cone bottom plastic tank

This floating structure must be constructed of metal (except for the perimeter sealing material) and must be sufficiently buoyant to prevent it from sinking when half of the pontoons or floats are punctured and flooded. Most fires in this design of tank burn only at the seal area and are usually easily extinguished.
A tank with an internal floating pan or one that uses plastic foam for floatation is considered to be equivalent to a fixed roof tank. This is because metal pan roofs are prone to sinking and because foamed plastic and similar floatation devices will not withstand the conditions imposed by fire. Though not recognized by Part 4, these can serve as good conservation and environmental devices.


The requirements for vents from underground storage tanks differ slightly from that for aboveground storage tanks. The reason for these differences may be attributed to the following: buried tanks never have a cone roof or a floating roof, they are generally of the horizontal cylindrical type, they cannot be seen when being filled or emptied, and the contents are less affected by weather conditions.

During the filling process, the flow of some liquids through a pipe can generate a static charge in the liquid, particularly at high velocities and if the flow involves two or more phases. The manner in which this liquid is added to the tank can cause turbulence and splashing, particularly if the fill pipe terminates well above the liquid surface. The free-falling liquid breaks up into fine droplets that become a charged mist. Where possible, it is considered good practice to extend the fill pipe to within 15 cm of the bottom of the tank to avoid splash filling.
