Bitumen

Vertical storage tanks

Overview

The storage tanks type “THV” are designed for heating and storing of bituminous materials or others high viscosity material.
These vertical tanks are fitted internally with heat transfer oil coils and equipped with an automatic system to manage the product temperature avoiding the risk of overheating and keeping the product always at the set temperature.

The internal heat transfer coils, fabricated from steel tube and tested to 20 bars after welding, run in the bottom of the tank in several layers, ensuring the maximum heating efficiency and avoiding cracking of bitumen even with minimum amount of product.

At the same time, rock wool insulation enables to reduce at the minimum level the heat loss reducing the heating cost.

The tanks are fitted with analogical thermometer, membrane level-state and lateral manhole.

In case that Polymer Modified Bitumen (PMB) has to be stored, then a special vertical stirrer or an external recirculation pumping system are provided along with the tank, ensuring suitable agitation of modified binder.

Diameter and height of these tanks can be managed accordingly to customer needs: contact us for further details!
