Farm- Part 2
Tankfarm part 1
I. Dyke Wall Height Calculation:
Area of Dyke : 21582.5 M2
Height of Dyke Assumed : ‘H’ = 1.2 M
Height of Foundation ‘h’ which is 0.9M
Diameter of Foundation : ‘D’ = Diameter of Tank + 1.5 M
Number of Tanks : ‘n’
Fire wall dimensions : 200 MM Thk. X 600 MM High
Dyke enclosure vol. ≥ Working capacity of Largest tank + Dead volumes
A ≥ B + C
A) Dyke enclosure volume = Area of Dyke X Dyke Height
= 21582.5 X 1.2 =25899 M3
B) Working capacityof Largest tank = 17304 M3
C) Dead volume = All tanks foundation volume + Liquid volume of tanks (other
than the largest tank) upto the Ht. of the enclosure + Dead volume of Fire wall
1) All Tank foundation volume:
Volume of a tank foundation = π/4 D2 X h X n
Let ,
D1 : Fdn Dia of 300 tank = 37.5 M; D2 : Fdn Dia of 250 tank = 26.5 M; D3 : Fdn Dia of 210 tank
= 22.5 M
n1 : Number of 300 tank fdns = 2 nos; n2 : Number of 250 tank fdns = 4 nos; n3 : Number of 210
tank fdns = 6 nos;
Volume of all tank foundations = π/4 D12 X h X n1 + π/4 D22 X h X n2 + π/4 D32 X h X n3
= π/4 X 37.52 X 0.9 X 2+ π/4 X 26.52 X 0.9 X 4 + π/4 X
22.5 X 0.9 X 6
