Key Components & Markings
1. Inner Tank: The primary liquid container, typically made of robust Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel to ensure compatibility with various media.
2. Outer Tank: The secondary protective shell, usually made of FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) or high-grade steel, providing the first line of defense against external corrosion and physical impact.
3. Interstitial Space: The sealed gap between the inner and outer tanks. This is the crucial feature that prevents leaks from reaching the environment.
4. Leak Detection Port: An access point connected to the interstitial space for installing monitoring sensors. It triggers an alarm if the inner tank leaks.
5. Manhole: A top-mounted access point for human entry, enabling internal inspection, cleaning, and maintenance.
6. Inlet: The pipeline through which fuel or liquid enters the tank. (Note: Inlet/Outlet configurations can be customized).
7. Outlet: The pipeline through which the stored liquid is drawn out for use.
8. Vent: Prevents excessive pressure or vacuum build-up inside the tank during filling and dispensing.
9. Level Gauge: An instrument used to monitor the exact volume of liquid remaining in the tank.
10.Saddle Support: The structural base/brackets that securely support the horizontal tank's weight and stabilize it on the ground or in a pit.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between a single-wall and double-wall tank?
A: A single-wall tank only has one layer of containment. If it corrodes or cracks, liquid leaks directly into the soil. A double-wall tank adds a second protective layer and a leak detection port. It offers superior environmental protection, meets strict EPA regulations, and significantly reduces the risk of soil and groundwater contamination.
Q: What capacity options are available for double-walled horizontal storage tanks?
A: Capacities are highly customizable. We typically offer standard sizes ranging from 5m³ to 100m³, but we can engineer larger tanks based on your specific project requirements and transport limitations.
Q: Can the tank dimensions be customized?
A: Yes. The diameter and length can be fully customized according to your site constraints, available space, and desired volume. Our engineering team will draft a precise design based on your drawings or dimensional requirements.
Q: What materials can be used for the tank?
A: The inner tank is typically made of Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel. The outer tank can be made of high-strength Carbon Steel or FRP (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic), which offers excellent corrosion resistance and is ideal for underground installations.
Q: Can a leak detection system be installed?
A: Absolutely. Our tanks are pre-engineered with an interstitial space and a dedicated leak detection port. We can integrate electronic or mechanical leak detection sensors and monitoring alarms to provide real-time 24/7 safety monitoring.
Q: Can you customize the tank fittings and accessories?
A: Yes, we offer full OEM/ODM services. We can customize the manholes, inlet/outlet nozzles, vents, level gauges, flanges, and even provide pre-fabricated platforms for pump and dispenser integration to match your specific piping system.
Q: Can the tank be used for diesel or gasoline storage?
A: Yes, absolutely. Our tanks are widely used for storing diesel, gasoline, petrol, jet fuel, lubricants, and other compatible chemical liquids. We will apply the appropriate internal coating materials based on the specific chemical properties of the medium you are storing.
Q: What coating is used for corrosion protection?
A: We use advanced anti-corrosion systems. This typically includes a high-grade epoxy coating for the inner wall (compatible with fuel) and a specialized polyurethane paint or FRP outer layer for the external shell to withstand harsh environmental conditions and soil chemicals.
Q: How is the tank packaged and transported?
A: The tanks are packed using steel frames, wooden pallets, or protective film wrapping to prevent scratches during transit. We export via standard 40ft containers or by bulk cargo vessels, depending on the tank size. Our team ensures the tanks are securely fixed and marked for safe global shipping.
Q: What information is required to get a quotation?
A: To provide an accurate quote, please send us: 1) The capacity (volume) you need, 2) The medium to be stored (e.g., diesel, water), 3) Installation method (above or underground), 4) Standard required (e.g., UL, CE, ASME), 5) Required accessories or drawings. We will provide a tailored solution within 24 hours.
Q: Do you provide installation and after-sales support?
A: Yes. We provide detailed installation drawings and manuals. For complex projects, our engineers can offer remote video guidance or on-site technical support. We also offer a strict warranty period (typically 1-2 years) covering manufacturing defects, and our after-sales team is available 24/7 to answer any technical questions.
