Product Description
Product Description
The one reference devoted exclusively to aboveground storage tanks (ASTs), this book helps owners and regulators understand the design, operation, and maintenance of ASTs in the face of new industry regulations and meet the rigorous compliance requirements. Here is an ideal handbook for chemical, environmental, and civil engineers, and others concerned with the regulatory issues of ASTs. Sections examine various types of storage media and their applications; fundamental environmental engineering concerns; how to select the right industrial codes and standards for the tank; design considerations for ASTs; the construction, fabrication, and erection of tanks; and the requirements designed to keep ASTs environmentally sound.

First Sentence
Although the word tank identifies only a single type or piece of equipment in an industrial facility, tanks have been used in innumerable ways both to store every conceivable liquid, vapor, or even solid and in a number of interesting processing applications. Read the first page

Superb Book..... Well worth the time and Money,
By MJ Cronin - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Above Ground Storage Tanks (Hardcover)
As a mechanical engineer with nearly 30 years of process equipment experience, I find this book invaluable for the design, specification and operation of storage facilities.Meyers has a well organized, informative text with an easy to find index. The book is particularly useful where the pros and cons of design alternatives are compared. I have seen heated discussions resoved based on Meyer's recommendations. As anyone who has delt with tank design over the past several years can tell you, design practices, recollections and anecdotes, combined with the occasional company guideline were the only references available. Now Meyers comes forth with an authoritative text that fills a long standing need. Purchase this book along with the Aboveground Steel Storage Tank Handbook by Brian Digrado and you have (virtually) everything important that has been written about aboveground storage tanks. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful:

Very very good,
By Dimitri H. Polanski "The Reverend" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Above Ground Storage Tanks (Hardcover)
As a mechanical engineer designing refineries, I needed suffiecient information on tanks that was unknown to me, and this book had it all.
It covers all aspects, from the most basic elements to the failry complex and detailed aspects. And points you to other references if more detailed information is required. Aside from a few errors, typos, etc. it is overall an excellent book that I would recommend to any engineer working with Tanks. |
