Technical FAQs 4

What type of storage tank is used for crude oil?

Pressurized Storage Tanks: Used for storing volatile crude oil fractions (a group of hydrocarbons separated from the oil during fractional distillation) that require containment under pressure higher than atmospheric pressure. Open-Top Tanks: Less common for crude oil storage, these tanks are primarily used for temporary containment.

What are petroleum storage tanks?

Petroleum storage tanks are specialized tanks used to store crude oil and its refined products. The types of storage tanks for petroleum products PDF resources often classify these tanks based on their design and function, including: Crude Oil Storage Tanks: These large-volume tanks are designed to hold unrefined petroleum before processing.

Why are oil storage tanks important in the refining industry?

In the refining industry, oil storage tanks are indispensable for containing large volumes of flammable liquids within the oil supply chain. These units enable safe operation in production, transportation, distribution, and storage of strategic hydrocarbons.

Why is hydrocarbon storage important in energy logistics?

Hydrocarbon storage is critical in energy logistics. In oil fields, small, modular tanks are used, while in refineries and terminals, large-volume tanks welded on-site predominate. In addition, in urban distribution centers, compact, buried or vertical tanks are used, adapted to reduced spaces and with automated measurement and safety systems.
