Abstract (en)
[origin: WO2008014203A1] A means of storing multiple bulk liquids inside one storage tank which involves the installation of flexible internal tank(s) where such internal tank(s) comprise at least partially rigid end caps (12) and flexible membrane side walls (14), and/or internal bladders (15). Theses internal tanks and/or bladders are compatible with physical conditions of large bulk storage tanks ans potentially capable of storing thousand of tons. The development of multi-product tanks allows tank-farm operators great flexibility in the logistical operation of storing a range of incompatible liquids, and avoids exhaustive tank clean out procedures that are normally required when switching large tanks from one product to another product, especially where incompatible specifications are intolerant of cross-contamination.
