Summary:Risko discusses the design considerations for steam-heated storage tanks, which are critical to manufacturing processes. Storage tanks are essential to the chemical process industries (CPI), and they require significant capital investment to ensure optimal installation and continued reliable operation. Many of these storage tanks are heated by steam to maintain liquid viscosity or product integrity. The concept that storage tanks just maintain liquid stocks and are relatively simple equipment may confound some when dramatic issues occur.
