It’s obvious that besides the oil extraction and petroleum refining, there’s one more main industry – the manufacturing of storage tanks in Kuwait. Why is it obvious? – Because these kinds of industries are closely connected. In order to keep the high quality of the petroleum products, the storage tanks of high quality are required, so they have to be constructed strictly according to rules including all the details. The most useful ways of the petroleum products transportation in Kuwait are by trucks and by ships. For this purpose the tanks have to be reliable to prevent the excess heat and leaks of the storage inventory.   Centerreservoirservice Company is engaged in business of manufacturing, repairing and installation of tanks, construction of the storage plants and manufacturing of storage containers for special purposes as well.

Reservoirs of the horizontal type are not used only for transportation of liquids, but also for their permanent storage. Such kind of tanks is applied, for example, at large petrol stations and small filling modules for private use. The methods of their installation are the same but the scale and complexity of the work are different. In general, this technology is likely applied for the manufacturing of tanks in Kuwait, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Georgia, and other countries. Horizontal storage tanks can vary by the performance of the side walls. There are dome, cone and straight walls. Regardless of the performance, the walls, if required, can be reinforced by the additional ribbings. Cone walls are usually applied for the tanks that are designed for the high excess pressure. In other cases the straight walls are mainly used. For the smooth operation and maintenance, the storage tanks are equipped with the breather valves, tank gages and hatches for different applications. The observation deck from the stairs is usually applied for the land storage tanks of the big volume.

The technology of manufacturing of storage tanks in Kuwait doesn’t require the additional heating equipment to be installed to the tank structure though it is common in the regions with moderately cold and cold climates. Besides the application of the heating equipment, reservoirs can differ in some other parameters, such as nominal volume, pressure, quantity of internal sections and the availability of the double walls. The double-skin tanks are usually applied for oil fuels and the availability of the double walls provides the additional safety and prevents the fuel leakage.
