Non-Jacketed Storage Tank refers to a storage vessel that does not have an external jacket or outer layer used for insulation or heating/cooling purposes. These tanks are typically designed for storing liquids or gases without the need for temperature control via external heating or cooling systems.
Non-jacketed tanks are often contrasted with jacketed storage tanks, which feature an outer jacket for the circulation of heating or cooling media to maintain the temperature of the stored contents.
Features of Non-Jacketed Storage Tank
Non-jacketed storage tanks are commonly used in various industries for storing liquids or gases without any external insulation or heating mechanisms. Non-jacketed tanks are a practical solution for basic storage needs, especially where the product does not require temperature control during storage.
Material Composition : Typically made from materials like stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, or plastic (e.g., polyethylene, polypropylene). Material selection depends on the nature of the substance stored (e.g., corrosive chemicals, water, food products).
No Thermal Insulation : These tanks lack an external jacket, meaning they do not have built-in insulation or heating features. They are suitable for applications where temperature control is not critical, or external heating/cooling is provided separately.
Ports and Connections : Equipped with inlet/outlet ports, manways, and other necessary connections for filling, draining, or venting. Accessories like level gauges, valves, and pressure relief systems may be added.
No Integrated Heating/Cooling : Since there is no jacket, these tanks rely on external heating or cooling systems if temperature control is needed. May be used in conjunction with heat trace systems or external insulation wraps if required.
Maintenance : Easier to maintain compared to jacketed tanks, as there are no internal or external jackets to monitor for leaks or insulation damage. Cleaning is simpler since there are fewer components.
Capacity Range : Available in various sizes, from small tanks (a few gallons) to large industrial tanks (several thousand gallons or liters). Customizable depending on the application or storage requirements.
Applications : Commonly used for storing water, non-reactive chemicals, oils, and other liquids where maintaining specific temperatures is not necessary. Used in industries such as agriculture, food processing, water treatment, and chemical processing.
Cost-Effective : Generally, more affordable than jacketed tanks due to the absence of complex heating or cooling systems. Ideal for cost-sensitive applications where temperature regulation is not a concern.
Simple Design : Non-jacketed tanks are straightforward in design, usually cylindrical or spherical, with a focus on efficient storage. They are often less expensive and easier to manufacture due to the absence of additional layers like a jacket.
Non-Jacketed Storage Tank application Industries
Non-jacketed storage tanks are used in various industries for storing liquids, gases, or other materials where temperature control is not critical. These tanks are favored for applications where temperature control is unnecessary, helping to reduce costs and simplify operations.
Industries that utilize non-jacketed storage tanks:
• Chemical Industry : Storage of chemicals, solvents, acids, and bases. Used for non-reactive and stable substances that do not require precise temperature control.
• Petroleum and Oil Industry : Storage of crude oil, refined petroleum products, and lubricants. Tanks are used for oil storage where heating is not required.
• Water and Wastewater Treatment : Storage of water, wastewater, or sludge. Municipal water treatment plants use non-jacketed tanks for holding untreated or treated water.
• Food and Beverage Industry : Storage of non-temperature-sensitive ingredients like grains, sugar, or certain liquids. Some food products may not need precise thermal regulation.
• Agriculture : Storage of water, pesticides, fertilizers, and feed. Used in irrigation systems, farming operations, and storage of crop nutrients.
• Pharmaceutical Industry : Storage of non-volatile and non-temperature-sensitive substances like water or basic chemical components. Often used for raw materials or intermediate substances.
• Construction Industry : Storage of raw materials like cement, sand, and other dry or liquid construction materials. Often used for bulk materials storage in construction sites.
• Mining and Minerals : Storage of process water, slurry, and minerals. Non-jacketed tanks can hold raw materials and by-products in mining operations.
