Overview of Dry Bulk Storage Tanks from
Tank Connection Tank Connection is an industry leader in dry bulk storage systems for the
cement, minerals, lime, sand and aggregate markets.
In today’s market, dry bulk storage systems are available that remove the
problems of yesterday. We specialize in dry bulk storage systems, prescribing
the right tank design tailored for your requirements and the unique qualities of
the material stored. Would mass flow (first-in/first out) product discharge
minimize problems in your process stream? Does your stored material tend to
bridge, segregate or degradate during fill or discharge cycles? If you have
questions about dry bulk storage, Tank Connection has the answers.
We always welcome the opportunity to be of assistance to our customers and
provide the following services:
-
Tank specification development tailored for your
requirement
-
Prompt tank quotations including field
installation
-
Auxiliary equipment quotations including field
installation
-
Field installation services of customer supplied
equipment
-
Material testing services through an independent
consultant
-
Customer service on tank parts, retrofits, field
repair & maintenance
We remedy the storage problems of the past by prescribing the correct
variables of hopper slope, outlet size, outlet configurations, materials of
construction & surface finish, active flow-aid devices, passive flow-aid
devices, internal & external coatings systems, applicable codes and the correct
flow type required for reliable material flow.
At Tank Connection, our reputation is built on success and we recognize our
clients for that success. We are the solution people and we build project
success. Give us a call on your next project and let us assist you in specifying
practical, cost efficient storage that works.
Bolted Smoothwall - The tank of choice for the storage of dry bulk
materials. Hopper gravity discharge is available in a variety of designs
including skirted tanks, drive-through skirted tanks, tanks on structures, tanks
on load cells and tanks elevated on structural legs. Hopper capacities range
from 900 cubic feet up to 150,000 cubic feet. Flat bottom capacities range up to
2 million cubic feet of storage.
Shop Welded Tanks – The tank of choice for the storage of dry bulk
materials up to capacities of 10,000 cubic feet. Typical over the road sizes
range from 8’-14’ diameter with lengths up to 85’, as one piece units. Shop
welded tank construction is also the product of choice in the storage of food
grade products.
Drive-through Skirt Tanks – The most economical choice for truck load-out
applications vs. tanks elevated on structural steel. Bolted tank capacities
range from 1000-75,000 cubic feet. Field-welded capacities range from
10,000-200,000 cubic feet.
Field-Welded Tanks - Available in API 620 & API 650 designs, the
field-welded tank remains the product of choice in select dry bulk storage
applications. Typical applications include: storage requirements that require
heavier tank designs than bolted smoothwall tanks offer, storage capacities in
excess of 70,000 cubic feet when hopper bottom discharge is required, power
market, heavy and abrasive bulk material applications. Quality field-weld
fabrication is evidenced by following code requirements including radiograph
examination, etc.
Stainless Steel Storage Tanks
– Tank construction is available in 304, 316 & 316L materials with
various polished surface profiles. SS construction should be evaluated when
product purity, flow inducement and/or chemical attack issues exists with the
stored material. Stainless construction is the high price storage approach.
Aluminum Storage Tanks – Quality containment (fabrication satisfies ASME
Section VIII requirements) required in select food, chemical and petrochem
applications. A variety of alloy designations are available with 5052 H32
material being the most common and versatile in dry bulk storage applications.
Shop welded aluminum tanks are available up to 12,000 cubic feet capacity in
one-piece construction. Quality welded aluminum silos are an economical
alternative to coated carbon steel tanks. TC Gravity
Blend Tanks – Blend silos are utilized in the plastics market by
producers, compounders and processors to reduce variables in the process stream.
Blend tanks smooth out plastic resin variables associated with melt index, color
variation and particle size.

tank and silo answers.
