Petroleum Industry Regulation 6.4.2 Loading and unloading stations: 1. The distance between the loading/unloading crane positions and the buffer tanks should be no less than 5 meters, while the distance between the elevated tanks should be no less than 0.6 meters. What are buffer tanks and elevated tanks, and what is the purpose of installing them?
The main function of a buffer tank is to stabilize pressure； Elevated tanks are generally used when a small amount of material needs to be supplied; they are employed when using pumps would not be economical, allowing for gravity-fed flow. I have seen many elevated tanks used to store acids and bases.
Is an elevated tank a type of buffer tank?
An elevated tank is a type of short-term storage tank； The buffer tank is used for pressure stabilization; it may operate continuously
