Vertical steel tanks (VSTs) are used to store a variety of liquids in industrial facilities, from oil to water. Their installation requires a serious approach, as it is important to consider many factors, including safety, materials, and design specifics. In this article, we will tell you how to design and install such a tank so that it is reliable and durable.
Technical process of manufacturing a tank
The table below outlines the main stages of tank assembly, describing the key operations and controls required to ensure the reliability and safety of the structure.
RVS project planning
- Purpose of the tank
Before you begin, you need to clearly define what the tank will be used for. Different liquids require different material requirements. For example, if the tank will be used for oil, corrosion-resistant materials and careful protection against possible leaks are required. - Material selection
One of the most important decisions is the choice of steel. For RVS, special grades of steel resistant to external influences are usually used, such as grade 09G2S, which is widely used in Ukraine. This will ensure the durability and strength of the structure. Steel must comply with DSTU standards so that the tank meets safety requirements. - Structural design
Engineers calculate the loads that the tank will be subjected to. This includes the weight of the liquid, pressure on the walls, wind effects, and even the possibility of earthquakes. Based on these calculations, a design is created with drawings that specify all the tank parameters.

Final stage
Conclusion
Creating a vertical steel tank is a complex process that requires compliance with all standards and regulations. But if everything is done correctly at each stage, the tank will last for many years and provide safe storage of liquids. It is important not only to comply with technical standards, but also to carry out regular inspections and maintenance to extend its service life.
