✓ 304 or 316L stainless steel – matched to your medium
✓ Atmospheric to 6 bar design pressure
✓ GA drawing provided within 48 hours

03 TANK DUTIES

Let Your Process Decide the Design

The right tank starts with your process – not a standard model.

Raw material tank

For water, milk, juice, syrup, base alcohol, and other raw ingredients. Tell us how you unload and transfer – we’ll place the nozzles accordingly.

Finished product tank

Hygienic storage after processing, with controlled surface finish, full drainage, CIP coverage and protected product transfer.

Buffer / balance tank

Short-residence process holding between production stages, sized for line balance and fitted for level and flow control.

Water tank

Raw water, RO water, purified water and hot-water storage in grades and finishes selected for the required water quality.

Alcohol & spirits tank

Storage for whisky, vodka, baijiu and neutral spirit, with suitable seals, earthing, venting and optional ATEX-compatible accessories.

Non-standard & horizontal

Horizontal, transport-limited and site-assembled tanks for restricted headroom, large diameters or special foundations.

04 ENGINEERING DATA

Storage tank specifications

Dimensions and plate thickness are calculated after working volume, medium, temperature, pressure, installation location and transport limits are confirmed.

Values are a selection guide, not a final pressure-vessel calculation. The approved GA drawing and calculation package govern manufacture.

05 CONFIGURATION

What you choose, and what it changes

Each selection changes cost, cleanability, heat transfer, service life or documentation. We show these effects in the quotation before drawing approval.

Grade and plate source

304 / 304L for general food and beverage duty, 316L for higher corrosion resistance, for chloride-bearing media. EN 10204 3.1 material certificates are supplied.

Internal and external finish

2B mill finish, brushed 320 grit, mirror polish 400-600 grit and electro-polish. Internal Ra is measured and reported.

Single-wall, insulated or jacketed

Ambient storage, temperature retention with 50-100 mm insulation, or active heating and cooling through a selected jacket design.

Heads, bottom and support

Dished, conical or sloped bottoms with legs, skirt, saddle or site-specific support design and verified foundation loads.

Nozzles and instruments

Sanitary or flanged connections, vents, manways, level, temperature, pressure, sampling, spray devices and safety accessories.

Agitation and control

Top, side or bottom-entry agitation with VFD control, load cells, level automation and integration to the plant control system.

06 HEAT TRANSFER

The jacket is where tanks are won or lost

Jacket type, coverage, channel spacing, flow path and test pressure determine whether the tank reaches and holds the target process temperature.

Honeycomb jacket

Laser-welded dimple construction for efficient heating or cooling with reduced material and a clean exterior profile.

Corrugated channel

Formed flow channels for robust utility circulation on larger shells and duties requiring controlled flow paths.

Arched channel

Higher-flow channel construction selected for demanding pressure, steam or heat-transfer requirements.

Laser welding: low distortion and repeatable channels   |   Testing: independent jacket pressure test   |   Insulation: polyurethane or rock wool   |   Cladding: stainless steel outer shell

07 FABRICATION

How your tank is actually built

Inspection hold points are built into the manufacturing route so material, welding, finish and testing remain traceable.

01 Plate intake

Material grade, thickness, heat number and EN 10204 3.1 certificates are checked before release.

02 Laser cutting & forming

Shell, heads and openings are cut and formed to the approved drawing and dimensional tolerances.

03 Automatic seam welding

Longitudinal and circumferential seams use qualified procedures with controlled heat input.

04 Jacket laser welding

Dimple or channel jackets are welded to the calculated pattern and inspected before insulation.

05 Weld examination

Visual, penetrant and radiographic examination is performed to the specified code and inspection plan.

06 Polishing & passivation

Product-contact surfaces are ground, polished, cleaned and passivated to the specified Ra.

07 Pressure test & assembly

Tank and jacket are independently hydrostatically or pneumatically tested before final assembly.

08 FAT, packing, shipping

Dimensions, accessories, documents and finish are checked, then protected for container, flat rack or bulk shipping.

11 BUYER QUESTIONS

Storage tank FAQ

From 1,000 L up to 200,000 L per tank. Tanks that fit standard transport ship complete; larger vessels use flat rack, break bulk, or segmented on-site assembly.

Standard grades are 304 / 304L and 316L, with duplex 2205 for chloride-bearing service. Finish options include 2B, brushed 320 grit, mirror polish and electro-polish, typically Ra 0.4-0.8 um for hygienic duty.

Yes. METO holds D1 and D2 pressure-vessel manufacturing licences and CE / PED certification, and can design to ASME VIII Div.1 technical requirements.

Single-wall tanks store at ambient temperature. Insulated tanks slow heat gain or loss. Jacketed tanks actively cool or heat the product using glycol, chilled water or steam.

Typical lead time is 15-25 days for smaller single-wall tanks, 30-45 days for medium or insulated tanks, and 45-70 days for large vessels and multi-tank projects, starting after drawing approval and deposit.

GA drawing, nozzle schedule, material certificates, welding records, dimensional and surface reports, examination and pressure-test reports, code file where applicable, manuals and packing list.

Yes. There is no minimum order quantity; one tank can be supplied as a trial or for an isolated process duty.

Yes. Support ranges from drawings and remote supervision to travelling engineers for site welding, installation, pipework and commissioning.

12 REQUEST A QUOTATION

Send the process data. Get a drawing back in 48 hours.

You do not need a finished specification. Send the stored medium, working volume, quantity, temperature, pressure and site limits. An engineer will review the duty and return the technical questions, GA drawing and itemised quotation.
