• Storage tanks are tanks that are used for storage
  of liquids as well as gases. These tanks come in
  various shapes and sizes but mostly are cylinder
  shaped and have flat base. The roof of these
  tanks is either fixed or floating type. There are
  two types of storage tanks, the ones used for
  storing material underground make use of
  underground storage tanks and materials which are
  stored above the ground make use of above ground
  storage tanks. The design as well as the
  operation of the tank depends upon the type of
  material its going to store. The various design
  types include open top and closed top, slope
  bottom, dish bottom, flat bottom, cone, bottom
  tanks as well as vertically cylindrical and
  horizontally cylindrical tanks. The tanks that
  have to withstand hydraulic hydrostatically
  induced pressure inside them are generally
  vertically cylindrical in shape with rounded
  corners. There are various different tanks used
  for different applications like water storage,
  chemical storage, storing gaseous substances and
  more.
• There are these tanks known as Mixing Tanks also
  and as the name itself suggests these tanks are
  used for mixing different materials together. The
  most commonly used material for making mixing
  tanks is stainless steel, even though it can be
  made of plastic, hard rubber, etc. Most of the
  manufacturing units make use of storage tanks for
  mixing the raw material together smoothly and
  then use it for creating a spectrum of products.
  The use of mixing tanks varies as per the
  industry type. For example in a bakery the mixing
  tank would be used to mix yeast, flour and water
  in pre-calculated quantities while making bakery
  products. Similarly, this is applicable for
  various other industries like beverage or
  chemical or petrochemical, water as well as waste
  water plants, power plants or natural gas plants
  also.

  could cost industry a fortune. Though, there are
  a lot of vendors who sell used storage tanks that
  are in good shape. So, when there is a tight
  budget to be worked upon, companies generally
  tend to go for used storage tanks, Used Stainless
  Steel Tanks, liquid storage tanks after checking
  out the duration for which they are used and what
  material was stored in these tanks and how old
  these tanks are. There are specialists who can
  identify the quality of the storage tanks and if
  they can be reused without any kind of problem
  whatsoever.
• Used storage tanks find their applications in all
  kinds of industries from food, pharmaceutical,
  plastics, beverage, winery, fermentations,
  propane and more.
