Large scale storage installation for liquefied gap e.g. butane - in horizontal tank bedded on compacted sand and buried in soil

摘要

The installation comprises at least one horizontal cylindrical tank. At one end the tank is encircled in a reinforced concrete cradle. The remainder of the tanks length is supported on a bed of compacted sand on which the tank rests freely. The tank is completely buried in soil. The sand bed is pref. compacted at 2.5 kg per square cm. and sloped away at an angle of about 4 deg. The installation is for storing a very large vol. of liquefied gas such as butane and propane. Easily installed without excavations. The final installation is extremely safe and unobtrusive.
