Storage tank containers and battery tank farms

Krampitz’s large tank farm – cubically good!

Our Storage tank containers are mostly used as diesel or heating oil tanks. Storage tank containers are also produced for the storage of gasoline, kerosene, crude oil, heavy fuel oil, transformer oil, or urea.

The majority of the storage tank containers are based on Minotaur dimensions 20ft HC, 40ft HC (HighCube) in international ISO dimensions.

In the recent past, Krampitz has received increasing orders for oversized containers with a volume of 75.000 to 96.000 liters. These containers are produced under the system name "Zeus." They are 3.000 mm wide, 12.000 or 15.000 mm long, and have a high cube height of 2.900 mm.

For large storage quantities over 50.000 or 100.000 liters of a medium, we combine several containers of the same size into a tank farm. For a total volume of up to 500.000 liters we work with the 40ft HC-Minotaur series, over 500.000 liters with the 50ft Zeus series.

A Large tank farm consists of a centrally located Administrator container and up to 10 Worker storage tank containers with special tank farm equipment. Five storage tank containers are installed on each long side of the central container.

The central container (administrator) – structure and function

The central container has a large double-walled receiving and dispensing tank in the middle. The receiving or pump section is integrated on one end face, and the dispensing section is located on the opposite end face.

The pump section is equipped with two 1.000 liter pumps (1.000 liter delivery speed per minute). Here, the pipeline routes for filling the storage tanks with fuels and for extracting fuels from the storage tanks are also switched electronically via a central control.

The storage tank containers are selected automatically via the Central control, which opens or closes the installed motor valves on the selected storage tanks. The filling levels of the individual container storage tanks can also be retrieved via the central control.

In the pump section there is a 4 inch dry coupling to which the Tank truck making delivery connect. The transfer pumps use this to suck the fuel out of the tank trucks and pump it into the receiving tank.

The output section It is equipped with a 2-inch loading arm for flow rates of up to 500 liters per minute and a 1-inch hose reel with a nozzle for dispensing 1 liters per minute to vehicles. A fuel dispenser can also be installed for dispensing control.

The following pump switching paths are possible:

Convey from tank trucks directly into storage tank containers
Pump from tanker truck into day tank
From storage tank container to tank truck dispensing section (deliver 150 gallons / 600 liters)
From storage tank container to tank truck dispensing section (deliver 300 gallons / 1200 liters)
From day tank to tanker dispensing section (deliver 150 gallons / 600 liters)
From day tank to tanker dispensing section (deliver 300 gallons / 1200 liters)

The battery storage tank container – structure and function

The Battery storage tank container are installed on both sides of the central container. Up to five units on each side. With this maximum suction line length of approx. 20m horizontally, the centrally installed transfer pump can work without any problems without suction problems (cavitation). Of course, the pipe system must be filled by pouring during initial commissioning. The pumps can then be operated without any problems.

The Front wall of the battery storage tank A niche is integrated. This niche takes the Filling and suction manifold, which are routed through the niche. These manifolds hydraulically connect all storage tanks to the central unit. From these manifolds, connecting pipes lead, via T-pieces, into the respective storage tanks, which are equipped with electric motorized ball valves. These motorized ball valves are operated by the Central control of the central container Each tank can be selected via the central control system to fill or empty it.

A central control module, which works together with the central control, is installed in the niche. This contains the electronic overfill protection of the tank, the evaluation of the electrical content display as well as the fuses and relays for the motorized ball valves and the lighting as well as the light switches for the interior and exterior lighting.

Accessories for the battery storage tank container: light masts, platform with parapet, 2x pipe fittings DN100 length 600.

Use of battery storage for large consumers

Be here Fuels or consumables delivered, stored, and consumed. A tank truck receiving section is required in addition to the tank farm. The delivery medium is delivered to the industrial plant.

We distinguish between single-media large tank farms and multi-media large tank farms. One-media large tank farm are the previously described Large battery tank farm, i.e. a medium in a battery. Multi-media large tank farm consist of a storage tank container, which has the receiving and issuing technology installed in a simplified form on both front sides of the tank body. This means that mixing different media is impossible.

The operators of Large tank farms are:

Large consumers such as power plants
Manufacturers such as specialty refineries and chemical manufacturers
Fuel and chemical suppliers
Logistics company for fuels and chemicals

Large tank farm

Large battery tank farm for manufacturers of liquid media

Here media such as Fuels, additives, chemicals delivered, stored, refined in production, stored again and delivered to customers.

In addition to the tank farm, the tank truck receiving section and output section are required.

Fuel and chemical suppliers

The industrial utilities have large central warehouses, but often also decentralized buffer or distribution warehouses. The difference here is that they have smaller storage volumes per medium, but a large number of media.

Im Central warehouse can up to 1 million liters be stored in a medium. In Buffer storage will usually be 50.000 or 100.000 liters of a medium.

For the central warehouse, special receiving and discharging sections with extensive equipment will be installed. For the multi-media buffer storage, receiving and discharging equipment will be installed in the machine compartment of each tank. the complete technology for tank storage logistics in a very small space present.
