The tank is designed to allow easy access for multiple valves forming the inlet and outlet manifold. This optimizes use of the tank for clean-up operations or to store liquids.
A flame arrestor is an integral feature of the tank and is located at the gas/vent outlet line at the top of the tank. An additional safety feature is the inclusion of vent hatches/manholes, created by forming a balanced man entry opening, which allows the cover to be lifted, thus venting to the atmosphere should pressure begin to build up in the vessel.
The tank is equipped with internal access by a permanently installed ladder and foldable top handrails to ensure operator safety. Tanks may also be equipped with steam coils to provide the necessary heat required to ensure fluid viscosity is retained during operations.
The high capacity of the tank is an additional benefit for operations where well production can be transported to a loading facility, and the crude can be transferred for further processing.
