02. KLM Technology Group, 2011. β 87 p.
Introduction: This design guideline covers the sizing and selection methods of a storage tank system used in the typical process industries. It helps engineers understand the basic design of different types of storage tank systems and increases their knowledge in selection and sizing.
The selection section contains the explanation for the suitability of types of tank system used in processing industries, which are based on the environmental regulations, location, and process materials involved. All the important parameters used in this guideline are well explained in the definition section which helps the reader understand the meaning of the parameters and the
terms used.
The theory section includes sizing theory and formulations for the tanking systems design. In the application section, three cases examples are included by guiding the reader step by step to do tank sizing.
In the end of this guideline, example specification data sheets for the tank system are included which is created based on an industrial example. Calculation spreadsheet is included as well and to aid user more understand and to apply the theory for calculations.
