Chemical storage tanks can be classified in a variety of ways, mainly including the following:
Classification by location: chemical storage tanks can be divided into above-ground storage tanks, underground storage tanks, semi-underground storage tanks, offshore storage tanks, submarine storage tanks, etc.
According to the classification of oil products: it can be divided into ** storage tank, fuel storage tank, lubricating oil tank, edible oil tank, fire water tank, etc. This classification is mainly based on the type of oil stored in the tank.
Classification by use: It can be divided into raw material tanks, finished product tanks, intermediate product tanks, waste tanks, etc. This classification is mainly based on the use of storage tanks in the chemical production process.
Classified by form: it can be divided into vertical storage tanks, horizontal storage tanks, etc. This is classified according to the shape and structure of the tank.
In addition, there are some other classifications, such as classification by temperature (normal temperature storage tank, low temperature storage tank, high temperature storage tank), classification by pressure (atmospheric storage tank, low pressure storage tank, high pressure storage tank) and classification by storage tank material (such as polyethylene storage tank, rubber storage tank, FRP storage tank, ceramic storage tank, polypropylene storage tank, stainless steel storage tank, etc.). These classifications are based on the specific properties or uses of the tank.
In general, chemical storage tanks are classified in a variety of ways, depending on the purpose and criteria of the classification. The different classifications help to better understand and select the right type of tank to meet specific chemical production needs.
