Selection principles for mechanical oil storage tanks

2019-03-13View Original

Thread Content

Dear experts, I have similar questions regarding tank selection. I am working on the design plan for the oil depot. With the following types of oil and storage capacities, how should I choose the storage tanks? Is my plan reasonable? Can a horizontal storage tank be used? Based on what criteria is the selection made? Oil products, annual turnover volume, density, turnover coefficient, total capacity: 10# machine oil – 2800, 0.89, 4, 980; choose 2 500m3 dome tanks. 20# machine oil – 3000, 0.93, 4, 948; choose 2 500m3 dome tanks. 15# gasoline engine oil – 3000, 0.92, 3, 1278; should 4 300m3 dome tanks be chosen, or 2 500m3 dome tanks? 8# diesel engine oil 2800 0.92 3 1193 Should we choose 4 dome tanks of 300m3 each, or 2 dome tanks of 500m3 each? 11# Diesel engine oil: 3000, 0.92, 4,959; use 2 dome tanks of 500m3 each. 25# Transformer oil: 1200, 0.89, 3,528; use 2 dome tanks of 300m3 each

The total capacity is quite high compared to the annual turnover; in my opinion, the size of the tank chosen is too large.
