Frequently Asked Questions – Storage Tank for Power Plants & Boilers
1. What type of tank is used for heavy fuel oil (HFO) storage in power plants?
HFO storage typically uses large vertical cylindrical tanks (API 650) with cone roofs, steam heating coils, insulation, and secondary containment bunds. Capacities range from 500 m³ to 10,000+ m³ depending on plant size.
2. What material is best for DM water storage tanks?
For DM water storage, SS304 is standard. The internal surface should be pickled and passivated to maintain water purity. Nitrogen blanketing is recommended to prevent CO2 absorption and maintain resistivity.
3. Do you provide tanks for FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) additives?
Yes. We manufacture limestone slurry storage tanks and ammonia/urea storage tanks for FGD and SCR systems. These tanks are typically SS304 or rubber-lined MS depending on the chemical service.
4. What is the typical delivery time for a power plant storage tank?
Small tanks (up to 50,000 liters): 20-25 days. Large tanks (50,000-500,000 liters): 30-45 days. Very large field-erected tanks: 60-90 days depending on capacity and site conditions.
