Atmospheric Storage Tanks Explained: Types, Applications, and Benefits

Atmospheric storage tanks play a critical role in today’s industrial infrastructure. Companies across chemical processing, energy, water treatment, and manufacturing rely on safe, reliable storage vessels to protect product integrity and maintain operational uptime. At Savannah Tank, we engineer every Atmospheric Storage Tank to deliver long-term performance, uncompromising quality, and the right fit for your process.

What Is an Atmospheric Storage Tank?

An Atmospheric Storage Tank operates at pressures at or near ambient conditions. Customers use these vessels to store liquids, including chemicals, water, fuels, and process intermediates. We design each tank to match the required capacity, corrosion resistance, structural strength, and integration needs of your facility. Our team supports you from early design conversations through fabrication, testing, and delivery.

Types of Atmospheric Tanks

Atmospheric Tanks are available in a variety of sizes and configurations based on material specifications, size, and the specific application. We can fabricate tanks to your specifications as follows:

Cone-roof and Dome-roof Tank types

Cone and Dome roof tanks are used primarily for storing liquids and can be used indoors or outdoors.

Open Top and Floating Roof Tank types

Customers looking to reduce vapor loss while using tanks containing volatile liquids typically select these tank types.

Stainless Steel Storage Tank Types

Stainless steel storage tanks provide superior corrosion resistance in aggressive chemical environments and are well-suited for high-purity (sterile) storage applications. The types of alloys used include 304, 316L, duplex, and specialty alloys, providing the best possible match for your media or process.

Custom Atmospheric Tanks

When standard designs fall short, we engineer custom-built stainless steel atmospheric and storage tanks that align with your performance, code, and layout requirements.
