An MS Horizontal tank typically refers to a tank constructed from mild steel (MS), which is a common material used in various industrial applications due to its good mechanical properties and cost-effectiveness. These tanks are used for storage all organic and inorganic raw material in all process industries such as pharmaceuticals, Agrochemicals, Dyes & Intermediates, and Synthetic chemicals.
Key Features:
- Material: Mild steel is favored for its strength and ductility, though it may require protective coatings or linings to resist corrosion, especially in reactive environments.
- Design Versatility: MS Horizontal Storage Tank can be designed in various sizes with well-designed lugs support accommodating to store the different chemicals.
- Pressure and Temperature Handling: These vessels can be engineered to withstand specific pressure and temperature conditions based on the process requirements.
Applications:
- Dyes & Intermediates: Used in the storage of a wide range of chemicals, including solvents, acids, and bases.
- Pharmaceuticals: Suitable for the storage of intermediates and active pharmaceutical ingredients.
- Food Industry: Employed in storage like fermentation solvent and waste water.
- Agrochemicals: Use to storage precise raw material for insecticide and pesticides and Herbicides.
- Petrochemicals: Employed in storage of vareous and formulation of solvents and thinners.
Considerations:
- Corrosion Resistance: Depending on the application, mild steel tanks may need coatings or linings (e.g., epoxy, rubber) to prevent rust and degradation, where as required for the computable chemicals and solvents.
- Maintenance: Regular inspections and maintenance are essential to ensure structural integrity and prolong the lifespan of the vessel.
