A storage tank is a device used to store liquid or gaseous media such as oil, natural gas, and chemicals. It is an important facility for oil depots, gas stations, natural gas stations, and fuel backup stations. According to the characteristics of the building, it can be divided into above ground tanks and underground tanks. Ground mounted storage tanks: Ground mounted oil storage tanks have a simple structure, are easy to install, maintain, and repair, but have certain deficiencies in safety and corrosion resistance. Underground storage tanks: Underground oil storage tanks are commonly used for installation in urban gas engineering, gas stations, refueling stations, and other places. Its main characteristics are high safety, small footprint, and no damage to the environment, but the construction requirements are more stringent and equipment maintenance is more difficult.
