Project Grade Large Bitumen Reservoir

Large-Capacity Bitumen Storage Tanks provide bulk storage, temperature management and material transfer for asphalt production plants, bitumen terminals and road construction projects. Tank capacity, heating arrangements, insulation and process connections are specified according to the stored medium, operating conditions and site requirements.
Bulk Storage Capacity
Single-tank and multi-tank configurations can be evaluated according to daily bitumen consumption, delivery schedules, required inventory and available site space.
Temperature Management
Thermal oil heating, electric heating or an approved hybrid arrangement can be selected according to the bitumen grade, target temperature and available energy supply.
Process Integration
Inlet, outlet, recirculation, drain and vent connections are coordinated with the site's pumping equipment, pipelines and downstream production systems.
Project-Specific Engineering
Tank dimensions, orientation, structural supports, instrumentation and access arrangements are confirmed through engineering review and approved drawings.

Horizontal Storage Tanks
Suitable for projects where transportation height, installation access, foundation layout and maintenance clearance favor a horizontal arrangement.
Vertical Storage Tanks
Can be considered for large storage inventories where the site layout, foundation capacity, wind loading and installation conditions support a vertical structure.
Multi-Tank Storage Systems
Separate tanks can be specified for different bitumen grades or operating requirements, subject to material compatibility and the intended storage process.
Selection Criteria
Capacity, usable volume, heating duty, pumping requirements, ambient temperature, transportation limits and local design requirements should be reviewed together before equipment selection.

Final specifications are determined by the approved project requirements and engineering calculations.

Thermal Oil Heating
Internal heating coils can be connected to a compatible thermal oil circulation system. Coil layout and heating duty are determined by the required operating temperature, heat-up time and heat-loss calculations.
Electric Heating
Electric heating can be considered where the available electrical supply, required heating duty and operating conditions support the selected configuration.
Thermal Insulation
Insulation thickness is selected according to ambient conditions, operating temperature and heat-loss requirements. External cladding protects the insulation from the site environment.
Temperature Monitoring
Temperature sensors and control devices can be specified to monitor operating conditions and support integration with the plant control system.

Engineering Review
Tank dimensions, material selection, nozzle locations, support arrangements and design conditions are reviewed before fabrication.
Material Verification
Steel plates, pipes and flanges are checked against approved material specifications. Material test certificates and traceability records are provided where specified in the project documentation.
Welding & Fabrication
Plate preparation, shell forming, assembly and welding are performed according to the approved fabrication procedures and applicable project requirements.
Inspection & Testing
Visual and dimensional inspections, weld non-destructive testing and leak or pressure testing are defined by the applicable design code and approved Inspection and Test Plan (ITP).
Surface Preparation & Coating
Surface preparation, primer and topcoat systems are selected according to the specified corrosion protection requirements and service environment.
Project Documentation
Inspection reports, material records, approved drawings and as-built documentation are supplied according to the agreed project scope.

Asphalt Mixing Plants
Provides storage and feed supply for bitumen used in batch or continuous asphalt production, subject to the plant's required transfer capacity and temperature conditions.
Bitumen Storage Terminals
Supports bulk receiving, storage and dispatch operations through project-specific tank and pipeline arrangements.
Polymer-Modified Bitumen Facilities
Dedicated storage can be specified for compatible PMB grades after reviewing temperature requirements, viscosity, circulation and handling conditions.
Infrastructure Projects
Storage capacity, transport arrangements and installation requirements are coordinated with construction schedules, site access and expected material consumption.
System Integration Requirements
Heating circuits, transfer pumps, pipelines, valves, instrumentation, foundations and electrical controls should be coordinated before final design approval. Pump sizing and pipeline heating requirements depend on the bitumen properties, flow rate and operating temperature.

Provide the following information to support technical evaluation and quotation.
Project & Capacity
Installation location, required nominal capacity, usable inventory and expected daily consumption.
Bitumen Specifications
Bitumen grade, stored medium, viscosity requirements, normal operating temperature and maximum allowable temperature.
Heating & Transfer
Preferred heating method, available energy supply, required heating time, transfer flow rate and pipeline connection details.
Site & Installation
Preferred tank orientation, available footprint, foundation information, transport restrictions and environmental design conditions.
Standards & Inspection
Required design code, applicable local regulations, inspection scope and third-party inspection requirements.

Supply Scope
Specify whether the project requires the tank only or a package including insulation, pumps, valves, heating equipment, instrumentation, control panels and installation support.
Request a Technical Review & Quotation
Submit available drawings, process requirements and site information for an initial engineering assessment. Final capacity, heating duty, configuration, delivery scope and pricing are confirmed after technical review.
