Tanks are used in innumerable ways in the chemical process industry, not only to store every conceivable liquid, vapor, or solid, but also in a number of processing applications. For example, as well as reactors, tanks have served as the vessels for various unit operations such as settling, mixing, crystallization (qv), phase separation, and heat exchange. Herein the main focus is on the use of tanks as liquid storage vessels. The principles outlined, however, can generally be applied to tanks in other applications as well as to other pressure-containing equipment. 

Diking is a common industry practice for spill retention around flammable liquid storage vessels. Regulations and codes require that exclusion zones be placed between storage vessels to maintain the structural integrity of nearby vessels or process equipment in the event of a fire within the dike (Welker, 1987). Studies of flammable vapor boiloff rates as a function of dike design have been used in the natural gas industry to evaluate optimal materials of construction (Arthur D. Little, Inc., 1974). In recent...

For sufficient depth (at least one diameter), the pressure reaches a maximum value given by = pfcgD/(4 LoKa). Note that this pressure scales with cylinder diameter, andnot height. This is a critical property to keep in mind in processing that diameter often controls pressure in a powder rather than depth. A commonplace example would be comparing the tall aspect ratio of a corn silo to that of a liquid storage vessel. The maximum pressure in the base of such a silo is controlled by diameter, which is kept small. 

A flow diagram of the process is shown in Figure 4. CO2 was supplied from a liquid storage vessel (V4), maintained at a pressure of approximately S MPa.

In a reasonably well-insulated cryogenic liquid storage vessel, all the heat inflow through the insulation from the roof, walls and base of the vessel is carried to the free liquid surface by convection processes.
