500 Ton Large Capacity Bitumen Tank

500-Ton Bitumen Storage for High-Volume Asphalt Production
A 500-ton bitumen storage tank provides bulk storage for asphalt mixing plants, highway construction projects, and bitumen terminals. Heating, insulation, pumping, and monitoring systems can be configured according to the bitumen grade, operating temperature, daily consumption, and site conditions.
500-Metric-Ton Storage Capacity
Designed around a target bitumen storage quantity of 500 metric tons. Final tank volume depends on bitumen density at the relevant temperature and the allowable filling level.
Integrated Heating System
Thermal oil heating coils can be configured to meet the required operating temperature and heat-up time, subject to thermal calculations.
Thermal Insulation
Mineral wool insulation and protective metal cladding are available to manage heat loss under specified operating and ambient conditions.
Bitumen Transfer System
Pumps, heated pipelines, valves, and monitoring instruments can be selected to match the required transfer flow rate and downstream plant connections.

Configuration Options for Different Project Requirements
Vertical or Horizontal Design
Vertical tanks suit sites where ground footprint is limited. Horizontal tanks can be considered for sites with height restrictions or specific transport requirements.
Heating & Temperature Control
Thermal oil heating is available as a configuration option. Heating capacity, coil arrangement, and temperature monitoring are determined by the bitumen grade and required operating conditions.
Insulation & External Cladding
Mineral wool insulation, with thickness options such as 100 mm or 150 mm subject to design confirmation, can be combined with suitable external cladding.
Pump & Pipeline Configuration
Pump capacity, motor power, pipeline diameter, valves, and heating arrangements are selected according to bitumen viscosity, operating temperature, transfer distance, and required flow rate.
Instrumentation & Automation
Temperature sensors, level indicators, high-level alarms, and PLC-based controls can be included according to the agreed control and safety requirements.

Final specifications are confirmed during engineering design.

Inspection and Documentation for Project Verification
Material Traceability
Steel plates and piping are checked against approved material specifications. Material test certificates can be supplied according to the agreed documentation scope.
Welding Quality Control
Welding procedures, welder qualifications, and inspection activities are managed according to the applicable design requirements and approved inspection plan.
Testing & Inspection
Visual inspection, applicable non-destructive testing, and required pressure or leak tests are specified according to the tank and heating system design.
Technical Documentation
The agreed documentation package may include general arrangement drawings, material records, welding and inspection reports, test records, and operation and maintenance manuals.

Designed Around Actual Site Requirements
Asphalt Mixing Plants
Bulk bitumen storage and controlled transfer to asphalt production equipment.
Highway & Road Construction
Storage capacity planned around project consumption, tanker delivery schedules, and site operating conditions.
Bitumen Terminals
Integration into multi-tank storage systems with coordinated heating, pumping, and pipeline connections.
Installation & Interface Requirements
Foundation loads, installation space, transport restrictions, electrical supply, flange standards, pump duty, and control interfaces should be confirmed before manufacturing.
