Circular Tanks

YT Series tank is essentially a circular tank constructed of modular steel panels bolted together with high tensile fasteners that are sealed with a flexible membrane liner or gasket jointing system. What advantage does the YT Series Tank have over traditional concrete and welded steel tank? Competitive initial purchase cost: Modular tanks are constructed from a series of standard component in different configurations. Bulk purchasing and production of modular sections enable APT to provide competitive prices over that of concrete or welded steel tanks. Structural integrity not compromised by construction labor: The design integrity of concrete tank relies on the control of external factor during construction (test cylinders, slump tests, foreign material contamination, vibrating variables, honeycombs, etc) , and welded steel tanks (weld x-rays, temperature and humidity control for painting, etc.) . With sectional steel tank structural integrity is guaranteed in the design process. If there is a bolt in every hole, and a nut on every bolt, the structural integrity of the tank is insured. Ongoing maintenance and ownership cost minimal: One-piece factory fabricated flexible membrane liners form an impervious barrier between the steel structure and the water environment and eliminate corrosion of internal surfaces of the tank structure. Modular construction also allows coatings to be applied in factory controlled processes and conditions, significantly increasing the life expectancy of the tank coatings. Compare these to field applied and air cured coatings on concrete and welded tanks, it is easy to observe significant maintenance savings. Diversity of dimensional configuration, capacities and applications. Modular standard panel sizes of 2160mm x 1200mm, 2160mm x 900mm, 2160mm x 600mm & 2160mm x 300mm enable construction of tanks to suit almost any dimesion restriction from 2. 5m-50m diameter, from 1. 2m-25m high. Community Drinking Water, Wastewater Treatment, Fire Systems, Energy Management, Power Stations, Mining & Process Water from 25m3-10, 000m3. Short delivery lead times and site construction times: With easily configured products and dedicated tank design staff, the sectional steel tank designs and drawings are typically completed within a matter of a few days. Because of their modular construction with bolted joints, sectional tanks can be assembled in a matter of days or weeks. The assembly processes are easily accomplished with unskilled labor supervised by a trained foreman. Standardization of components insures accurate fabrication and precise part fitting in the field. Manufactured to suit containerization for delivery anywhere in the world. Small or large structures are constructed from the same easily handled modular section and can be packed on pallets / crates and loaded in to 20' or 40' GP shipping containers for dispatch to construction sites anywhere in the world. Simple and safe construction methods: Construction of large structures can be time consuming, expensive and fraught with safety hazards. Modular sections allow the use of purpose built hydraulic lifting system in the assembly process which enables the tank to be constructed at ground level, which eliminate safety issues associated with working at height.
