Makfen designs and manufactures stainless and carbon steel reactors, mixers, tanks and silos and builds turnkey process plants in Türkiye.

RAW MATERIAL STORAGE TANKS

Raw material storage tanks hold the liquid raw materials that arrive at a plant by tanker or in drums until they are taken into production. Makfen designs and manufactures raw material storage tanks in carbon steel or stainless steel, sized to the plant’s volume and site conditions, in accordance with TSE, EN, ASME and API (API 650) standards.

Where Are Raw Material Storage Tanks Used?

Raw material storage tanks sit at the start of the process. They receive product from the tanker unloading line, provide a stock buffer and feed the raw material through pumps or dosing systems to reactors, mixers and production vessels. They are used for a wide range of raw materials such as oils, solvents, resins, and acid and alkali solutions. Outdoor field tanks and large stock yards are the most common applications.

Design Considerations

  • Material selection: carbon steel or AISI 304/316L stainless steel, depending on the chemistry of the raw material
  • Volume and size: sized within a 1500–6500 mm diameter range according to consumption and delivery frequency
  • Heating and insulation: double wall, water heating and rock wool insulation for viscous raw materials that solidify or thicken in the cold
  • Safety: Ex-proof equipment suited to the hazardous area for flammable raw materials
