LPG/PROPANE Above Ground Storage Plant Installation
LPG/PROPANE above ground storage tanks are horizontal pressure vessels which are intended for the pressurized storage of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG/PROPANE) under ambient temperature. In above ground storage facility, tanks are mounted on steel or concrete pedestal / support above the ground.
The safety distances as per norms are more than Mounded and Underground storage tank installation. This is because of the smaller vessel-to-vessel spacing and due to the smaller safety distance requirement between the mounded storage vessels and items such as control rooms, buildings, roads etc. Above ground storage tanks offer the possibility of partial or total off-site construction, depends on size of the tanks.
Features:
- Above ground storage installation cost is very less than mounded and underground.
- Painting, Visual inspection and preventive maintenance are very easy.
- Project installation time period is very faster.
LPG/PROPANE storage tanks are equipped with following basic equipment’s:
- Basis of Design / Design Philosophy of LPG/PROPANE Storage Plant.
- Temperature Gauge
- Rochester Gauge
- Roto gauge
- Safety Relief Valve
- Ball Valve
- Auto Shut-Off valve
- Excess Flow Check Valve
