What is a tank farm?
A tank farm is an industrial facility designed for the safe storage of liquid media, chemicals, or water-hazardous substances. In process industries, tank farms play a central role in supplying production plants with raw materials and process media.
Typical application areas include:
- Chemical industry
- Plastics and polymer production
- Pharmaceutical industry
- Paints and coatings industry
- Specialty chemicals and additive production
Tank farms are not only used for storage, but also for downstream processes:
- Dosing and supply of production systems
- Temperature control of media
- Filtration or degassing
- Loading of tank trucks or containers
Depending on the application, various media are stored, such as:
- Polyol
- Isocyanate
- Pentane
- Solvents
- Additives
- Water-hazardous chemicals
Tank systems are precisely engineered according to the specific media, storage volumes, and site requirements to ensure maximum safety and process stability.
