Low-pressure type folding container for oil platforms

What is a low pressure storage tank?

For the purpose of this page, we focus on the atmospheric or low-pressure storage tank widely used from the production fields to the refinery. The most common shape used is the vertical, cylindrical storage tank. Gross capacities can range from 100 bbl to over 1.5 MMbbl in a single storage tank.
