About products and suppliers

Oil storage tanks are commonly used in petroleum industries such as petroleum producing and refining industries and petrochemical and chemical manufacturing industries. Such oil storage containers come in different sizes ranging from 2 to 60 meters in diameter. Hence, they can serve both commercial and domestic purposes.

Different types of oil storage tanks

In general, there are two types of oil storage tanks according to where to put the tanks. They are above-ground storage tanks and underground storage tanks. Above-ground oil storage tanks can be indoors or outdoors. Indoors large oil tanks are mostly installed in basements, utility rooms, or garages. The storage capacity ranges from 165 gallons to 400 gallons. Outdoor crude oil tanks are sturdy, durable, and can withstand extreme temperatures. They are installed near the facilities or homes. Underground oil tanks are buried underground. Such bulk oil tanks can store up to 1000 gallons of fuel, and they are larger than above-ground storage tanks. Heating oil tanks can be located above ground or underground. They are used to store heating oil, which is a common type of petroleum fuel for a home’s furnace. Home heating oil tanks are an important part of a home heating system, and they make it possible to provide heat for the house effectively and efficiently. There are different sizes of heating oil tanks, and the 275-gal heating oil tank is a popular choice.

Materials of oil storage tanks

Most waste oil tanks are steel tanks because steel is cheaper than other materials. Steel can be used to make both underground and above-ground oil storage tanks. Fiberglass is favored by the market because it can produce tough and durable oil storage tanks. One of the great advantages of fiberglass oil storage tanks is that they are resistant to rust, leakage, and sediment. Most double-walled oil tanks are made from a combination of steel and fiberglass. The steel oil storage tanks will be covered by a layer of fiberglass. Therefore, such oil storage tanks are leak-proofed because if the inner tank is punctured, there is an outer tank to provide protection.
