Storage tanks above-ground

Myers, P. E. (1997) Above Ground Storage Tanks (McGraw-Hill). 

Most states are also developing regulations for above-ground storage tanks used for petroleum fuels and hazardous materials. These regulations typically include provisions for secondary containment, overfill protection, and spill protection.

Sulfur burners are fed with 410 K molten sulfur, near the viscosity minimum but safely below the steep viscosity increase. Sulfur temperature is maintained by circulating 420 K steam through sulfur storage tank steam pipes just ahead of sulfur burning. Below ground or insulated above ground storage tanks are used. 

Seaports handle large amounts of petroleum products and have facilities on site to store these products. At the Port of Los Angeles alone, for example, there are —500 above-ground storage tanks with a capacity to hold 500 million gallons (1.9X 10 L) of product (Rice, 1991). Despite this, the lasting effects of oil spills on the open seas may be less than the effect of the many subsurface leaks and spills of petroleum products or the atmospheric pollution caused by the use of petroleum products, oil spills on the open seas... 

At the American Creosote Works site, groundwater was pumped from a well to an above ground storage tank where a quiescent period of several hours allowed oil and suspended solids to coalesce and separate. The feedwater stream to the filtration unit was drawn from the mid-section of the storage tank to minimize introduction of these materials. The pump that drew material from the tank also provided the compression for the system to operate, approximately 750 psig.
