Abstract
A storage tank including a frame and a tank assembly. The tank assembly including a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, and a polygonal sidewall extending from the first end to the second end. The vessel further having a top, a bottom, at least one side, and an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom; and a chemical-resistant lining associated with the internal surface of the sidewall and being substantially flexible. The frame is configured to support the tank assembly so that the bottom of the vessel is elevated a distance above a surface to allow for visual inspection of the top, bottom, and the at least one side of the sidewall.
Claims17
A storage tank, comprising:
- a frame having at least a pair of longitudinal support members, a plurality of vertical support members extending upwardly from each of the longitudinal support members, and a plurality of transverse support members extending between the longitudinal support members;
- and
- a tank assembly, comprising:
- a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, an octagonal sidewall extending from the first end to the second end and having a top, a bottom, and at least one side, the vessel having an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom;
- and
- a chemical-resistant lining associated with the internal surface of the sidewall and being substantially flexible,
- wherein the frame is configured to support the tank assembly so that the bottom of the vessel is elevated a distance above a surface to allow for visual inspection of the top, bottom, and the at least one side of the sidewall when the longitudinal support members of the frame are in supporting contact with the surface.
A storage tank, comprising:
- a frame having at least a pair of horizontal support members, a plurality of vertical support members extending upwardly from each of the horizontal support members, and a plurality of transverse support members extending between the horizontal support member;
- and
- a tank assembly, comprising:
- a vessel supported by the frame and having a first end, a second end, an octagonal sidewall extending from the first end to the second end and having a top, a bottom, and at least one side, the vessel having an internal surface, and an outlet fluidly coupled with the bottom;
- and
- a chemical-resistant lining associated with the internal surface of the sidewall and being substantially flexible;
- and
- a wash line extending in the vessel adjacent to the top of the sidewall and having one or more wash nozzles arranged to direct a volume of fluid toward the internal surface of the sidewall,
- wherein the frame is configured to support the tank assembly so that the bottom of the vessel is elevated a distance above a surface to allow for visual inspection of the top, bottom, and the at least one side of the sidewall when the horizontal support members of the frame are in supporting contact with the surface.
