The large export of liquid products usually leads to the manufacturing of storage tanks. In Tunisia, the smallest country in the North Africa, the developed industry realizes its advantages through the large export of oil, chemicals, phosphates, olive oil and food products. Consequently, in order to transport liquid chemicals, oils and petroleum products, the great number of tanks installed on vehicles, rail freight cars, cargo airplanes and ships are required. The horizontal type of tanks is the most suitable to be applied in this case. Each type of the product stored requires the number of special features that have to be considered during the manufacturing of the storage tanks. They can include a lot of not-so-obvious at first glance but very important factors, such as the location of the branch pipes and manholes, the availability or lack of thermal insulation, the thermos effect.  Centerreservoirservice Company learned all these factors long time ago –   back in the early days of the company, so our designers take into account all the necessary details even at the stage of project designing.

Petroleum refining companies that care about the environment can’t operate without the reliable drain tanks of high quality. Obviously, the level of manufacturing of storage tanks in Tunisia is not very high; otherwise, the ecological situation in the country would be better. The all-welded structures are generally intended for the underground installation, that’s why it is necessary to take good care about the outer surface of the tank to prevent the outer layer from the destruction due to a long stay under ground. Before installing them under ground, it is necessary to study in detail the groundwater level, and make sure that they won’t raise the reservoir to the surface. To avoid this you have to install a heavy reinforced concrete slab under the tank. The steel surface has to be coated both outside and inside of the tank with the reliable protective mixtures to prevent from the destructive factors that can reduce the service life of the reservoir and lead to the leakage of liquids into the soil. To have all this work carried out in a professional way, it is necessary to apply only to the experienced producers and order the manufacturing of storage tanks. In Tunisia, unfortunately, the environmental issues are not taken into account seriously. This factor leads to a decrease in the reserves of clean water, which is extremely important for agriculture, but without the proper maintenance of the irrigation systems and reservoirs, the water drains away and evaporates because of the drought.
