Steel cylinder tanks – not just for oil!

No material has a longer track record at fluid storage than steel. For decades, double-walled steel cylinder tanks, whether below or above ground, have guaranteed safe, trouble-free storage of any type of liquid. Because of these container systems’ outstanding characteristics, they are suitable not only for the most common, best-known storage materials, such as heating oil, diesel fuel and carburettor fuel. They are also good for many other liquids, such as biofuels, vegetable oils, alcohols, benzenes and solvents, to name just a few.

Decisive for evaluating chemical stress from the stored fluid are norm DIN 6601 and appendix B of DIN EN 12285-1. This list of materials contains hundreds of fluids that can be stored in untreated steel cylinder tanks. Furthermore, adding appropriate interior coatings can multiply the possible applications many times over.

Water management Drinking water, waste water, swimming pool water, thermal spring water, extinguishing water Unalloyed structural steel with - interior epoxy coating with/without KTW certificate
Rain water use Rain water, grey water Unalloyed structural steel with - interior epoxy coating
Agriculture Liquid fertilizer, liquid manure, silage, sludge Unalloyed structural steel with - interior epoxy coating
Heating facilities Heating oil Unalloyed structural steel with/without interior epoxy coating
Filling stations Diesel fuel, biodiesel, bioethanol, carburettor fuel, petrol, AdBlue Unalloyed structural steel with/without interior coating
Airports Airplane fuel Unalloyed structural steel with/without interior epoxy coating
Cogeneration units Vegetable oils Unalloyed structural steel with/without interior epoxy coatingg

To determine and choose the wall material and any interior coating, precise information on the material to be stored (safety data sheet) and the operating conditions is necessary.

For special water or waste water, a water analysis is needed.
