Tanks and reservoirs

Tanks and reservoirs are hydraulic structures designed for the storage of various liquids. They are commonly classified as above-ground and underground, and by design as vertical or horizontal. Reservoirs may also be double-wall or multi-compartment, consisting of two or more chambers.

The selection of the type and design of tanks and reservoirs is determined by the purpose of the stored liquid, required volume, operating conditions, and applicable regulations and standards. During the design process, calculated loads, temperature conditions, the aggressiveness of the medium, and site-specific constraints are taken into account.

Above-ground installations are typically used when quick access to equipment, visual inspection, and ease of maintenance are required. Underground solutions are applied in cases of limited site area, the need to comply with sanitary buffer zones, and to reduce environmental impact.

Vertical tanks are generally used for large storage volumes, while horizontal tanks are applied where building height is limited or when placement on technological sites with specific layout requirements is required. Multi-compartment designs allow for flow separation, organization of technological zones, or volume accumulation, thereby increasing operational reliability.

Double-wall reservoirs are used to enhance environmental safety and enable monitoring of potential leaks during the storage of water, wastewater, reagents, and other substances. This design reduces the risk of emergency situations and facilitates compliance with industrial and environmental safety requirements.

Materials of construction are selected based on the chemical composition of the stored medium, climatic conditions, and the design service life. The use of anti-corrosion coatings and protective layers ensures structural durability and stable equipment operation throughout the entire lifecycle.

Storage and accumulation of various liquids

The operation of tanks and reservoirs is based on ensuring the safe reception, storage, and discharge of liquids while maintaining their specified physicochemical properties. Engineering solutions provide compensation for thermal expansion, resistance to internal and external loads, as well as protection against leaks and external impacts.

Liquid inflow and outflow are carried out through process nozzles and pipelines, allowing the installation to be integrated into existing engineering systems. Depending on the application, the units may be equipped with level, pressure, and temperature monitoring devices, ensuring stable and controlled operation.

To prevent emergency situations, overflow protection, emergency drainage, and ventilation systems are provided, along with measures for corrosion and contamination protection. In climatic conditions with significant temperature fluctuations, thermal insulation solutions and, where necessary, heating systems are additionally applied.

This operating principle ensures reliable and long-term performance with minimal maintenance requirements while complying with industrial and environmental safety standards.

• High strength
• Resistance to aggressive liquids
• Long service life (up to 50 years)

High mechanical strength of the structures ensures resistance to internal loads, external impacts, and deformation. This is especially important when handling large volumes of liquids and operating under variable temperature conditions.

The materials used and protective coatings provide reliable resistance to aggressive media, including wastewater and chemical reagents, without degradation of operational performance.

A long service life of up to 50 years is achieved through a well-engineered design, the use of corrosion-resistant materials, and compliance with design and operational requirements. This helps reduce repair frequency and minimize maintenance costs throughout the entire lifecycle of the facility.

Engineering solutions allow for adaptation to specific site conditions, simplifying installation, maintenance, and integration into existing engineering systems.
