Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks have the following advantages:
1. Flexible utilization of space
The horizontal design enables it to be installed and deployed in spaces with limited height. Compared to vertical storage tanks, horizontal storage tanks have lower requirements for plant height and are suitable for placement in low rise factories, simple warehouses, or industrial sites with height restrictions. They make full use of the horizontal space and make the site layout more flexible.
2. Easy installation and transportation
Easy installation: Horizontal storage tanks are generally manufactured as a whole and transported to the site, where they can be placed on the ground without the need for complex assembly work on site like large vertical storage tanks. The installation process is short and easy, which can effectively shorten the project duration.
Convenient transportation: The overall horizontal structure allows it to easily adapt to conventional transportation modes such as highways and railways. During transportation, it has better compatibility with height and width limiting facilities along the way, reducing the risk of tank deformation and damage caused by transportation.
3. High stability and safety
Low center of gravity: Horizontal placement makes the center of gravity of the storage tank closer to the ground. Compared to vertical storage tanks, its wind and earthquake resistance performance is significantly enhanced. When encountering natural disasters such as strong winds and earthquakes, it is less likely to tilt or shake, reducing the risk of safety accidents such as leaks and explosions caused by tank instability.
Strong pressure bearing capacity: Thanks to the reasonable design of the horizontal cylinder, the stress distribution is more uniform when subjected to internal pressure. The tank can withstand higher working pressures and safely store various medium and high-pressure liquid media, ensuring safe production and operation.
4. Significant cost-effectiveness
Low manufacturing cost: Horizontal carbon steel storage tanks have relatively simple manufacturing processes, without the need for large lifting and assembly equipment assistance. The labor cost and equipment loss cost are lower, making the overall manufacturing cost more advantageous compared to vertical storage tanks of the same volume.
Low maintenance cost: The simple structure and limited number of accessories make daily inspections and maintenance work easier, reducing the manpower and material resources required for maintenance. In the long run, it saves a lot of operation and maintenance expenses.
5. Convenient operation and monitoring
Intuitive liquid level observation: Most horizontal storage tanks are equipped with specialized liquid level observation windows, allowing operators to easily and accurately check the liquid level height inside the tank without the need for complex equipment. This facilitates timely monitoring of the storage status of the medium and making corresponding operational adjustments.
Easy to install supporting facilities: such as import and export pipelines, valves, instruments, and other supporting facilities, installed on the side or end of horizontal storage tanks, with ample operating space, making installation and maintenance more convenient, and various instrument readings are also easier to observe.
