meters, is it better to use a horizontal or a vertical design? Vertical designs are more space-saving, but it seems this approach is rarely used

Horizontal tanks have more space at the top, which facilitates the installation of various connections – safety valves/blast discs, pressure gauges, pressure relief vents, manholes... Vertical tanks are much more limited in this regard.
For volumes of around 20 cubic meters, horizontal types are generally the better choice.
Horizontal types are generally used. The horizontal tank has ample space on the top, facilitating the installation of various connections – safety valves/blast discs, pressure gauges, pressure relief vents, and manholes.
The original poster should take a look at the post I shared, one about on-site inspection of liquid ammonia storage tanks.
For 20-cubic-meter liquid ammonia storage tanks, horizontal types are generally preferred as they facilitate pipe installation...
Most use bedrooms; if space is limited, vertical types can be used.
