Bitumen plays an indispensable role in road construction and infrastructure development across the globe. As the demand for more efficiency and sustainable construction materials increases, the industry is turning toward innovative solutions in bitumen storage

Optimal Storage Temperature

Typical Range: Bitumen is typically stored at temperatures ranging from 150°C to 180°C (302°F to 356°F). This range ensures that the bitumen remains in a liquid or semi-liquid state, making it easy to handle, transport, and apply. At this temperature, bitumen has the right viscosity for mixing with aggregates and other materials in road construction.

Insulation and Temperature Control

Insulated Storage Tanks: To maintain the required temperature and prevent heat loss, bitumen storage tanks are often insulated. This reduces the energy required to maintain the temperature, improving efficiency and reducing costs.

Heat Tracing Systems:

Some storage facilities also use heat tracing systems, where electrical heating cables are wrapped around the tanks to maintain a constant temperature. These systems help ensure bitumen remains at the ideal temperature, even in colder environment

Designing and fabricating a bitumen storage tank in the 20m³ to 50m³ range with specific requirements, such as self-supported cone roofs, compliance with API 650 standards, and integrated features like insulation, heating systems, and overfill protection, involves several detailed calculations, design steps, and drafting.

Welding Details: Specifications for welds, including locations and types of welds.
Material Specifications: Types of materials used for different parts of the tank.

Detail Fabrication Drawings

Fabrication drawings provide the detailed construction and assembly instructions. These should include:

Material Specifications: Type of steel (typically carbon steel or stainless steel), thickness of shell plates, roof plates, and insulation materials.
Welding Details: Types of welds to be used for the tank, ensuring the strength and leak-proof properties.
Roof Support Details: Design of the roof, including reinforcement details, plate thicknesses, and weld types.
Dimensions: Specific measurements for all parts, including shell height, diameter, roof slope, nozzle sizes, and tank access points.
Tank Base: Design of the tank foundation, usually a concrete slab, with reinforcement for stability.
Pressure Relief/Overfill Protection: Detailed design of the overfill prevention systems, such as high-level alarms, automatic shut-off valves, and pressure relief valves.

These drawings to be provided in standard CAD formats, like DWG and PDF, to clearly show the assembly process and final tank configuration.
