MOLTEN SALT STORAGE TANK DESIGN SERVICES

Molten salt storage tanks are specifically designed containers used to store molten salt, typically for applications such as concentrated solar power (CSP) plants. In CSP systems, molten salt is often used as a heat transfer fluid or as a thermal energy storage medium.

The design of molten salt storage tanks involves several key considerations:

1. Design Codes & Standards: Compliance with relevant industry standards and codes to ensure safety and structural integrity.

2. Design of Molten Salt Storage Tanks

3. Design of Shell: The outer structure of the tank must be designed to withstand the weight of the stored molten salt and any external loads.

4. Design of Roof: If applicable, the design of the tank's roof must be structurally sound and resistant to environmental factors.

5. Design of Bottom Plate: The bottom plate of the tank needs to be designed to support the weight of the molten salt and the tank itself.

6. Design of Wind Loads: Consideration of wind loads to ensure the tank remains stable in windy conditions.

7. Design of Seismic Loads: Designing the tank to withstand seismic activity if located in an earthquake-prone area.

8. Anchorage Design: Ensuring the tank is properly anchored to the ground to prevent movement or overturning.

9. Design of Molten Salt Storage Tanks

10. Design of Foundation: The foundation of the tank must be designed to distribute the weight and loads evenly to the ground.

11. Design Calculations: Detailed calculations are necessary to ensure the structural integrity and stability of the tank under various conditions.

12. General Arrangement (GA) Drawing: A comprehensive drawing showing the overall layout and dimensions of the tank.

13. Detail Drawings: Detailed drawings that provide specific information about various components and connections of the tank.

Each of these aspects plays a crucial role in the safe and efficient operation of molten salt storage tanks, particularly in the context of renewable energy systems like CSP plants.
