A tank farm is a collection of large, above-ground storage tanks used to store liquids, gases, or other substances. They are commonly found in industrial settings, such as:
- Petroleum refineries: Tank farms store crude oil, refined petroleum products, and other hydrocarbons.
- Chemical plants: Tank farms store various chemicals, such as acids, bases, and solvents.
- Water treatment facilities: Tank farms store treated water, wastewater, or stormwater runoff.
- Agricultural facilities: Tank farms store fertilizers, pesticides, and other agricultural chemicals.
- Military bases: Tank farms store fuel, ammunition, and other military supplies.
Tank farms typically consist of:
- Storage tanks: Large, cylindrical or spherical containers made of steel, concrete, or fiberglass.
- Piping and pumping systems: Used to transfer liquids and gases between tanks and other facilities.
- Control systems: Monitor and regulate tank levels, temperatures, and pressures.
- Safety equipment: Fire suppression systems, emergency shutdown systems, and other safety features.
Tank farms require careful design, construction, and operation to ensure the safe storage and handling of hazardous materials.
