Horizontal Storage Tanks

Safety Solutions for Storage Tanks

Horizontal storage tanks need consistent protection against pressure Pressure (gauge pressure) Pressure for which the value is equal to the algebraic difference between the absolute pressure and the atmospheric pressure. changes, vacuum Vacuum Vacuum is the pressure in an enclosed space that is lower than the ambient pressure. formation, and ignition risks during all operations. PROTEGO® solutions ensure safe, controlled operation by addressing these risks in a coordinated system, designed for longterm asset integrity.

Safety Strategies for Underground Storage Tanks

Underground storage tanks introduce distinct operational challenges. Filling, draining, and venting activities occur in confined environments where vapor accumulation Accumulation Pressure increase over the MAWP of the vessel allowed during discharge through the pressure-relief device. and limited accessibility increase the importance of reliable protection at clearly defined points. 

Horizontal storage tanks equipped with PROTEGO® devices for industrial applications and safety enhancement.

Highlights

Operational Challenges in Confined Spaces
Underground tanks face unique challenges like vapor accumulation and limited accessibility.
