IFC can offer a range of tanks to suit each application. Individual tank capacities can cover almost any size up to a maximum of 120,000 litres. In accessing your requirements we would recommend sufficient capacity to cover at least 5 days operations without a delivery. 

 

 

 

Self-bunded designs are useful in reducing expensive civil building works on site. In line with current environmental agency regulations they do not require a separate bund to be constructed, however corrosion monitoring & remedial work between the tank skins tends to be more difficult then single skin designs.

There is also a 30 to 60% cost increase for this type of tank compared to the single skin designs. As a minimum each tank is fitted with flanged isolation valve on both the fill & discharge lines. The discharge line is usually 4" mounted at low level. On self-bunded designs the valve is placed between the two chambers with hand wheel control usually mounted on top of the tank.

The fill line is usually 3" & vents direct into the top of the tank near the manway. A breather tube & vermin trap is fitted along with accessory sockets for probes etc.
