The diesel tank needs to have a total storage capacity of 6,000 cubic meters. Is it better to build 2 tanks with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters each, or 3 tanks with a capacity of 2,000 cubic meters each?

It depends on the conditions of your site; there are regulations regarding things like the distance between storage tanks

In addition to considering factors such as the site and the distance between storage tanks, it is also necessary to take into account whether there is sufficient time for starting up and shutting down the production process as well as for dealing with products that do not meet quality standards. For example, it is important to ensure that the storage tanks for raw materials, defective products, and finished products have sufficient capacity to meet the production requirements – all of these aspects need to be considered together

Personally, I think it’s better to produce 3 units at 2000 each; for simple storage, 2 units at 3000 each is sufficient

We mainly focus on storage, not production~~

Taking into account one’s own premises and the surrounding environment, as well as construction costs, technical requirements, and past operational experience, it is necessary to determine the appropriate approach by referring to regulatory standards. Please give some advice if you have any experience in this area

The safe liquid level in each storage tank is generally kept between 85% and 90%. Additionally, factors such as the site conditions, environment, and construction costs must be taken into account. It is recommended to build two tanks with a capacity of 3,000 cubic meters each; the actual amount of oil that can be stored in them can reach up to 5,400 cubic meters
