Is a horizontal or vertical storage tank better for normal pressure and high temperature applications? Volume 100 m3, temperature 560°
Horizontal is fine, vertical is fine too; there’s nothing wrong with either.

How is it easier to install the vertical one?
Vertical storage tanks can be placed directly on the ground or a foundation, without the need for a saddle； Vertical type, moving along the height, with a small footprint.
With high temperatures and numerous welding points, leakage is likely to occur. The horizontal version is planned to be welded into a finished product by the manufacturer’s machinery
Each has its advantages and disadvantages; it depends on the requirements. In comparison, vertical models take up less space but are taller. For a vertical unit with a capacity of 100 cubic meters, a skirt base is necessary; it’s not necessarily true that such a design uses less material than a horizontal one. The piping required for a vertical unit is likely to consume more piping or steel support structures compared to a horizontal unit.
Insulation also needs to be considered; it seems that horizontal models dissipate heat more quickly!
It mainly depends on the owner’s requirements, which are based on the production process and the layout of the site
It mainly depends on the process flow, on-site layout, and ease of operation; there are no significant other differences.
