1. What are the general safety requirements for methanol storage tanks?
Methanol tanks are available in various materials: plastic, and those with a steel lining. Those with a steel lining have a relatively high cost, while plastic tanks are not any cheaper than those with a steel lining. We specialize in plastic tanks, which are often used for storing methanol, and they feature increased wall thickness.
Vertical steel storage tanks are a good choice. However, considering capacity and design life, other materials can also be considered. From a safety perspective, they are flammable and explosive. Consider using an internal floating disk to prevent evaporation.
So far, no special requirements for methanol storage have been observed
