Steel Tanks

Steel tanks are storage containers made with steel, a strong material, by steel tank manufacturers. This is something that G-Tech Manufacturing can do for you.

Good steel tank manufacturers like us build steel tanks to certain standards, and steel tanks are used in many different industries for holding various different substances. One common use of steel tanks is for holding petroleum products in the petroleum industry. Steel tank manufacturers can also make other products pertinent to industrial applications, and that’s also something we do.

 

Uses of Steel Tanks and Steel Tank Manufacturers

Steel tank manufacturers like G-Tech Manufacturing make steel tanks for many purposes. One such purpose is for storing oil in oil depots. These are also known as oil terminals, installations and tank farms, and the store oil or other petrochemical products.

Petroleum products at oil depots may be awaiting transportation or awaiting use. Oil depots are often way points for barges, railroads, road tankers and pipelines.

Marine tankers discharge their cargo at oil depots. Oil depots are regulated to ensure that petroleum products there are stored and handled safely, without leakage into the environment.

Highly flammable materials like gasoline and aviation fuel or especially monitored for safety. Certain standards in the design and construction of steel tanks are important for steel tank manufacturers making steel tanks for use in oil depots.

 

Steel Tanks and the Petroleum Industry

Steel tank manufacturers also make steel tanks for oil refineries, which are also known as petroleum refineries. These are industrial process plants that refine crude oil into petroleum products such as gasoline, diesel fuel, liquefied petroleum gas, kerosene, propane, aviation fuel, heating oil, asphalt base, tar, petroleum coke and naphtha.

Oil refineries are often next to oil depots for ease of access to crude oil and as a storage place for refined petroleum products. Crude oil that is refined at a refinery is first processed at an oil production plant. All of these steps can make use of steel tanks produced by steel tank manufacturers that are specially designed for safe use in the petroleum industry.

Processed crude oil is cleaned of contaminants and solid waste materials and water and natural gas is separated out. Our steel tanks may be exactly what you need.

 

Steel Tank Manufacturers and the Petroleum Industry

Steel tank manufacturers like us can build steel tanks for many steps in the process of the making of petroleum products. Oil extracted at oil wells may also be stored in steel tanks in preparation for transport to an oil production plant or an oil refinery before the crude oil in question is processed and refined. Oil refineries refine crude oil into other petroleum products besides fuels as well.

There are also lubricants such as machine oils, greases and motor oils and petrochemicals used in the production of plastics, paraffin wax, mineral oil, sulfur, sulfuric acid, solvents, detergents and synthetic fibers.

 

Steel Tanks and Manufacturing

Oil refineries use steel tanks and can also use other equipment from steel tank manufacturers in their operations, as steel tank manufacturers can make other steel products such as certain types of process equipment and other equipment as well.

There are many pieces of equipment that we can manufacture for you. Other machines and tools are useful in various processes of the petroleum industry. Storage tanks may hold liquids that are either compressed or not and also compressed gases, such as natural gas.          Storage tanks that do contain a liquid or gas that is under pressure are known as pressure vessels.

Storage tanks may be aboveground or underground, and come in various shapes, sizes and pressure-handling capabilities.

Storage tanks are often made of steel. There are standards for steel tank design and construction set by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, or ASME, for wall thickness, testing procedures, quality control measures, product fabrication and design criteria and accreditation.
