Væsketanke

Væsketanke, or liquid storage tanks, are containers designed to hold liquids. They come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, depending on their intended use and the type of liquid they are meant to store. Common materials include steel, stainless steel, plastic (such as polyethylene or polypropylene), and fiberglass. The choice of material is critical as it must be compatible with the stored liquid to prevent corrosion, contamination, or degradation.

The design of a væsketank also varies significantly. Cylindrical tanks, either vertical or horizontal, are very common due to their structural integrity and efficient use of space. Rectangular tanks are also used, particularly for smaller capacities or when space is constrained. Special designs exist for specific applications, such as underground tanks, floating roof tanks for volatile liquids, or tanks with internal baffles to reduce sloshing.

Væsketanke are employed across numerous industries. In agriculture, they store water, fertilizers, and pesticides. The petrochemical industry uses them for storing crude oil, refined fuels, and various chemicals. In municipalities, they are essential for potable water storage and wastewater management. Industrial facilities utilize them for process fluids, coolants, and waste products. Even in households, smaller tanks are used for storing heating oil or rainwater. Safety features, such as overfill protection, venting systems, and secondary containment, are often integrated into væsketanke to prevent spills and environmental damage.
