Horizontal Storage Tanks
Horizontal storage tanks store liquids in a horizontal orientation to improve ease of handling and installation, among other benefits. Whether you need the tanks for oil or potable water storage, rest assured that Ciest Metal's experience and expertise will come through in creating top-notch solutions.
Important Design and Construction Features of Our Horizontal Water Tanks
- Anti-Corrosion Steel Material: The steel used for the tank is coated with anti-corrosive paint to protect it from environmental damage
- Bolted or Welded Steel Construction: Steel panels may be welded and bolted, which prioritizes strength or ease of installation respectively.
- Safety Features: Our tanks have safety features to allow proper ventilation, drainage, and pressure relief, depending on their intended use.
Range of Capacities and Dimensions
Based on the customers' needs, we create horizontal storage tanks in the following range of parameters:
- Capacity: 1–1000 m³;
- Height: 1–30 m;
- Diameter: 1–7 m;

- Surface treatment: C1 – C5.
Advantages of Horizontal Water Tanks
Horizontal water tanks are especially important for storing liquids with low density, such as fuel, alcohol, and hydrogen peroxide. While moving, this helps reduce sloshing. Other benefits include:
- Ease of Handling: Even with denser liquids like liquid fertilizer, horizontal water tanks provide more surface area to fill the tank or maintain it.
- Low-Profile Water Storage: This means you can still introduce potable water storage even in spaces with much lower ceilings.
- Suitable for Above-Ground and Underground Installation: Horizontal tanks need less support because the weight is distributed more evenly, so it's easier to take care of the specifics of installation.
To maximize the potential of horizontal static tanks, please remember that this space-saving solution works best on flat surfaces.
Horizontal Water Tanks and Their Applications in Various Industries
- In Agriculture, horizontal water tanks can be used to store and distribute chemicals;
- In Food and Beverage Processing, water tanks help with maintaining a stable water supply;
- In Liquid Cargo Transportation, horizontal water tanks limit liquid movement while in transit.
