Horizontal Glass Lined Storage Tank

Corrosion-resistant storage vessels for storing corrosive or sensitive materials

Chemical, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical industries often deal with aggressive media that can wear down equipment over time, making corrosion resistance a critical factor in vessel design and material selection. For this reason, corrosion resistance is one of the first factors engineers consider when selecting storage or reaction vessels. Choosing the right material not only determines how long the storage vessel will last, but also affects product quality and, in some cases, the outcome of the chemical reaction itself.

Horizontal glass lined storage tanks are designed to handle the demanding conditions of industries where corrosive materials are stored. The shell is built from carbon steel, providing the structural strength needed for industrial use. Inside, a layer of enamel is fused to the steel at high temperatures, forming a smooth and chemically stable surface. This enamel lining prevents direct contact between the stored medium and the metal, reducing the risk of contamination and extending the service life of the tank. By combining strength and corrosion resistance, these storage tanks can safely store a wide range of aggressive chemicals while maintaining reliable performance.

These tanks are produced in capacities from 50L to 200,000L, with a maximum design pressure of 0.6 MPa. They can safely store media within a temperature range of 0 °C to 150 °C, covering the needs of many chemical processes. By combining strength, resistance, and adaptability, horizontal glass lined storage tanks have become a dependable choice for long-term industrial use.

Components

The horizontal glass-lined storage tank mainly consists of cylindrical glass-lined vessel, dished head, glass-lined manway, inlet and outlet nozzles, process nozzles and horizontal saddle supports.

The vessel body is installed horizontally and the saddles support the machine weight and connect the storage tank with the foundation. Level monitors, manways, multiple process nozzles, platforms, guardrails, access ladders and external heating or cooling system can be equipped depending on stored materials and practical requirements.

How do you choose models for a horizontal glass-lined storage tank?

The horizontal glass-lined storage tank models should not be selected only by looking at capacities. Material type, corrosiveness, density, viscosity, storage temperature, design pressure, storage time, inlet and outlet flow rates, insulation/heating requirements, level monitoring, and available installation space are factors to be taken into account.

Gongtang can configure the vessel capacity, length-to-diameter ratio, nozzle locations, manway, saddle locations, and temperature-control configuration based on project requirements. Further configurations include half-pipe coil jackets, platforms, guardrails, and access ladders.

These tanks can resist corrosion from inorganic acids, organic acids, organic solvents, and weak alkalis at different concentrations. However, they are not suitable for storing strong alkalis, hydrofluoric acid, fluoride-containing media, or phosphoric acid with concentrations above 30% at temperatures higher than 180 °C.

Available options include horizontal tanks, open-type vertical tanks, and closed-type vertical tanks in a variety of sizes. Non-standard equipment can also be designed and manufactured to meet specific project requirements.

These storage tanks are made of steel with an internal glass lining. The steel gives strength and rigidity, while the glass provides corrosion resistance. The lining also creates a smooth surface that is chemically stable, moderately heat resistant, and easy to clean.

External quality is evaluated through visual inspection and testing instruments to check for surface defects. The internal quality depends on some production factors, including proper forming, welding, and surface treatment, as well as strict quality control at every stage of manufacturing.

There are several options to choose from. Some tanks have a large side opening with a half-pipe coil jacket and can be fitted with platforms, railings, and ladders for easier access. Others come with heating evaporators, making them suitable for applications where temperature control is required.
